| | edcigar's Blurb About Me: i'm cigar. I am a semi/professional musician, audio tech, and all-around awesome guy. I've been playing drums for a little less than 6 years and guitar & bass for about 5. I'm also an audio engineer and help manage a rehearsal/recording studio. I'm a graduate of the Institute of Audio Research, so I try to keep my work as audio oriented as possible, however you can still find me doing stagehand work at bigger local shows (like the Warped Tour). I enjoy playing MarioKart 64. Who I'd Like To Meet: Iron Maiden! Cool people. Punk rock broads. Or chicks with the really crazy hair colors. Darth Vader. The Frito Bandito. Whoever marketed Pogs. Josie & the Pussycats. Norman Smiley. Kurt Russell dressed like Snake Pliskin. The Bad Brains. Numerous pornstars. The Transformers. The Repo Man. The guy who invented the JVC Kaboombox. John Madden. Modern day marketing executives, Seth Macfarlane & Dane Cook so I can kick them all in the nuts, cause then I'd be "that guy". edcigar's Interests: General: Music (obviously), audio stuff, song writing, other writing, concerts, women (in uniform), flipping out at shows, rockin' like dokken, anything having to do with sports (watching/playing), Dallas Cowboys, New York Yankees, New York Knicks, New York Islanders, Celtic Football, driving around, kicking anyone's ass in video games like Street and Mario Kart mofo (and now Guitar Hero II), skateboarding, pumping iron, partying like crazy, partying like it's 1999, partying till the cows come home, etc. Music: I will always love a few bands no matter if they throw rocks at my house and set my car on fire: Iron Maiden, Guns N' Roses, Social Distortion, Dropkick Murphys, the Wu-Tang Clan, Judas Priest, Bruce Springsteen, the Misfits, Rancid, NWA, and a few others.
