California State University-Northridge
Northridge,California
Graduated: 1993
Student status: Alumni
Degree: Bachelor's Degree
Major: RTVF Radio TV Film
Clubs: 3.5 years of folks never having heard of Northridge and then I missed the quake by 2 weeks. No fair!
About me: Don't drink, don't smoke. What do I do? Busybusy looking for a job (got any good leads?), being in a band (Rookie Card), the occasional side project (Cover Me Badd) and oh so much more. I actually started DJ'ing locally as No Cheesy Party DJs San Diego and set up a free nationwide directory for cool DJ's, bands and party/wedding vendors. Let me know if you know anyone in the US that should be on it or just go to No Cheesy Party Bands and poke around. I am lucky enough to know and meet a lot of really great people and then forget their names....a lot.
Who I'd like to meet: People who aren't too cool to get excited. People who love laughing at people who get too excited. It's a fine line, folks. Walk it. WALK IT!
