So what's your OTHER claim to fame?

I know we've got a ton of stompbox makers/junkies and musicians on here, but what other things does everyone do?

I, for example, write scripts and make movies. I'm gonna go to film school and become a cinematographer. Which all is a fancy way of saying I'm gonna be a fry cook for a career. :P

Right now i'm engaging in the pipe dream of writing a proper script based off of Jurassic Park. Because the Spielberg one, while incredibly enjoyable and fun, is absolutely nothing like the book.

when i was young i played in a small acoustic improvisational group with musicians who went on to become revered sidemen in the world of free jazz/improvisational music--to the extent that in the late 90s i couldn't pick up a copy of WIRE magazine without seeing one of them in there somewhere--within a couple of years of my quitting them because they were assholes and treated me with such disrespect.

This reminds me of an elementary school play I had to do. It was too awesome.
1. We had three MLKs and two of them were white.
2. The bus driver during the Rosa Parks scene was asian
3. The jail she was put in was a bit of garden lattice
4. The lyrics that our empowered black women history teacher wrote for the "song" (it was a cult like chant in reality) we had to sing about five times were:
Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King
Martin Luther K-I-N-G.

5. She told us that if we forgot the lyrics to mouth, "watermelon."

i'd say that you can't possibly be serious, but i've learned that there's nothing too bizarre for humans to do.

I am dead serious, that's what she told us to do. This is also the same women that claims she was a grenadier, had zero tolerance for spelling mistakes from fifth graders, and would attack us because of our poor dietary habits.
