Am I Available to Host?
Chances are only about 2% that I am available to host at the moment. I am trying to establish myself in Barcelona, looking for a job and trying to find my own flat. Don't be surprised if my answer declines your CS request even for the smallest reason.
To Request a Couch From Me:
1.) Realize that my answer will probably be "Sorry, I can't host"
2.) We have to be 'connected' significantly!
3.) Understand that the flat I am staying in until Dec. 5th is TINY
4.) If you meet the above (#2 especially!), send me a request.
5.) After 5 December, I cannot host because I am looking for a new flat!
Couch Info:
Small flat, 1 bed, limited floor space. No privacy at all!

Personal Description
born in california
schooled in utah
living in spain
I've traveled a bit trying to 'find myself,' but I always end up where I started : playing my trombone. I'm working on popularizing a most "unfortunate instrument" by playing in bars, cafe, clubs and restaurants in Barcelona. This social/musical night life is new to me, but it's something that I am now addicted to and hope to continue for quite some time.
Here are a few projects I am working on:
Calamar Milla
http://calamarmilla.weebly.com
"Calamar Milla" (Squid Miles) is a band that recently picked me up! I'm working on the website as we speak, but keep checking.
Barcelona Jams
http://bcnjams.weebly.com
A list of jam sessions I have attended and my opinion of each! Also a website that is continuously under construction.
Music Incogitatus!
http://incogitatus.weebly.com
A "Free Improvisation" ensemble I started in Logan, Utah. Eventually there will be a few sessions in Barcelona and beyond!
Megalopolitan Soundscapes
http://soundscapes.weebly.com
A "soundscape" project involving metropolitan areas. An off and on project for me.
How I Participate in CS
I came, I saw and I went. I donate clothes to my hosts accidentally because I always forget to pack something. I have clothes in: Vienna, Lyon , Munich, Salt Lake City UT, Moscow ID, Eugene OR, Hesperia CA, Logan UT... maybe more.
I'm a member of the NMW (New Member Welcome) Committee - if you're new, you may have received a message from me! And by the way, I'll answer your questions if you have any -- just send me a message!

Music, Movies, Books
Movies
I like mostly indie films/Sundance Films, I'm a sucker for Darren Aronofsky films, David Lynch, Focus Features films, Donnie Darko, Kaufman Films, Jodorowsky, Weird Stuff, Synecdoche, Brazil and of course Tim Burton stuff.

There's way to much to list. If it's worth your liking, I'll enjoy it too. I also enjoy listening to ambient sounds and soundscapes. Check out one of my favorite albums: http://tiny.cc/h2wqR

From Rafa Dujarric Barcelona, Spain Nov 10 Positive The musical and spiritual master guru in calamar milla! Great sense of humour and amazing musician!!
From Dani Ledo Reis Belem, Brazil Nov 8 Positive We always get lost together in Barcelona...
Sweet and gentle guy. I feel very confortable with him.
From Keshri Bapoo Johannesburg, South Africa Nov 8 Positive haha
Anthony is a funny guy.. he totally made me feel at ease and be able to laugh at myself!
i hope we can couch surf in the future
From Aziz Oulmassaoud Turku, Finland Oct 28 Positive funny Anthoshaaa :D (as been called that night) at the meeting of Rabat-Salè group/one of the best i´ve ever been, we are suppose to meet in Barcelona. u remember?
From Otmane KHAYAT Rabat, Morocco Oct 27 Positive i had great time meeting Anthony, in Rabat monthly meeting, he came just to join this meeting, but he decided to stay one more day, cool we managed to let him like our city, really don't miss to meet Anthony you'll enjoy chilling out with him, c ya soon mate...
From Jonathan Kirsch Durham, United States Oct 24 Positive Anthony is a funny, responsible, flexible surfer - total joy to host in our home! After traveling all day, he was patient enough to wait an hour outside for us to arrive home, and then went straight to work fixing a broken string on my old violin. He proceeded to teach our two young boys how to play trombone, and woke me up the next AM on my B-day with a birthday tune! If you get the chance, host him and be enchanted by all of his stories of being on the road.
From Katie Savastano Eugene, United States Oct 23 Positive It was a weird feeling when this guy left town. Eugene was not the same. We were all so active together. He's so sociable, he brings people together, even though he's the nomadic one. It's quite a gift.
I can't wait for him to come back and tell us his stories, and also for him to see all the changes we've made in our homes! He can be my party planner! Yay! Oh the dinner parties we will have...
That reminds me, he saved me from being a panicked host at my own housewarming party by making a hell of an orderve/cheese plate.. He's so good at helping!
Also, he's the best goddamn trombonist I know.
From Miae Lee Seoul, South Korea Oct 20 Positive you funny kinda picky geek..well
I met him by the host. He is nice, funny guy. good musician I guess I didn't have a chance, I hope I can check someday.
unfortunately I can't meet him in Barcelona what we talk about heehee. it is also someday.
nice guy...ummm..
From Marti Bayer Barcelona, Spain Oct 19 Positive Meeting Anthony was a great experience!! He joined our band with his trombone and we had a fantastic sesion. After the music sesion we went out with my friends and had a great crazy party night!
The day after I went to work (that was hard for me) but when I came back home he had cleaned the house!
I look forward to jam again, have a great time and keep in touch!!
From Holger Michel Alicante, Spain Oct 19 Positive Anthony is a full time traveller and hitch hiker. I enjoyed having him as a guest. A easy going, respectful and social person with a great sense of humor. We had lots of fun with other CS friends and I I am looking forward to host him again.
PS: I found out that the milk is made from non genetical treated soy. So no worries, they won`t grow :D
From Coralie HANCOK Orange, France Oct 16 Positive It was a pleasure to meet Anthony. he is a very cool guy, very easy to talk with even if we sometimes had to use a dictionnary ! Next time you come in Provence, we'll have wine degustation et could speak about "on the road", the book I must read !!
From Kim Hunziker Winterthur, Switzerland Oct 13 Positive Despite his horrible ordeal of being stranded in the pouring rain under a provincial, Swiss highway bridge, Anthony was a great guest, a lot of fun to be around, and proved not only that he has great taste in movies and strange British TV-Comedy, but also that hitchhiking is, in fact, possible in Switzerland. A pain, yes. But possible ^^. Like, totally, dude.
From Pierre Bosquet Lyon, France Oct 12 Positive This guy is an awesome tromboner, being able to melt into a french brass band that has its own codes and social behaviours.
His way to play the trombone reflects this guy : easygoing, jazzy, that can be really quiet and then burst into laughs...
He's really the guy to rock you weekend out of its pattern.
Good luck for your hitchhiking experiences...
From theanh Munich, Germany Oct 8 Positive Anthony life is great and full with adventure stories. He is definitely not a dreamer, no he is someone who is living his the dream no matter what happen to him. It was my pleasure to host you in my home. My roommates love you ;) Keep in touch dude and take care with your hitchhiking!
From Don Stebbins Springville, United States Sep 28 Positive Anthony shared a ride to the coast and through the redwoods. He's a very interesting and positive person. I hope we will meet again when we have more time to travel together.
From Jason Gastaldo Gossau, Switzerland Sep 27 Positive Anthony's a coincidental meeting, an instant connection, an awesome companion, a fine musician, an inquisitive conversationalist, a silent snorer, and a friendly soul.
I feel really easygoing around Anthony, and I like the way he moves and speaks; I would regularly laugh when he was trying to have a serious conversation, just because of his demeanor. Sorry about that =)
We're both nomads, so that means we'll see eachother soon enough. I can't wait!
From Maxim Lowry Laramie, United States Sep 21 Positive Anthony was able to cope, keep up with, and add to the insanity of the yearly tour de laramie. good times my friend. see you next year?
From Kristin Melody Eugene, United States Sep 16 Positive What a guy! The kind of person you can run into on the streets and then spend the rest of the day with him, and enjoy it a lot! Eager to teach. learn. share (and my computer works great thanks!) Fun Fun guy.
From Elisabeth Connelly Eugene, United States Sep 14 Positive Anthony is a lovely person. I stayed with him in Eugene with my dog and roommate. We made lots of pie and played many a song. Yeah!
From Ashley "OREGON DRAGONFLY" Eugene, United States Sep 10 Positive Anthony is a very fun, positive person to be around. We have been to a few of the same gatherings this month and always have a great time! (Beer and Bingo, what more could you ask for?) See ya around Anthony!
From Jesse Hart Eugene, United States Sep 10 Positive Met Anthony at a CS event in Eugene and then again at another (then gave him a ride home to his host's place). Very friendly guy who loves his beer! I'm sure to see you around but if I don't have an awesome time on your big trip!
From Julie Donohue Eugene, United States Sep 8 Positive Hey Anthony!! I only had to talk to him for 5 minutes to know he was everything a CS nomadic ambassador should be...he is A, no wait, THE couch surfing king....or is it couch smurfing king? He's the Smurfer. He is an open and friendly guy, you'll kick it off the second you meet him!
From Joe Packwood Denver, United States Aug 31 Positive Anthony is awsome he's what I want to be the nomadic amasador I dream of following in his foot steps. Also he's nuts he was an awsome guy at tent surf.
From Brian Chico, United States Aug 23 Positive I want to get to know Tony better. I met him while he surfed with Donna in Chico. I'm jealous of his traveling, and want to learn how to 'wing' it! No hesitation in hosting/surfing again in the future. Safe travels!
From Nate Nelson Salt Lake City, United States Aug 23 Positive Tony is a man among men.
From Jeremy Marie Rouen, France Aug 7 Positive Interesting to talk to, thats the least I can sat about Anthony. He is the kind of couchsurfer I am targeting when I have the opportunity to go surfing a place, and who would be of course very welcome as a guest!
S'moring, herbs fire-cleaning, or simply camping in Utah, that's the time I spent in his company and the one I intend to spend will be on some hitch-hiking time in California dude!
From HOWARD & CHRISTINA Saratoga Springs, United States Aug 5 Positive We had a great time camping and raking hay and cow pies, feeding spiders, Thanks for all of your help. You will be back !!
From Jessica Liddell Wellsville, United States Jul 30 Positive Anthony is a master bartender and impressed everyone with his ability to stand up in a canoe while passing out beer. Anthony was a lot of fun to talk to and I look forward to seeing him again before one of us leaves the surrounding area.
From Ken Flannery Astoria, United States Jul 17 Positive I'd heard of and talked to Anthony through a few different channels, but finally met him face to face in Wyoming for tour de laramie, a drunken night of biking. Since then I've bumped into him unexpectedly in various places. He's a good guy seeking and creating action wherever he goes, it can be a thought out plan or something spur of the moment. If you've found Anthony it's likely you did so under the circumstances of good times.
From Amanda Alewine Oklahoma City, United States Jul 8 Positive Anthony and Zak made it for the annual Cinco de Mayo party and were great ambassaders for couchsurfing. Although we had a few local CS's it always helps to spread the word with those who are currently traveling. Very interesting fun Guys! We got a chance to talk the next day and they seem to really be enjoying there travel!
From Sky Harmony Portland, United States Jul 3 Positive Andrew is an amazing person, I'm so glad he was at our camp during tent surf, it made the experience a lot more enjoyable. Him and his lovely new wife went out of their way to help me while I was there, and they are both amazing artists!
I love you!
From Janelle Sandene Omaha, United States Jul 1 Positive Anthony and his friend were making a trip cross country and landed in Omaha. I was happy to show them around and had a great time doing so. He is a great person and fun to be around. Stop back soon!
From Gabriel Bianchi Torino, Italy Jun 22 Positive Anthony is simply unique! I met him while he was getting married in the middle of f#*%ing nowhere at 10,000 feet!!! crazy dude, lots of good vibe! :-D we had some good conversations around bonfires and he showed me how good he is at cursing in Italian... I sure hope to meet him again somewhere!
From Andrew Adi C Reedsburg, United States Jun 22 Positive An incredibly warm and compassionate guy who is always eager to be helpful and was a joy to camp next to! I was also his wedding photographer. Thanks for making Tentsurf '09 even better!
From LEOC Pleasant Grove, United States Jun 21 Positive Anthony is a great couchsurfer. He is always up for something fun for couchsurfers. He organizes events for CSers and motivate other CSers to participate. Definitely a cool guy to hangout with.
From Sarah Joseph Chicago, United States Jun 19 Positive Niven and Anthony were our tentsurf neighbors and they were the best possible neighbors! I absolutely loved meeting both of them. Both of them have some of the best stories ever and now they can add their crazy Tentsurf wedding to the mix. I'm so bummed that I went hiking that day. Anthony, the nomad, is always very chill and remains polite and friendly even in the most frustrating of situations. The tent circle would certainly not have been the same without him and Niven.One day hopefully I will see both you traveling nomads again.
From Taryn Nash Houston, United States Jun 17 Positive Wish I'd had more of a chance to interact with this character, but he's a warm, friendly guy. It was a blast to finally meet him around the Tent Surf '09 bonfire after a few emails had been exchanged. Thanks for everything Anthony and congrats!
From Richard Sims Littleton, United States Jun 15 Positive After emails for the North American Camp Out we finally met.
Looking forward to planning the next Colorado Tent Surf 2010

From Jon Cordoba Tempe, United States May 26 Positive From Idea to TentSurf Anthony was there every step. The spontaneous message I received from his now significant other was special and surprising! I had the wonderful privilege of performing the wedding for Anthony and Niven at TentSurf 2009 and cant wait to be there for the Baptism.... hehe! Anthony is is Musical and eclectic and all good. I miss him already.
From Chris Pelczarski Rapid City, United States May 26 Positive Anthony was a great guest to have! I would call him introspective and friendly - ready for any adventure. He is trusting, fun, friendly, and especially great at caring for others and noticing their needs. He showed up at my place when I was not home and I described how to get into my place. When I showed up at home to find 13 people who had cooked dinner for everyone and had beers cold and ready, I experienced the miracle of surfing - I was being hosted in my own apartment! Thanks for being open, giving, and a wonderful person!
From Michael Crouse Rome, United States May 19 Positive Anthony is a wonderful guy, hospitable and gracious to the core. He met up with Claire & I over in Rome, GA, and we hung out for the night talking about all kinds of things. Anthony has the traveling bug and wants to see everything. I was hoping he'd stick around an extra day, but hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go! I recommend him to any Couchsurfer.
From Mark Findley Birmingham, United States May 19 Positive Anthony is an amazing person. I loved how free and open he was, and how much he enjoyed just experiencing life.
From Rayce Delzer Rapid City, United States Apr 30 Positive Anthony is one of the coolest surfers I have had he was always fun and ready to have a good time. He was super clean with my place even did my dishes when he left.. Now thats a good surfer! We went out to the bars and had some beers fortunately for him he was a No... I really enjoyed my time chatting with Anthony and would recommend him to stay with anybody... AWESOME GUY!
From Peter & Travis Bozeman Bozeman, United States Apr 27 Positive Anthony is a great guy. Clean, courteous and fun. We would love to have him back again. He and his friend Zak stayed with us for a weekend and it was great to have them. You could not ask for better surfers. They rolled into a party we were having and everyone loved them. They hooked us all up with pizza and good conversation. We all had great things to say about them. See you in Salt Lake for an Opera.
From Josh Niemier Vancouver, Canada Apr 26 Positive Anthony is a cool trombone player. He will hook you up with some dorian trombone passages that will make you weep with joy. I highly recommend you get him sleeping on your couch as fast as possible!
From Kimberleigh Smithbower Roseblade Vancouver, Canada Apr 25 Positive Anthony- come back, Vancouver misses you and the band just doesn't sound the same without a trombone player on those few tracks! This wonderful creature graced my space for a whole week and instantly just fit himself into my circle of friends, community and music. He was a fantastic guest, a wonderful companion and I feel I have made (yet another) friend-for-life through CSing! Keep doing what you do darlin', because you do it so well! See ya on stage, in the limelight... ;oP
From Cesar Pizarro Moscow, United States Apr 25 Positive anthony was just a cool cat to hang out withit was a shame he wasn't able to stay in moscow for longer but heck we'll see each other again at tentsurf
From Dayna Buri Moscow, United States Apr 24 Positive It's been a few months, but I definitely had to change/update this. Since April when I first hosted and met him, Anthony has become one of the best friends I've ever met through CS. He is a great mentor for those newbie-nomads like me who are still trying to figure out the Open Road and its implications. He helped make my first CS event what it was by teaching me how to effectively get the message out to CS locals. He has given me advice, wisdom, and an open ear when I have been having rough days on the road. He somehow has the ability to make the CS magic happen and grow community wherever he arrives, and taught me the necessity of hugging your hosts. I run into this crazy person everywhere... from Idaho, to bowling in Denver, to the library in Salt Lake, to Tentsurf... when will the madness end?!
Those of us at Tentsurf were lucky enough to see him tie the knot with an equally amazing CSer, and they are both welcome on my couch whenever they so desire.
From Chris Clinger Moscow, United States Apr 24 Positive I met this guy at the CS happening in the Moscow/Pullman area. Great guy and easy to get along with... conversations about the deep stuff were enlightening. Also, I have no doubt that if things were to get dicey, he's the type of guy to give you the shirt off his own back. Hang out with him if you get the chance!
From Barbara Bolich Spokane, United States Apr 24 Positive I have a soft spot for traveling & busking musicians...Anthony only deepened that affection! He is the perfect guest: wise, funny, tidy, grateful, and outgoing. Take him in if you get the chance! You are welcome anytime, Anthony (you and the trombone!).
From RENZIMM Seattle, United States Apr 22 Positive Anthony is a cool guy and was a fun and grateful surfer. His project sounded cool and I hope he has a good time waltzing across the country.
From Pippa Greyhue Logan, United States Apr 16 Positive Anthony is a very cleaver, amusing, intelligent, kind hearted, poetic, fun, creative, helpful, objective, attractive chap!
From Max Boyle Vancouver, Canada Apr 16 Positive I haven't had the pleasure of hosting this man, but from what I've seen of how he gets along with his current host, I would definitely vouch for his honesty and positivity. Wish he was planning on staying a little longer!!
From Graham Colin Vancouver, Canada Apr 15 Positive Anthony is a fun guy, great to talk about music, art, anything cool. He would be a wicked guy to have on your couch, and if I ever get one he'd always be welcomed on mine.
From Daphne Gabrieli Eugene, United States Apr 10 Positive OK, truth be told, I didn't actually host Anthony. He stayed with my neighbor. But, it was just like hosting him, since we all hung out together for the weekend. I don't think strong friendships are easily come by, and--call me crazy--but I feel like I've known Anthony for years and years. Let's hope we can play music together soon. Oh, and, yeah, I'd recommend him to any couchsurfing host anywhere.
From Jude Hales Eugene, United States Apr 8 Positive Glad to be a part of Anthony's Great Adventures!
I find Anthony to be easy going, excited about and open to new experiences, a gracious guest, and good company.
From Michael Herbert Boise, United States Apr 5 Positive Anthony was a great person to host! Interesting, friendly and good conversations!
From Jordan and ryan .. brothers Riverton, United States Mar 27 Positive Anthony is a jack of all trades. The guy just seems to know everything about everything. He feels like an old friend even if you just met. Very approachable and comfortable.
From Austin Hawkins Clinton, United States Mar 23 Positive Anthony is real legit and super enthused about the couchsurfing exchange.
From Nicol Razon Los Angeles, United States Feb 27 Positive Totally positive dude and down for the cause!
From Cameron Yates Salt Lake City, United States Jan 18 Positive Anthony's a really cool dude. Laid back, well traveled, and easy to talk to, he's definitely someone you should let surf your couch or get in touch with if you're in the SLC or Logan, UT area.
From Bret Rasmussen Salt Lake City, United States Jan 18 Positive Anthony is a cool guy, super active in the CS community, and knows quite a bit about music, in an intelligent, insightful, educating way. He's a fun dude that all should get to know if they're coming to Salt Lake, or Logan.
From Susan Marjanovic San Francisco, United States Jan 12 Positive Anthony is super humble, funny and generous...I didn't get to spend much time with him while he was in SF, but he's started a monster with the 1st Annual CS Campout in North America and I am looking forward to more positive conversations and getting things done :) This guy is a pleasure to spend time with!
From Will Bollwerk Salt Lake City, United States Jan 11 Positive Anthony is a cool guy who invited me to many a Stammtisch and when I finally came we met for the first time. I'm very happy to have met him.
From Jena Desai Berkeley, United States Jan 9 Positive Met him and his friend Jon at an SF Underground meeting. It was a good time! Told me where "Basecamp" is located only a few miles from my place. I also gave him and his friend a ride back to his host. We may hang out again before he hitches back to Utah.
From PRESS1 Upland, United States Dec 17, 2008 Positive Met Anthony at a SLC meet. Great guy and very active in the CS community and organizing. See you again sometime down the road when I find myself in SLC again.
From Scott Arneman Salt Lake City, United States Dec 7, 2008 Positive Anthony needs another positive reference like I need a hole in the head, but I just can't help myself. He's a real energetic nice guy. He personally regenerated regular get togethers of the Salt Lake and Utah CS groups. Not an easy feat in it self, but did it from 80 miles away! He's the best CS has to offer.
From Naveen Hossain Draper, United States Dec 6, 2008 Positive Anthony is just an awesome guy. Very warm and genuine in his interactions with people. Makes conversation very easy. Definitely fun to talk to and hang out with, and i think it's fair to say he's always up for a discussion on music and theory. Definitely one of the coolest guys on CS that i've met.
From Scruggs Smith Clemson, United States Dec 4, 2008 Positive Good guy, up front, honest and positive.
From Brandon Gumtow Victor, United States Dec 2, 2008 Positive Anthony is a great guy, honest, smart and inquisitive. I surfed two of his couches while I was in Logan and we had many really good discussions about the state of the world. But despite what he says there is no such thing as conspiracy theorists, only theories and conspiracies. :)
From Kyle Palmer Salt Lake City, United States Nov 17, 2008 Positive Anthony is great! I had the chance to meet and talk with him briefly at a CS party. He seems very funny and friendly. I look forward to meeting up again in the future. Thanks for putting such a wonderful night together!
From Bekkie Atwood Provo, United States Nov 16, 2008 Positive Anthony invited me to the SLC Stammtisch. I'm really glad I went. He is such a fun and positive kid. I definitely appreciate his sense of humor. After food and drinks we sneaked a drawing into the boing house and drove to an after party while practicing our limey accents. I was sad that he didn't stay at the party, but I can't wait until we can get together again at the next event.
Cheers!
From Sterling Bo Winn Logan, United States Nov 13, 2008 Positive Anthony's all about having quality fun and getting the most out of life... He's great to be around, and a great listener!
From Nicholas Kelly Salt Lake City, United States Oct 28, 2008 Positive Awesome guy, very friendly and welcoming. Organized as well, so major props there.
From Angela Oliver Holladay, United States Oct 24, 2008 Positive Anthony is a really great guy. Very involved in couchsurfing and a great "organizer" He's humble, funny, and very engaging. It was great to be able to talk a bit at Stammtisch and I'm sure we'll be seeing each other around.
From Zak Evans Salt Lake City, United States Oct 22, 2008 Positive Anthony is a really nice guy and he is definetly organized at least 90% of the first Stammtisch. If he needs help in one subject, its math. I will be up in Logan soon to ride, just wait for the snow.
From Jacob Fullmer Salt Lake City, United States Oct 21, 2008 Positive As you can see, Anthony has this CS thing down, and it shows. I met him at a CS event that he put together, he was great at including everybody and was just an great guy all around.
From Carlos Dehais Stansbury park, United States Oct 21, 2008 Positive I meet Anthony at the CS gathering on Sat 18. The meetting started around 530pm at a local restaurant and then part of the group headed to a local pub. Stayed with the group till 1130pm. We had alot of fun and get to know each other. Anthony was very friendly and shared his experiences with me about the CS Project, then I learned alot from him about it.
From Karen McGrath Salt Lake City, United States Oct 20, 2008 Positive Had a great time Friday night! Suffered mutually all day Saturday... ugh.. But hey, deep fried ravioli is certainly a cure all! Thanks for the company and the wet nose fest :)
From Phillipe Bojorquez Salt Lake City, United States Oct 19, 2008 Anthony organized a cs meetup. I had a blast and i found him to be witty charming and a good host. Thanks for being you Anthony and bringing us together!
From Zach Bardon Seoul, South Korea Oct 9, 2008 Positive Anthony was a super helpful host who made sure I was well taken care of. He also took a great interest in my recording project, recorded some great trombone for me, helped me get a deal on some music gear, helped me meet other musicians, and made me a sandwich. Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you again in Korea!

From Ben Shaw Gordonsville, United States Sep 29, 2008 Positive Anthony is a great guy, and willing to provide a couch on short notice. Not only was it comfortable (beats a sleeping bag on the ground), but the dog kept me company and warm all night. He and his room mates are accommodating, friendly, cordial, and I highly recommend him as a trustworthy traveler well worth meeting.
From Justin Bachus Salt Lake City, United States Sep 28, 2008 Positive So I'm not sure if the first night counts because there wasn't any sleeping involved, but Anthony is definitely a fun person, and terrorizing SLC late into the night was a blast.

From Christoph Cris Vienna, Austria Feb 24, 2008 Positive After years of opera abstinence, Anthony almost got me into one! ;) (shame on me, by the way...) Haven't heard him play the trombone yet, but if the sound is as smart as his wit, I want to listen to it ;) very friendly guy with a lot of humour to share and a lot of music to play. I hope to do both with him once he finally becomes a Wiener! ;)
From Kerstin Meister Vienna, Austria Feb 20, 2008 Positive anthony was a really cool guest. he helped me with my "beersicle" problem and cheered and jumped for austria at football even though we had no chance to win... and we feel the same way about mormons!
From littletravellingme Linz, Austria Feb 17, 2008 Positive The world is definitely smaller than you think. We met briefly in Vienna last year and after that discussed about Tom Waits and which genre he belongs to. Never expected more than that to happen.
But now we met again once in his for-a-while-hometown and second surfing the same host's couch. We even made a detour to meet him. I don't think I have to say more :-)

From Dile Boscolo Chioggia, Italy Jan 28, 2008 Positive Oh Anthony!
Too bad that he didn’t have his trombone with him, I would have liked so much to listen to him!! (I’m not sure about my neighbours :o))
I’m very happy to have hosted him, he is really a genuine guy, very respectful and well educated.
By the way… the jacket was a great deal!
Thank YOU for your kindness.
Take care :o)
From Sara Santoro Athens, Greece Jan 26, 2008 Positive I guess now he can even understand the entire GODFATHER
saga in the original soundtrack, after he spent four
days heaering me talking in any kind of language! He's
a very kind and cute guy with a sense of humour which
at first baffles you and then it overwhelms you! With
him even the most normal things can become ridiculous!
At the same time though it's a real pleasure to talk
with him about serious stuff too in a night dressed
with indian food and music! Waiting for you to have
the next bottle of Rakia!!
From Kaelee Jensen Park City, United States Jan 23, 2008 Positive Anthony is a sincere friend, and very talented Trombonist. His mind is never closed, and his door is always open. You are guaranteed to have a good time when you spend it with him. He is a great teacher, full of information about music, among many other things.

From Amanda Rudd Garland, United States Nov 2, 2007 Positive He's a great friend of mine- music snob! Gotta love him and his occasional mohawk. He offered me his couch once, but I choose to bike the 4 blocks home. :) |
