Personal DescriptionGrew up in Lawrence Kansas. I like to drive; it relaxes me. I would skate when I was younger. I've never gone hungry, and I've always had a lot of love in my life, but I am by no means naive (that sounded kind of naive huh?)How I Participate in CSI'm always down to show someone a good time in Lawrence. good food, music, nightlife, nature (whatever).
eventually I'll have a couch. I am also more than willing to buy dinner and drinks for people putting a roof over my head--the less I have to spend on a hotel, the more i can spend on real people. CouchSurfing ExperienceNew York city and Brooklyn were very, very kind.InterestsArt, work, music, classical guitar, photography, video, acrylics, long boarding (when I'm not being lazy I like rolling downhill), exploring abandoned properties, camping, good beer, driving fast. I quite adore my Brazilian Rainbow Boa. He is nameless, but he's a good snake. Philosophyis SyntheticMusic, Movies, BooksZizek, Chuck Palahniuk, Richard Bach's illusions, Thich Nhat Hanh, Catcher in the Rye, lamb, Tao Te Ching, books are great. The Crow graphic novel is good too. music is good; Atmosphere,Gang Starr, Mirvana, old Outkast stuff, Portishead, Erykah Badu, Incubus, Ben harper, Tupac, The roots,Mos Def, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage against the machine, the Pharcyde, Pearl jam, Jimmy Hendrix, Bjork, tool...Oh my goodness I do enjoy me some tool. onward; J.S. Bach, Eric Satie, Segovia, John jervis, Niel Young, Dylan, Radio Head, Ani DiFranco, and many, many more. I like movies;lost in translation, pulp fiction, natural born killers, waking life, what the bleep do we know?, blade runner,Bruce Lee movies, ong-bak,ghost in the shell, seven, tide land...to name a few.Types of People I enjoythere are only a few things that rub me the wrong way. If you are a practitioner of one or more of these things I will kindly let you know, or swiftly leave the area. I've just recently forgotten the third option... What was it? people I enjoy?Teach, Learn, Sharecan teach the compositional rule of thirds, how to ride a bicycle backwards, a C chord on the guitar. I could totally teach someone how to make a wheel-thrown pot, though I'd enjoy teaching hand-building techniques more. One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Oct 8, 2009  Positive Haha, Walt. He had to show me at least 10 ID's in order to prove his name to me. Well, Walt is a bit calm in the beginning, but after a bit he warms up and you will see that he's a funny and friendly guy with a lot of stories to tell. His appartement is (really!) tiny but there was still enough place for his 3 guests. It's a bummer we couldn't spend more time together, but hopefully there's a next time! :)

Feb 10, 2009  Positive Walt is a very cool person!
I met him completely by accident. My good friend Sibilla and I were attempting to find the location of a friend's gathering late one night at the Sundance Film Festival, and in our searching we ran into Walt on the street. He ended up joining us and the three of us finally made it to our destination and spent the evening in a house full of merry-making festivalgoers. Walt is spontaneous, generous, and easygoing. A really great guy! I recommend him 100%!

Jan 27, 2009 Positive Walt and I shared some good conversation at a recent CSing meeting in Lawrence. I really hope to meet up again in the future so I can get to know him better, as he seemed like a really interesting deep-thinking person!
From Jennifer Raney Lawrence, United States
May 28, 2008  Positive Overall, extremely good guy who's always entertaining to be around due to his endearingly eccentric and quirky personality. Has a great enthusiasm for almost everything, but can also sit back and enjoy some mellow down time. His stories can't be beat ;)
From Michelle Shaffer San Francisco, United States
Mar 31, 2008 Positive Walt stayed on my futon for a few nights while he was visiting nyc on spring break. I had a lot of fun showing him around the city and *gasp* brooklyn. He fed me too much (that's not a complaint)! Good food, good conversation, bad live music, good times. You're welcome back any time, Walt (wherever I may be living).
From Brianna Dukelow Lawrence, United States
Mar 8, 2008  Positive Walt is an extremely reliable and trustworthy friend. He's fun and creative, very intense when it comes his art. A wonderful person to be around.
