I lived in Austin for seven years. Am currently hiding in Dallas, not very well. Will be in Austin soon, maybe even this weekend, and would love to meet. Lived in East Africa and Mexico through portions of my formative years, and in unusual circumstances.

I'm not able to have a car, see, as I have warrants

*I don't have a car either

 and also can't afford to maintain one as I work mostly pro-bono these days, although I'm doing a film now so should be rich soon. Also have a bunch of lawyers but they're busy with stuff. My GF has a car though and works as art consultant so can probably come down whenever, soon.

*I'm here all month, you could pretty much name a date and time.
