Hi, this is "Laurentia". Nice sounding name? It's actually the geological term for proto-North America. I am a professional archaeologist, historian, and genealogist (specialty: Scotland). I live in the Los Angeles area. I enjoy camping, hiking, and nature. I grew up in poverty, and as an archaeologist (one of the worst paid professions) am still poor but have managed to have some wonderful adventures. I have done archaeology in Africa, the Ukraine, and Ireland. Probably the coolest thing I've ever done is to scratch the back of a wild silverback gorilla in Africa.
One of my biggest passions is music: I have always dreamed of being in a band, but have never had the time to master an instrument. So, unless I cheat and go for synthesized sound, for now I remain a very interested listener. Industrial, New Wave, Alternative, and Punk are my fave genres. My favorite bands/musicians include: Nirvana, Ministry, DEVO, Donovan, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Filter, L7, Alice in Chains, Front 242, Hole, and Foo Fighters. I also like some classical and early blues. Probably the 2nd coolest thing I've ever done is to sing punk karaoke onstage with Bob Mothersbaugh of DEVO. I am dabbling in the music industry, was the Editor of Underground Sound with a readership of 745,000. I have done reviews for numerous bands of various genres. E-mail me to arrange to send your demo: Laurentia@aol.com

The Birdhouse Arts Collective: The Birdhouse is a loose-knit collective, a platform for essayists and writers, painters and digital artists, for surrealists and situationists, ranters and rationalists, collagists and collaborators -- this is how they portray themselves. You'll find here a large gallery with words (essays, rants, fiction, true lies...), images (collage, paintings, photographs, digital art...) and dreams (surreal excursions we didn't just make up...). And don't miss the two "Spong" sections (HTML-art, Web-based creations) and "Happening" ("the best of The Birdhouse at any given moment")
