Additional Information
"I'm a performer/writer. I love walking, movies (all kinds), and enjoy most anything that facilitates good or silly conversation. If it be done over a beverage, all the better. Oh- and if I go too long without playing some b-ball, I get the DT's."

Introduction
Uptown 4 life! My family's been in the Heights since the end of the Depression. I've been here long enough to remember when folks ran from the area (80's Crack Wars, anyone?); I plan to hang around long enough to have the last laugh, & then some...
How did you hear about The Upper Manhattan Experience?

Came out to support Karaoke Dan one Sunday. Saw him rock the boardwalk @ Coney all summer '07, asked if he worked anywhere else; nearly fell out when he said the Kilt, of all places. There I ran into someone I knew, she invited me, and... here I am!

What neighborhood do you live in?

Washington Heights, near Columbia Presbyterian.

Where is your favorite place to hang out north of 125th street?

Coogan's: B'way, bet 168-169 Sts. Dan is the man, without a doubt, and Piper's Kilt rocks, but Coogan's is home-- great spot/karaoke/people, and I can WALK there. Of course, now that I've met you guys, I guess I'll have to do some more traveling...

What kinds of activities would you like the Upper Manhattan Experience to host?

A quality comedy show! I've hosted a kickass comedy/variety show for 8 years; I'd kill for the chance to do it uptown. Get me a venue & enough lead time, I'll hook it up. If you think folks'll come out, I'd consider securing a venue, too (the Kilt?).

  •  Hey Eric, would you be interested in doing a comedy night with us. We have a couple other stand-up comics in the group who have been discussing this idea for a while now.
