I have a vestigial tail (no, it doesn't stick out), my thumbs are double jointed and asparagus makes my pee smell funny. Bowel movements are regular with the aid of copious amounts of coffee. My ankles itch when the weather is cool and dry.

2 kids (today is the older one's 8th birthday... yer all invited to the party on Saturday for cake and ice cream), married (barely).

Don't drink much anymore but have recently started smoking weed a little bit after several years of abstinence (Doctor's orders... no, really, true story).

I look younger than, but feel older than my age (50... urk).

Words to live by: a clean asshole is a happy asshole.

The rest is on a need-to-know basis, and you probably don't need to know. For that matter, you probably don't want to know either.

I started out as a bartender too, Harry, tending and managing a li'l dump in Marysville, CA, called The Alibi, worked my way back to L.A. around '82, did a five-year stint as a stage manager at Hollywood Center Studios (worked on some terrific films like "Misery" and "Scrooged" and "Throw Mama From the Train"), was a director of development for a low-budget film producer for a year then said producer died and I took a couple of gigs writing docs for PBS, then snaked my way into writing porn for way too many years ... used adult magazines as a steppingstone to getting out of porn (you'd be surprised by how good a credential a by-line or two in Hustler actually is), then began the indie mag and trade mag writing circuit until the dot com bust and 9/11 changed the landscape for magazine publishers ...

... so back into porn for a short spell but by that time the adult film and video market had really changed. The cable market had relaxed their standards and were buying softcore cuts of wall-to-wall/gonzo movies. Actual stories were no longer required.

Fell horribly ill and landed on Social Security Disability in 2001 ... made one year's salary selling two stories to The National Enquirer, became a features writer for the trade mags X Biz World and AVN, capitalized on the success of "Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes" with my book about the Wonderland murders, "Long Time Money and Lots of Cocaine", managed to get by on those sales for about a year and a half and then the bottom dropped out in late '06 and I ended up back in my hometown of San Francisco for a year. That didn't really work out, except for the Kerouac show I wrote and produced for Vesuvio and The Beat Museum and, of course, I made some great friends at City Lights Books.

Now I'm living in sunny Las Vegas, writing book reviews and a book column for Pop Matters, radio shows for Roy Orbison Radio, penning daily pieces for my Carver's Dog blog, and launching Trace Publications with "Mr. Bukowski's Wild Ride."

I left a lot of shit out. That's the thumbnail sketch.
