The time has come. Canned Culture was ready for expansion to meet the needs of our growing audience and our featured artists. Meaning: we got tired of cutting the extra bits that make the show so much fun to make to fit into the 10 Minute YouTube window.

So we are now Directors. Be patient with us as we revitalize everything to make a more productive, in depth, and effective show.

Each month my co-host, Melissa Stanley and I will be bringing you the best of the underground to soak up your artistic thirsts.

Get ready for it because this time there is no holding back

I am a 21-year-old student going from one art to another and trying to keep my head above water. Political Science major with teaching credentials looking to do something worth while. I gravitate toward unlikely circumstances and risky decisions. I am constantly looking toward a big picture. I hope to become a teacher and a creator, a super hero and an activist, a performer and a director, a home for someone and an adventurist. I like some excellent music and have a quirky taste for comedy and drama. I currently have no dog which makes my life less meaningful. So if you have a dog you should come visit me in my palace'o'grandeur in the Ukrainian Village, Chicago style. Other information necessary to knowing me, you can almost always win me over with conversations waxing philosophical using arguments such as - Is entertainment more important then rational thought in America? - Do you believe in living a counter-hegemonic lifestyle? - How will dogs one day save the world?..
