Costigan, Tom | Quebec
Tom wasn't there one day ...then he was. That's how and when he got the name Tom. He has been Tom ever since that day, to the best of his ability. He is extreremly shy, but fucking brilliant!! That's the double eged sword of those in possession of genius. Tom is black Irish. He likes to save little insects that fall into his tea cup, by running to get a tissue and help...

I'd love to get involved with film scoring for progressive films... I'm...

Garrigues, Chris | United States
Let's start with Why! My motive is to build systems - educational, cultural, personal - that empower individuals and foster social and economic change. Along the way, I am particularly interested in free spaces that provide food, accommodation, information and culture to aspiring radicals and those in need. And right now that means living the revolution of every day life.

Slepton, So -- | United States
Introducing SleptOn.com What's the Meaning of SleptOn? In common street slang, the term "slept on" implies much more than a restful slumber at night. When something has been slept on, then its significance has been disavowed and disregarded. Today, the relevance of certain issues, people, organizations, movements and events (presently and historically) lack the proper awareness...
George, Justin | Australia
Hi, I live in Melbourne, Australia, and I think I first came across Znet courtesy of the linear notes of a Propagandhi album along time ago.
