My Testimonials

December 13, 2007
Dan is a man of many talents and is more unique than anyone else I know. Dan's got his finger on the pulse of "the burn". He not only wears mismatched socks, but he will trade socks with strangers! He does it not only to "pay [his weirdness] forward", but also so he can have a memento of meeting them. He's a great photographer and is amazingly kind and understanding to his models.
In short: Dan rocks.

Watermelon Dan what to say what to say simply put Dan is the Man! Since the stars aligned n our souls collided erupting in fiery hot sparks I’ve been truly inspired by his friendship, positive nature, & artistic talents.

No no really this guy is a BAD ASS (he has a shirt that says so!)

Just wait you’ll see he makes even the most wholesome girlz purr “Oh ma goodness that’s dirty” amidst thunderstorms n tiger balms vapors……You just have to stand back watch the magic n applaud his take on life.

The fantastic plastic fruity duo Watermelon Dan & Raspberrybelly Rachel aka THE RAYCHAMELON (actions figures coming soon) tumbled through a whirlwind of events.....throughout it all though he wore a wicked mischievous smile proudly displaying his melon molesting badge.

So saddle up for a juicy slice with some spice mmmmyummmeee

My drive through friend!..."Yes, I'd like one Dan w/ cheese, and hold the mayo!"
This guys got a unique sense of style. Single handedly he has managed to make dayglo pink and other flourescent colors cool again. This alone would secure him a place in the anals of this decades history books. But there is more...

He has a very pleasent demeanor. He is a supporter in his friends projects that he believes in. A freak w/ fire Poi and a current staple of Tedward fireplay. In Dan, you have a sturdy friend indeed! Thank you for your help at ReflectionS!

about me
when asked, "what do you do?", I say:
I'm a photographer and a fire spinner. I play a didgeridoo, and speak french. I do tumbling, trampoline and play in a volleyball league. I host a monthly art gallery at my house. invariably, people look a little confused and tell me they meant my occupation for money. I ask them if that's what they really want to talk about...

if you know who theodor geisel is, email me. that makes you cool. email me anyway. I like strangers.

my apartment is named rue moutarde. my monthly art gallery is named gallery moutarde. my mustard refrigerator is named frigo moutarde.

I've never had a cavity. I don't get sick. I'm not allergic to anything. I've never gotten a brain freeze (though I've tried). I don't get headaches. but my shoulder dislocates from time to time.

I always wear mis-matched socks.

I play sgt luther robinson in <a href="www.rainbowcarnage.org"> rainbow carnage</a>, a <a href="sins.la">rocky horror</a> shadowcast style live production of <a href="www.get-hed.com">hedwig and the angry inch</a>.

I take a lot of pictures.
I chew a lot of gum.
I have over 100 containers of mustard in frigo moutarde.

I travel a lot. particularly to new york and france.

I have a subscription to the <a href="www.weeklyworldnews.com">weekly world news</a>.

I don't capitalize when I type. except for I. I really don't know why I capitalize I. I don't do it consciously.

I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

I have never been accosted to buy girl scout cookies.

<a href="www.bobafett.net/pictures/...v">to the extreme, I rock a mic like a vandal</a>

"a person should not believe in an ism. he should believe in himself. I quote john lennon, 'I don't believe in beatles. I just believe in me.' a good point there. after all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus."

"Your livejournal entries exhaust me. :)"
<a href="www.livejournal.com/users/da...eriously, check out dan501, he's a bohemian super human."</a>
<a href="www.livejournal.com/users/da...0858.html probably have the best life ever and can talk about having the best life ever in a way which doesn't make people who don't have the best lives ever want to strangle you!"</a>
<a href="www.livejournal.com/users/da...1851.html journal turns out to be LJ disney world!"</a>

"there is nothing we won't try.
never heard the word impossible.
this time, there's no stopping us."

I live by very few specific rules. here's one of them: if one person buys another person dinner and a movie, the second person is <b>obligated</b> to put out. lunch and a movie doesn't count. dinner and a play doesn't count. it's only dinner and a movie. If one party pays for their own dinner or their own movie, it doesn't count. this rule must have been explicitly explained to the obligated party before the date.

ps - the "your soul" for which I'm here is more of a flaming dread pirate roberts thing than a benevolent hippie gentle nurturing thing.

The first time I saw anybody spin fire, I was transfixed and inspired, but it was so far removed from my vision of myself that it didn't occur to me that I could do it.
Subconciously, I thought that Other Kinds of People do crazy circus things like that.
Six months later, I went to Burning Man for the first time. I found myself in ... read more

I'll be at Prometheatrics - 7:00 & Esplanade. Come say hi and/or check out The Box. The box is a hollow cube suspended by bungee cords wherein every interior surface is covered with mirrors. YOU get inside, you see infinite in every direction, you bounce around, your shit gets freaked right the fuck out. The box is best at night and is so cool that it's also cool when you're sober! We spin fire nightly when the first star is visible - there's a big window of diffractive plastic. great f... read more
