About Me

Me, Myself, and I: My name is Evan Hamilton. I'm 22, live in Oakland, CA (yes, 109-murders-a-year Oakland). By day I am the Community Ambassador for Flock. By night (well, and day sometimes) I sing in a band called Monsters are not Myths.

There may be something wrong with my head. I always need to be doing something, I always need to be thinking. I always need to be creative, I always need to be innovative. I always need to be nice, I always need to be badass. Am I bipolar? Maybe.

In any case, I balance this by acting crazy; earlier this year I was working four jobs, playing in the band, moving to Oakland, and reading 3 books (Flying at Night, So You Wanna be a Rock'n'Roll Star, and Strangers in a Strange Land) at once. I'm a little calmer now: two jobs, the band, 2 books (Get In the Van, Creating Customer Evangelists), and making flavored Vodka. You know...normal, wholesome American things.
