Paul Estin IF

On July 4, 1968, fireworks outside a hospital window in Chicago announced the arrival of Paul Estin into the world. Contrary to earlier reports, Paul is NOT the last remaining member of an ancient and noble alien race, but he IS the last member of the band "Dr. Snark".

Paul currently sings and plays guitar, ukulele, and harmonica, both solo and in the band "Don't Fret the Small Stuff", primarily in filk circles but also in other venues. In his mortal form, Paul lives near Boston, cleverly disguised as a high school teacher (of psychology and history, but previously math and science). He has a B.A. from the University of Chicago and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of Michigan.

Among Paul's other alphabetical interests are '80s music, Andrew Sullivan, astronomy, bicycling, books, cats, cognitive science, comics, complexity, dynamism, folk music, freedom, maps, market solutions, modern fairy tales, movies, mu*ing, natural history, Neil Gaiman, non-fiction, nonstandard categories, reading, rock music, RPGs, science, science fiction, science fiction conventions, surreality, Unitarian Universalism, and xenobiology.
