I am Quinn. I run Museum of Idiots (updated June 29). I'm just a teensy bit obsessed with Mr. Linnell, which is big news to you if you've ever visited my site (or talked to me for more than five minutes). My unnecessarily detailed explanation of how I became a fan/fell in love with John is right here. I trade bootlegs. I'm also in charge of Cowtown.

I got this done on my right leg for John's 51st birthday:

And I got this one on my left arm on the ten year anniversary of the day I fell in love with him:

Other TMBG things I do: I have a Linnell/TMBG zine called This Could Lead to Excellence or Serious Injury. I've got a Tumblr where I post John gushing, rare mp3's, John gushing, videos and pictures, AIM quotes I find amusing, John gushing, and miscellaneous TMBG goodness. Oh, and John gushing. I also co-run Little TMBG Things. Sometimes I write fanfic. And I started fan pages for Sapphire Bullets, Gigantic, They Day, and Dial-A-Song on Facebook.

Other stuff: I have an English degree from Smith College. I have a sweet kitty named Smokey. I write poetry and fiction and do a couple of other zines. And that, sadly, is pretty much the extent of my life outside TMBG.
