Photography
I'm a regular photographer for various rock/metal/alternative/fetish events, and in addition to the event galleries posted here at DSI, my best images are showcased on my portfolio:

Music
My musical tastes are wide-ranging - from funky/soulful/electro house to hard-house/trance/industrial/techno/rock/metal... and more...
Clubbing
I've got a bit bored of the funky house scene recently and I've discovered the I'm loving the alternative clubbing scene/subculture (e.g. TG/Sin City/Slimelight) and am definitely going to more of those nights this year...
I don't have any favourite London clubs at the moment (I used to love Egg and Canvas but I've gone off them because of the attitude of the bouncers, the queues, the overcrowding, and the heat)... but there's definitely a special place in my heart for the Ibizan superclubs Privilege and Amnesia.
Me
Good company and music feeds my soul, and I love to dance - salsa as well as clubbing! I also enjoy live entertainment, travel, and good food & drink, as well as the usual pubs/bars/clubs, etc. I speak two foreign languages - Dutch & German - and I know a little Italian, so you could say that I'm a cunning linguist! ;)
Help with DSI
Unfortunately DSI doesn't yet have a real help system but there are a few groups & threads where you can find help, so here are a few links to point you in the right direction:
-
DSI Hints & Tips - go here for frequently asked questions (and answers)... if your query hasn't been answered then post your question (being as clear and descriptive as you can) and someone will do their best to help you. But please *do* have a good look first - all the most common questions have been asked and answered a few times already and there's no point having another copy floating about! And join the group if you'd like to be notified of new questions - this is a great way to learn about DSI features...
-
