-i speak fluent english and spanish, and soon to learn russian (i hope), and more.
-i am skilled at sailing (i can also operate motorized boats), driving (any size vehicle, automatic or manual), seducing sexy female foreign agents, long distance walking/hiking, swimming, free climbing, horseback riding, and i can sled if i have to. MUSH!

music stuff:
how to help: please, if you like the music:
-tell a friend! or two! get a jon crocker tattoo!
-bring someone new to a show. if they don't want to come, handcuffs always help.
-throw a party, and i will play at it. and drink your beer or soda, and eat far too many chips. because we need more parties in the USA.
-become a turbo elitist who only likes the cool underground stuff, and then mention me flippantly with such comments as "what? you've never heard of him?" people will then be shamed into liking me.
-ADD ONE OF MY SONGS TO YOUR PROFILE! (click the "add" button next to the song you like best).
-put me in your "top 8" (on myspace), because my picture is sexy and you know you can't help but share it.

to join the mailing list and get occasional updates about tours, releases, etc. (no spam, i swear), send an email to jon@intelligentlystupid.com with the word "add" in the subject line.

booking: if you want to book me to play in your town, email me at jon@intelligentlystupid.com. i tour regularly and am always open to new places. i prefer playing all ages venues and basement/house shows (no bars, please). in fact, i prefer playing the most random remote and small places. it's more fun and exciting.

oh, and about me: i write, perform, record, produce, and mix all of what you hear. i book all shows myself. you could say that i currently am enjoying the freedom of doing everything myself.
