Welcome, strangers.
Did you stumble onto my blog somehow?My name is Matt, many people call me Slay. (I didn't come-up with it, so don't blame me.)
I am the artistic director of Available Light.
Looking over these posts, I see that I write about movies, music, and books a lot. And I take lots of pictures in NYC and at midnight movies.
Life must be pretty good, eh?
