Matthew Lawrence


Bio

I was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1981 and grew up in nearby Cranston, the same city as Ali McGraw's character in Love Story.  After a childhood mainly spent explaining that I wasn't related to the other Matthew Lawrence, I moved away for college and vowed never to live in Rhode Island again.

One year later, I was living in Rhode Island again, working on an anthropology degree.  After graduating, I moved to one of the quieter parts of town and now I'm more or less content being settled down here.

I worked at Brown for nine years, keeping myself busy with other jobs and projects. I've DJed parties and club nights, co-curated a Dog Film Festival, hosted three spelling bees for adults, judged facial hair competitions, learned a little bit about bookbinding and letterpress, opened a gallery in my apartment, organized a read-a-thon for the local chapter of Books Through Bars, made some videos, worked as a location scout, a barback, a stockboy and a fashion stylist. I've also forgotten seven years of French lessons, been legally ordained by an internet Church, blogged a lot, and spent a really ridiculous amount of time making lists of my favorite songs.
