Joe Solomon

Burlington, VT

I've been on a wandering streak in 2012, but for the last two years, I was the social media coordinator for 350.org, a global climate campaign. Before that I was a lover, blogger, clown-in-training, bookseller, medic, and screenwriter. Come visit me and my friends in Vermont!
