From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi. My name is Logan Brennan and I'm a student and musician from Orange County, New York. I reside in New York City with my fiancé and our dog. Below is some information about me. Although it doesn't affirm my expertise in adding or modifying Wikipedia pages, I thought I'd put some stuff up about myself anyway.

[edit] Education
I've recently graduated from the City College of New York with a B.A. in Sociology, minor in history.
Through my studies at CCNY I've produced various research papers on different subjects and with different methods, both quantitative and qualitative. Research methodologies that I've worked with and are familiar with include content/textual analysis ( analyzing both written and audio visual mediums), surveying, interviewing (both in person and online) and participant observation. Some favorite topics of mine include children's media studies and education policy.
[edit] Music
When in high school, I performed in concert and chamber choir as well as jazz, concert and marching band. In college i performed in choruses, jazz band, and orchestra.
Beyond school stuff, I also played music with my friends. Here's a history of my life in band form:

Through these bands I have performed in a variety of settings, from bars, restaurants, town halls and colleges, to large theatres and venues. Some venues I've played at include CBGB's, The Bitter End, Arlene's Grocery all in New York City, and The Chance in Poughkeepsie. I've played with local and nationally touring acts. I've also gained experience playing parties and charitable fund raisers.
Currently I'm working on Stop, a powerpop rock band that I've begun to establish with some friends. Check it out at the link below.
[edit] Hobbies
Beyond music, I usually enjoy reading both non fiction (U.S. social/cultural history and educational theory/history) and fiction when not doing playing computer games. I've also been dabbling with brewing homemade beer and knitting. I also enjoy creating and editing wikipedia pages, although my skills are very basic.
