About Leftonred Atanycorner

Yes, That is my real name. It is a legal name change and was done in 1998. Everyone calls me 'Lefty' It started out as a screen name and I decided to change it because people told me I couldn't have a name like that. I have never been a conformist. Don't bother asking me what it was before the name change, as I'm not going to tell you. There was a neat article written about me in the New Yorker Magazine, and I took 11th place in the 2007 Name of the Year Tournament.

I am a 7th generation native New Yorker and I live on The Upper East Side which is a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

I am also known as The Social Network Meister.

There is a guy using Wordpress as Leftonred, it is NOT me.

There is also a cool Girls group named Left On Red. I am obviously not them. They sound really really good, as I've seen video of them playing, and I'm waiting to randomly run into them, as they Busk in the NYC Transit system, and tell them how cool they are.

There used to be a Ska group down South, I don't know if they are still around, that plays as Leftonred. I did not play with them, but thought about auditioning as their Air Drummer. They've been around a lot longer than the girls, but not as long as me :)

There is something called Lefton and it comes in the color Red, as well as other colors. It's ceramic and looks like it could have been around for longer than all of us, including you.

Can you make a Left On Red in the United States? Apparently, you can.

I started using the screen name around 1996. Some Bozo from a Tech Seminar registration office told me I couldn't have a name like that when I registered for one of their events. I told him "Yes I can!" And changed it soon after that.

It's not that creative a name. If I could think of it, anybody else could as well.
