People often ask me where I was born and for the life of me I can’t remember. That was a really long time ago. Supposedly in California, near the mall where tested the DeLorean in the first Back to the future. What I hear is I was 11 pounds and 24 inches tall. That by all accounts is a BIG baby.I could be wrong on the exact numbers, though I shouldn’t because I hear about it every time I call my mother on my birthday. Moved to Oregon when I was four, been in Eugene ever since, which can bum me out if I think about it for too long. Let’s move on…

The First Concert I went to with any longing impact on me was Weird Al Yankovic. First Movie was Who Framed Rodger Rabbit? When I was 8 or 9 ish I got obsessed with old reruns of classic tv shows like Gilligan’s Island, Bewitched, Brady Bunch, etc. Around 15 or 16, I got obsessed with rock’n’roll like Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, Richard Hell, etc. At 33, I don’t know what I’m obsessed with. I still love classic tv and rock’n’roll. I have a radio show on the university’s radio station, THE NO PANTS PARTY, currently on Thursdays 3pm-4pm, KWVA, 88.1 FM(shameless plug). I also do vocals in a punk rock band, we’re called Prefontaine though the bass player wants to change the name to something more accessible (typical bass player!) Anyway yeah…. Oh one time I met a retired Adult film star and Jesus Christ on THE SAME NIGHT! I’ll tell ya that story some other time
