- About Me
- Moved to Bloomington for school in 1985. Finally ended up in Collins in the spring of that year. Failed out the next spring! Lived with many great folks, some whose names escape me right now: Michael Lane, Spud, Steve, Phillip and Peter Paris. Eventually got back into school and graduated in 1990. Left for Chicago for one year. Then, back to b'ton in '91. Too much school followed: MLIS, M of Ed in counseling, several low paying jobs at IU, then a full-time gig in Financial Aid.
Throughout it all, the usual debauchery and many many great shows and parties. Many cigarettes bummed from Ian. Second Story and Bullwinkles my homes away from home.
Got knocked up in '01, married and then moved the daughter to Indy in '02 to be close to family. Staying at home ever since, but that's soon to change.
Having a blast and kind of a hangover looking at all the photos.

the past and the life that keeps being lived
It's been a strange time on the MFT here. I keep trying to get my sea-legs, I guess. In some groups I'm looking backward, pretty far, 20 years or so. In other groups, I'm looking at 10 years. And then in the present life keeps happening, whether I'm ready for it or not. I almost feel like I'm living all these different ages at once. I don't have anything insightful to say. It's just kind of disorienting.
I also can't believe how the tone of everything changed so quickly (at least for me). Of co… Continue

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992.
If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!

Whaddup? :D
Lesley, it's lovely to discover you again! My kids are old fogies now -- like 20 and 25. Six and 7 year olds are hilarious and brilliant; you must be dancing around in a wild world these days.
Divorce sucks but it also opens amazing doors of perception. (Uh oh, the rainbows here are effecting my cynicism : )). Best advice anyone ever gave me was to keep the kids out of the adult line of fire. That was really good advice for me.
Here's an email for you: haolewolf@gmail.com . I'd really like to send you the songs I wrote and recorded. I'm happy to tell you as much about my life as you'd like to hear -- I have a peaceful, crazy, fun exhausting, warm, shark-infested, rainbowy world here on the Big Island.
I didn't see yer face in a Facebook search -- ask to be my friend. Pretty please?!

the one that introduced me to Hawaiian pizza up in Green or Brown (Collins)?
you're even prettier than I remember!
This MFT stuff is making me a horribly nostalgic bastard in a almost visceral manner...you know what I'm talking about. We've been there together.
