I'm a drummer for Hitchhike, and a User Interface Designer/Usability Consultant. I live in Louisville, KY, the whiskey-swilling, bluegrass-lovin' former home of Muhammad Ali and Hunter S. Thomson. I went to Ball State University from 1983 - 1986, where I met my now-husband and Hitchhike band-mate, Kyle Barnett. Before marrying Kyle, my name was Lisa Peterson. I majored in graphic design at BSU and enjoyed many a show at the No Bar.
What bands are you or have you been in?
SIWA (Austin, TX), Hitchhike (Austin, TX and Louisville, KY)
Oh I remember when I went back a couple years ago North side Jr. High looked sooo small. Oh and my old house...it was for sale. The bank owned it because some single guy defaulted. It needed some serious TLC.
It was so great to see you looking so fab at the Boatmen show. If you and Kyle come thru Indy again please let me know so we can get together and talk.
I really have no idea whether anyone is doing a 25th or not. I know that on classmates.com Betsy Broadbent (delks) is listed as the organizer or contact person for reunion stuff. But seriously...we don't live that far apart anyway so maybe we can get together on our own.
HOLY CRAP!!!...Wow it's great to hear from you Lisa and you look great too! I have to tell you that the welcome Ive received here sure is a lot different to the one I got a couple years ago when I went north to the motherland.
I don't want to make it sound like people were mean or anything they weren't, but they sure were far more conservative and tight-lipped than i was expecting. I ended up at a party at Melinda Minzies with people you would find all too familiar. I'm glad I went and it was great to see them but it really made me reflect on the difference in the friends we make due to our parents location or sports and those we make on our souls.
Other then Greg Leach, I haven't a peep from any of them since.
Slim and Ralph don't travel well, but I will ask them if they are interested. The cool thing about TTFOTM is you always know when we are playing, If you can't make it one month you already know when the next show is.
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…
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…
