Hmm, let's see...
Went to Columbia College in 1990, Joined a band for a short time out in San Francisco in 1991, Started a band called 'Loudmouth' back in Chicago in 1993. Met my lovely wife Sandy in Michigan City, Indiana in 1994, Moved to downtown Chicago in 1995, got a record deal and got married the same week in 1998 (totally by coincidence). Had a song in the football movie 'Varsity Blues' in 1998. Saw most of America while touring with the band in 98',99' and 2000. After Loudmouth, bought a house in Oak Lawn in 2002, moved to Joliet in 2005 & built a recording studio in my basement where I record local bands. I also still write and record my own original music, and I play in an 80's cover band called '80's Enough'. We do stuff like Madonna, Adam & the Ants, Devo, The Go-Go's - all that fun new-wave stuff from high school. Let's see, what else...my wife and I are vegetarians, she does yoga, I do accounting, My mom and Dad are still happy and healthy, as are my brothers and sister. We miss the living in the city alot, but we also really like Joliet. I like Radiohead, The White Stripes, Coldplay, the brand new Metallica CD, and my favorite food is tacos. Or Nachos.
By the way - I have a gig so I can't make it to the reunion, but I'm going to the Icebreaker the night before. See you there!
Here's my favorite Oak Lawn story:
Once upon a time, I graduated and got out of there! The End.
Just kidding!
But seriously - I'm glad I got out.
Okay, Okay, of course I had fun in high school! But most of it was 'extracurricular'. Wow, I never thought I'd use that word in an actual sentence. I guess I did learn something while attending Oak Lawn High!
