My connection to the rest of the heads.

I saw people were talking about this inside of some other post, and I doubt Josh will ever get around to making it a feature, so I figured I'd just start it as a big ass post. I'm pretty sure I've met more people on here than anyone else has anyway, so herego as best I can remember...

Abby: I met Abby when I came back to the Farm from summer camp the summer of 2001. She was always drunk at our house.

Adam: The first time I met Adam was one night outside the Pentagon dorms at LSU in Spring of 1996 I think. I met him by the big tree swing thing and I think we talked about rock.

Amanda: was at one of Huddo's parties. I think it was the one with Motorcycle Wars and Dead Teenagers where Motorcycle Wars had these briefcases full of fake cocaine with an enormous credit card and a really big straw (cos they were HUGE rockstars and they did HUGE amounts of cocaine). Me and Amanda were sitting outside Huddo's room drawing on this huge sheet of paper with markers. She was drawing dead Freud heads all over it. She kinda freaked me out when I first met her.

Amy: I'm not sure where I met Amy. Maybe in the darkrooms at LSU. I think I may have met her in the Varsity one night when they had this weird art show thing. I'm not sure if that was the first time I met her though.

Andrew: I used to see Andrew everywhere I went when I lived in Pentagon. Really, a lot of us lived in those dorms. I remember driving him to the Union once. He never talked much. I asked him what kind of music he was into and he said "R.E.M.". I think that's all he said the first time I met him.

Andy: Andy was already on killoggs when I met him. I eventually met him at a party he was having on Leaway in Baton Rouge.

Angele: Ahh. Angele. Adam, and Stuff and I used to do a radio show on KLSU and for some reason Stuff started giving soup away on air. So I was with Brad and we went to go buy some soup at a Winn Dixie and Angele was in the soup isle. That was over 5 years ago! I was checking her out cos I thought she was hot and we were both wearing overalls so I decided to walk past her on my way to get the soup. When I got close to her we looked at each other all weird like we had seen each other before somewhere, and as I walked over to get the soup I was trying to figure out where I could possibly know her from. So I decided it wouldn't hurt to walk past her again cos at least I'd get to check her out again. So when I walked back past her we ended up looking at each other all weird again and she just blurted out "Who the hell are you?". We ended up sitting in the middle of the spaghetti/soup isle for a long time talking and we found out that we knew a lot of the same people and had been hanging out in the same places for years without ever actually meeting. I left for the radio show and played her that Screeching Weasel "Supermarket Fantasy" song about wanting to squeeze the charmin too and be her grocery bagger forever, and now she's a sleep in the other room...

AnotherBen: I'm pretty sure he was already on killoggs when I met him. He had been posting for a while. I can't remember where I was the first time I met him. It was either here or in New York.

Areone: Jeff was my best friend growing up. We hung out almost every single day for years. The first time I met him was in 8th grade. We were starting high school at this aweful Catholic school in New Orleans (Jesuit). We both had skater haircuts and during the first class of the first day we both mouthed off over something or another and were both moved up to the front of the room and were told to have our hair cut by the following morning. I saw him later that day in a gym class and he asked me if I skated and I said "Yeah" and he said "Yeah. me too. We should go skate sometime. Hey, are you really gonna cut your hair before tomorrow?" and I said "Fuck no, dude." and he said "Yeah, neither am I" and the next day we both had short stupid haircuts. I haven't talked to Jeff in over a year now. I miss that fool.

Arnie: One night me and Karrie were looking at this photo album that Jared had left at my house inside of a box of records when he first got to Baton Rouge cos he was more or less squatting at my house (Jared was, not Arnie). We were trying to figure out if Jared was gay or not, and we became 100% positive he was when we looked at the photo album and found all these naked pictures of Arnie and this other guy named Josh (and maybe even Stephan now that I think about it). And while we were looking at it, Brad magically appeared at my door with Arnie and the Josh guy standing next to him and he said "Hey. You should meet my friends Arnie and Josh." I started kicking Karrie in the leg cos she hadn't yet looked up from the photo album yet, and when she did her eyes got all big and she started blushing and she frantically spazzed out and tried to find a place to hide the photo album without them noticing. We were convinced that they were all gay for several months to come. I eventually ended up living with Arnie in Santa Cruz.

Bendependent: When I was in high school I always wanted a cool punk rock nickname like Lee Ving or Pat Smear or Poly Styrene. I went with Bendependent once I started getting comics into the Reveille. I've gotten a little bored with it since then, but it's stuck and I really don't mind it too much. I like it much better in print than I like it said out loud. It freaks me out when people call me Bendependent. It's nowhere near as cool as Luster Kaboom.

Boudet: I've never met Boudet. I know he worked with Josh in Baton Rouge though. I lived in Santa Cruz at the time.

Brad: was in one of my photography classes. I hardly ever went to that class. It was my first one. I used to show up to critiques with musicians and games and pranks and prizes for everyone. For my first critique for that class I brought these 2 Canadian blues musicians who were squatting at my house at the time to class to play while I "unveiled" my photographs because I told everyone that they just weren't good if they weren't accompanied by live music. I was such a jackass in school. Brad lived in the same apartment complex as me at the time and we eventually started hanging out. One of the first times he talked to me, he told me that he liked this really horrible Hawaiian shirt that I had on. We eventually moved to Santa Cruz together.

Brandon: was my boss at KLSU when we did the show there. The show was really out of control at points and he used to call us and tell us to tone it down. Looking back, after years of Brandon posts, that really cracks me up.

BrandonA: worked in Student media with us. His head was used by the other Brandon for about a year because I had confused them for some reason. That was really weird.

BrianBibbly: I met Brian outside of one of Angele's Christmas parties. I was friends with Nathan, and he said that they had grown up together.

Buzz: was at the CityPaper cos he threw a party for himself and brought a lot of boxed wine for everyone after they let him draw the cover and illustrate the cover story one week. He told me I looked like a movie star from the 40s and met me a few days later at the Johnny Rockets in Union Station to take pictures of me to put in his comic.

Carla: also worked at the paper when I started. I had met Kara already and she was friends with her. I saw her at the Christmas party at the cool kid's table but me and Angele didn't talk to anyone. We just got drunk and made fun of them. I think Buzz was at that party too. Carla gave me a little Kerioppi card on Valentine's Day and we eventually started hanging out and going to lunch on Wednesdays.

Cecil: was introduced to me by LusterKaboom this summer. We met up with him at this weird dance club bar thing in LA. I had already heard of him cos Angele told me that his livejournal was really funny. I ended up crashing his garage sale, sleeping on his couch, and splitting table space with him at ComicCon, and now he's here...

Chris X: was introduced to me by Kara. I think I met him at his record store, and Angele and I went over to his house to watch really bizarre movies and take pictures in his coffin. Was that the night of Danger Diabolique? I don't remember.

Clay: lived at this really messy house that Josh took me to once. It was messier than my house at the time which was really impressive. They had a movie theater in that house. It was really ridiculous over there. Clay was also in a screenwriting class with me later on.

Colin: was best friends with Joanna and was at a party that Kaycee and Katya were having. We have the same birthday. I love this man. I wish he would post here. I've never met anyone I shared a birthday with who I didn't like.

Courtney: and I started talking on AIM one day after she had been hanging out on killoggs for a while. I eventually met up with her last summer and we went to see Wil box Barney at this club in SF with Loren.

Craig: lived down the street from me in BR. We used to hang out and draw shit. I'm not sure where I met him for the first time. Maybe he remembers...

Cricket: was dating Byron when I met her over at his house. We never really became friends until we went to jail together in Port Allen for painting trains. I eventually ended up living with her in Santa Cruz too (with Brad and Arnie) where we became the best of buds.

Denee: worked at Visions when I moved here. We went to get lunch together a few times. I like Denee a lot. She never stops picking on me.

Dianne: was introduced to me by Mary one day. We went out drinking at Angles and I was impressed by how bitter and hateful she seemed.

Ed: sent me an email one day asking for a head for his website. He sent me a comic for the comic of the day soon after. After that, I thought he kicked ass. Then I went and looked at his website and started thinking it would be really cool to have him on killoggs, so I drew him and gave his head to Josh with some others and Josh assumed we were old friends or something. I'm really glad we randomly added Ed. That makes me happy.

Emily: is my sister. She's a year and 10 months older than me, and just as silly if not sillier.

Erica: was introduced to me one night at Kara's house. I didn't really get to know her until we went camping in West Virginia a while later though.

Evan: was in a Visual Communication class with me at LSU. He had Operation Ivy and Fifteen patches on his bag. I used to pass him dumb comics in class cos that's all I really did in school.

Gen: lived in Pentagon dorms the same time as I did. We used to cook together now and then. She was vegan, and I was not. We made a pizza with broccoli on it once.

Geoff: worked with me at CityPaper when I started. He lives in Austin now. I wish he would start posting here...

Heather: I met Heather in the back of the water filled pickup truck that was at the DeathWish show that was behind Insomkneeaks. She was friends with Nathan's sister, and I think she had just gotten back into town from Portland or something. She is also Rick's sister.

Huddo: I saw Huddo's band Motorcycle Wars the first week I lived in DC. Then I started working at the paper, and there he was. We've been road dogs ever since.

Jad: lived in Pentagon also. Everyone knew Jad. He spun records in his room all day and all night.

Jared: moved to Baton Rouge one day and called me up cos he got my number from Sarah Smith. He said that he couldn't come over that night cos he had other things to do. I didn't know who the hell he was. A day later he drove past me and yelled my name and pulled over and introduced himself. I thought he was really weird. And gay. And then he started working where I worked. He really freaked me out when I first met him. Eventually we started hanging out all the time and drinking together every night and trying to get girls to come over and give us back rubs.

Jeff: was also on killoggs before I met him I think. I think I met him the same night I met Andy at his party. Not sure if that was the first time though...

Jeni: was Jeff's friend. She used to post, but she disappeared. I never met her.

Jenny: was introduced to me by Jad one day outside of Pentagon. I started dating her and then I cheated on her a bunch and then I started dating her again and then I cheated on her again, and then she hated me for a long time, and then we became friends again. Jenny is one of my favorite people in the world.

Joanna: is also one of my favorite people in the world. I haven't talked to her in a while. She fell off the face of the earth. She emailed me a few weeks ago and I wrote her back, but she hasn't responded. We used to hang out every night and do silly things and talk about sillier things. She also moved to Santa Cruz with us, but had to leave suddenly cos her mom got sick. I miss her bunches and bunches.

Jon: is my brother. We don't talk as much as I'd like, but that's ok. We were very close growing up, but I don't feel like I know him as well these days as I used to. He turned 24 two weeks ago. He hates the phone as much as I do if not moreso, so we don't talk too much. We're still pals when I'm in town though. It would be nice if he started posting too. He draws way better than I can. Always has.

JonReichert: has never posted. He was an art guy at LSU. I have no idea what he's up to these days.

Josh: I met Josh outside of a show in New Orleans at the Faubourg Center. He had heard of me as the Ben who Jenny had dated and was really pissed at. I saw him a few days later and traded him a self made comic book for an Atari. Then he came over and gave me some shit for my computer which I had just gotten. I started working with him at student media a while later as a photographer for the yearbook. We hung out really late together a lot of nights scanning negatives. He had long hair and I used to call him "Shakespeare Head". He also listened to nothing but "Rap and Girl Bands". ha ha. I saw him the summer I lived in Santa Cruz cos he was teaching summer camp at Stanford. I moved to Wyoming and then into my mom's basement where I worked at the Fairgrounds Racetrack and bought a new computer, taught myself Flash, and we put up killoggs one night. I started teaching at the summer camp that summer, and then moved up to DC with Angele. Josh went back to camp a summer later, and then moved up here.

Kara: did a radio show and a zine that Angele found online before she moved up here. She told me to look at her webpage and zine, but I never bothered to cos I tend to do things like that. Once we got up here Angele and I went over to her house to meet her. I'm sure that freaked her out. I gave her some comics and she gave me some zines and we became pals.

Kaycee: and Katya used to storm the LSU campus on bikes together. They lived in a dorm together. Me and BigBird (Chris) met up with them one day to go dumpster diving. Those were the good old days.

Kevin: was on killoggs before I met him. I think the first time I met him was at Fort Reno last summer.

Kiche: also lived in Pentagon. I also don't remember the first time I met Kiche. We used to stay up later than everyone else talking about really absurd things like the Flat Earth Society. My finest memories with Kiche were when he had a job driving a golf cart called "the Litter Getter" and he used to come pick me up at my dorm where I would jump out of my window and we'd fuck around all day on the golf cart.

Laura: was in art classes with me at LSU. I've never known her too well or hung out with her too much.

Linus: was the editor of the LSU newspaper when I first met him. He has a really catchy newspaper name. He was the first person to decide to ever run one of my comics.

Loren: is friends with Evan. They put up underachievers and me and Josh got jealous and put up killoggs. I met Loren for the first time when Evan was living on his floor in SF and working at Lookout Records. We didn't really hang out that night though. In fact, I slept outside of his house in my van that night cos I had to pick up Angele from the airport all early the next day so we could go on adventures and I wanted the sun to wake me up. I've hung out with Loren every summer since then though. We've done a lot of fun shit together like go to Comicon twice and to a water park. I've camped on his roof twice, been to his workplace, was there when he first met Kelly, and got to hide notes all over his new house when he first moved in. I love this man.

Luster: Dave and I traded comic books the first time I went to Comicon (when I lived in Santa Cruz). A year later, we traded comics again. I never read them though. One day Angele was sitting on my bed laughing her ass off at something and I was like "what is that?" and she was mad that I didn't bother to read his comics before. By then I was already living here. I never really read any comics then though. I just assumed that they were all lame. So I eventually read it a few months later and thought it was the best thing ever. We started talking over AIM a while later. Then I saw him again that summer at Comicon and I actually hung out with him a bit. He was rad and he ended up staying with us at Sarah's house. A month later he flew out here to visit for Angele's birthday party. He met Carla and they started hanging out and then he came back a few months later. Then I hung out with him and Amber for 2 weeks straight this summer and we drove all over California together. Now I need to go visit them. Dave is a bad ass.

Marcia: was married to Chad when I met her, who was friends with Julie, Glenn, and Amy who I lived with when I first got to DC. She drew comics too and we met up one day at the diner. Then one day she said she wished she had pictures of me getting raped. That's always really freaked me out, but I've always liked her. She's one of the people that I should hang out with more, but I never do.

Mark: and I taught a bunch of kids during the summer computer camp one summer. We're both jackasses and have no business whatsoever teaching kids. One day this kid's whole family showed up to see what he had been doing in camp all week. Mark was feeding them a bunch of bullshit about how well he was doing even though he and I both knew that we probably didn't even know their kid's name or which one he was. So after his bullshit speel, the kid shows them this animation that he had been working on as his mom, dad, sister, and grandmother watched. It was this little cartoon where this stick figure pops up and shoots this other stick figure in the face and then the headless one grows a huge penis and gizzes all over the other one's face. The father let out this horrified gasp and the mother covered the sister's eyes and Mark wrinkled up his eyebrows and stood there like his killoggs head looks and kinda didn't know what to say as the family left without saying anything. Then he grabbed me a dragged me into the kitchen and told me this story through a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

Mary: and I met on the campus bus one day. I used to ride that bus all over campus with no intention of ever getting off of it cos it was free. She served a huge vat of pudding to the crowd of a Southern Culture on the Skids show and we talked about it on the bus the next day. She lived down the block from me, but we never hung out. Then she saw me on the Metro up here one day and emailed me.

MattGoon: was wearing a Motley Crue shirt and had a soldier rag on when I met him in Molly's one night. I think I was with Joanna and we just fucked with each other all night. I hung out with him at his radio show on WTUL a few times and drank with him at the Club a few times when I lived there. He's part of the NOLA crew that I used roll with. I see him every time I go in town. I met up with him and Matt Buchert one summer in Berkeley too and we went to this shitty show at the Gilman.

Meredith: worked at KLSU when I did. Me and Josh went to her house one day and I played with her keyboard.

Michele: stepped in a hole and fell down while I laughed out loud and pointed at her from a balcony above. I think she flicked me off. Later that night I was at a Social Distortion show where this girl I was dating punched me in the lip and it was bleeding and I went outside and she was sitting on the curb and she pointed at my bloody lip and laughed out loud. I think I flicked her off.

Mike: was a photographer with us at student media at LSU too. He posted like 6 times and then fell off the face of the earth.

Milky: lived on the same floor as I did in the first dorm I lived in. I talked to him once about Pez dispensers and he let me borrow this book about them that he had. I saw him all over the place after that and he always talked about louge boarding (not sure how you spell that). We eventually started hanging out. He was always drinking milk. We'd go out and buy a bunch of beer and he'd buy beer and milk. One day me and Adam were sitting in Wendy's and I decided that he really needed a nickname. We thought about it for a few minutes and I ended up calling him Milky, which Adam laughed at and it eventually stuck.

Nathan: was out on Chimes Street in BR one night with Kristine taking pictures. I was there too. I had made this really stupid rubber band gun that shot bottle caps out of a wrapping paper tube. I shot him in the back of the head with it and he asked if he could take my picture. We ended up becoming good friends later and went on to do silly things like Deathwish and Tiergarten together. The most fun I've ever had with Nathan though was when we went to the Patch Adams farm in West Virginia together. I wrote this a few days after we got back from West Virginia. There's really a lot more to that story now that I'm looking back though. There were things happening I just couldn't write about when I wrote that. Now that he lives in New York, it really makes me want to move up there and start up the silly machine again.

Neal: also worked at KLSU when I did. He made more money that anyone else in student media apparently.

Pokey: and I have been talking now and then on AIM for the last year or so. She seems like fun. She should come visit us.

Rebecca: lived next door to me in Pentagon. I don't remember where I met her first. I remember sitting in high school and looking at this picture that my other friend Rebecca had that was one of those cheesy school dance pictures. She was in one of the pictures I saw, and I remembered it when I met her.

Reggie: and I worked together at Visions in DC when I first moved here. Reggie was a blast to work with. We took him down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras once. He moved up to Philly and now I'm really glad I finally got off my ass to draw his head. I hope he uses it.

Rick: My first encounter with Rick was when he, Josh, Bylly Hess, and I went to see the god aweful film "Hoodlum" together in BR. I remember being amazed at how much he seemed to know about anything and everything in general, but still seemed to make really ridiculous arguments about things. Rick cracks me up. I wish he hadn't moved away. He never hung out with us enough.

Rob: Apparently I drew Rob at some point. I have no recollection of when I did, but Josh insists that I drew him.

Rolyat: I met him outside of the Hot House on Vaccarro before it burned down. He was supposed to drive with us to Houston when I went there to see some show with Karrie and Anna (who I had also just met). I think it was Sweep the Leg Johnny, Rainer Maria, Braid, and the Promise Ring (bands I could have given a shit about but I thought Karrie was hot). A lot of people were at that show apparently, I think even Brad, Jared, and Arnie. I met Taylor again a few weeks ago when his band played at our house.

Sarah: worked at the yearbook in BR. Me and Josh used to hang out with her while she did the layouts. I've gotten to see her in San Diego the last two summers during Comicon, and she came and visited us earlier this year too.

Scott: was introduced to me by Loren the summer before last when we drove down to Comicon together. He sent me the best package anyone has ever sent me, by far. Scott kicks ass. I would like to hang out with him more.

Seth: and I taught summer camp all summer 3 summers ago. I've seen him for the last 2 summers though. He's quite brilliant. We made quite the teaching team, sleeping in the lab across folding chairs and setting up a trampoline everywhere we went.

Shelly: lived in King's Palace and I used to always crash on her couch. When I went to visit her a while back I just ended up sleeping on her couch the whole time. Before I met her, me and Jeff (Areone) used to call her "Indy Rock Girl" for some reason. I don't know why. I think I may have met her when she lived with Mariella. I'm not sure. Maybe she remembers. Whenever I think of Shelly, I think of her laughing uncontrollably. She should come visit us.

Sonny: lives with us. He took Josh and Angele to go smash TVs he was collecting behind his work with a crowbar. I saw picures and I was jealous. I think the first time I met him was in that shitty burrito place that he and Josh loved so much. I like living with Sonny.

Talice: I'm not sure when I met Talice. I think Sarah Smith introcuced me to her. I tried to call Sarah Smith the other day, but she never answered. Talice was in classes with me, and I saw her on the LSU campus now and then.

Teresa: worked at student media. We really only hung out at KLSU parties.

Wil: and I met one summer at Comicon when I offered to trade him copies of all my comics in exchange for a glossy 8x10 of himself with a hatemail message to my sister written on it. I saw him a year later, and he gave me a link to his website which me and Loren found hilarious, so I emailed him and asked him if he wanted a head. I guess I've seen him every summer since I met him too. I'm really glad I got to illustrate his book. I'm really proud of it and my mom likes it a whole lot.

Will: I think I met Will in the Chimes in BR one day. I think Craig and Josh were there too.

XMeredithX: Josh introduced me to her in Tryst one day. I think they had been talking to each other on AIM for a while.

Yvonne: was friends with Jeff (areone) when I met her. Her posts were and probably always will be my favorite posts on killoggs. I wish she'd come back.

Zach: lived with us when I moved back into the farm after summer camp 2 years ago. We've had some good times. Like when we were gutting the big stuffed pink bear and his glasses fell in the dumpter. That was funny. I used to call him Bodybag, and he still calls me Peepers cos I used to get mail from Playboy and Victoria's Secret catalogs addressed to Benjamin Peepers.

Zack: was with Talice one day in Louies and he gave me a comic. I forget what it was called (Patchwork girls?). I remember it was under the label "Cantina Press". I still have that thing somewhere. Zack had really long hair back then. I'm glad I've gotten to know him better since then, and I'm really happy with his Studygroup comics. Zack is also a bad ass.

So yeah, I guess I've met everyone but Boudet, Ed, and Meenk.

And by the way, this took me about 4 hours to write....

I have plans to draw at least 15 more heads sooner or later. I know it takes me forever, and I apologize, but I will eventually get around to it.

So now it's your turn. Who's met who and where?

    I don't pick on you! It was more like encouragement through verbal abuse. ļ You made it so easy. Plus, I heard from another Killogger that someone picked on you so bad once, you almost cried. I felt bad for you.

    FYI - I don't pick on sensitive people.

Actually Ben, your history is not entirely true. I met you at the big rue de la course one night while you were hanging out with Nathan. I was in law school and we had a conversation about intellectual property issues after you informed me that you were an artist. However, I did also see you at the christmas party. I was insanely drunk (what else is new) and with my friend Brent (Charles) Jensen. He is now a mister big-pants director in los angeles. You can see some of his work here: www.afewmilesnorth.com.
I don't know how to make that a link.
Bibbly's killoggs tree to come later.

I agree with Josh. This was a fantastic post. Thanks, Ben!

Oh, and I haven't met any heads yet, but will next Saturday. I'm excited about that!

My most prominent early memory of Ben (not the earliest) was of going to his dorm room to watch The Conformist for an AVA class. Jenny was there and it was the first time I had ever met her. Ben and I tried to watch the movie while Jenny angrily flipped through Ben's issues of playboy. Jenny scowled a lot but Ben just kept on smiling like everything was great. I didn't know what to think of Jenny then, but we had art classes together later and I found at what a great artist and person she is.

You remember "Hoodlum?!?!?" Oh, man that film had been in remission inside of me.

But all my arguments are fair and balanced and are never put forth just for the sake of arguing and I actually believe in all of them ;P

    And yes, Clay's house was likely messier than yours. It was the second messiest home I have ever been to ( and I guess I should be ashamed because I lived in it for two odd years).
rick [email] said at 3:57 PM 10-08-2003:
Josh: I met him in ninth grade. He tried to get me to play GURPS with him ( which I eventually did and was fun).

Ben: I could not remember when I met him until today. I know I bumped into you at least a few times on Chimes or Highland.

Abby: I met her at Angele's birthday party last year when she informed me that Sonny was going to kick my ass. Which he did.

Adam: I must have met through Josh. I cannot remember.

Amy: We have yet to meet.

Andrew: I must have met through Josh though I once again cannot remember.

Andy: I met I think at a SEAC meeting in which he got up to talk about Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Angele: I met her through someone who I went to high school with who was living with her at the time.

AnotherBen: I met him at Mary's house for the Formal Forty. I am sure though I saw him at least a few times in the Union.

Areone: I met him at his apartment in the shadow of Kirby Smith. I was very scared of him at first.

Arnie: I think I met him at his and Nathan's and Cricket's crib though mostly what I remember from there is reading a book about the New Kids On The Block.

Boudet: I met at the Red Star with Jeff and Josh in April.

Brad: I do not know where I met this lad.

Brandon: I went to high school with but he was in a grade ahead of me though he got an article written about him and his experiences as a radio D.J. at the school radio station in the school paper.

BrandonA: I do not believe I have met

BrianBibbly: He claims to have met me before I met him last March but I cannot remember and I think I would remember meeting Bibbly.

Buzz: I have not met Buzz.

Carla: I met in Baltimore at this seedy bar where I got drunk at. She thought I was gay at first.

Cecil: I have not met Cecil but thought at first I did.

Chris X: I met at his house where he showed me a film about a man where a monstrously swollen sac. He makes good hamburgers.

Clay: I met Clay in middle school. I ate lunch sometimes with him in high school. I thought he was gay the whole time. He is a good guy though. Except for that time he gave my mayonaise which he said was ice cream and I put a big spoonful in my mouth.

Colin: Ok, I have not met him either. If your name does not appear it is because I have not met you. It is not an ommission.

Craig: I met at an art show at LSU. If I recall, he actually recognized me by resemblance to my head.

Cricket: I met her in D.C. which is odd because she lived with Nathan for a while. I know she was at the New Year's Party that I got really drunk and passed out in Andy's bed at.

Dianne: I met her at Angele's birthday party last September. She asked me about prison rape. Then I ate breakfast with her and Mary at Woodside the next day. One day I need to taker her to the Angola Rodeo.

Erica: I met in Baltimore the same day I met Kara and Carla.

Evan: I met him I think at his apartment where I watched him and Josh play Tony Hawk. His "tongue-and-beaver" gag made me laugh very hard.

Gen: I saw all the time and noticed because she looked like a woman I used to carpool with. Later I picked her up at the D.C. bus station.

Heather: Where would I be without Heather? I shudder to think of an answer.

Huddo: I met him with Josh and someone who will not be named one night. I went through his wallet and that angered him. "That's two strikes," he told me.

Jad: I met Jad through one of Heather's roommates.

Jared: I met through Josh. He seemed like a little emo doll to me.

Jeff: I met him at the Josh/Evan/Andy's birthday party. I recognized him from his head.

Jenny: I met her and her cousin on her birthday which I attended with Josh at Koto's.

Kara: I met in Baltimore. I thought she was suspicious of me. But then again, I think I would be suspicious of me too.

Kaycee: I used to see all the time at LSU.

Kevin: I met at Mary's house for the Formal Forty.

Kiche: I walked up to in the library one day. I knew who he was before and I had even had a conversation with him once but I had never been formally introduced to the Kiche.

Laura: I think I met at summer school in 1992. It was a computer class at sUniversity High.

Linus: I met in the Reveille office, through Josh.

Luster: I met the day of Angele's birthday last fall. Then I saw him again this last December.

Mary: I met her when she called me one day in May of 2001. I ate lunch with her at the Chimes. She also thought I was gay.

Meredith: I met when she came to Nathan's party and tried to drown Josh in a swimming pool.

Milky: I think I met in the Quadrangle. Two women who I at one time had crushes on, had crushes on him.

Nathan: I met at Heather's coming home party in 1993, I believe. He had a big, brown afro then. I sported a coupe penis, to use Quebecois parlance, at the time

Rolyat: I met in Fall 2000 but I cannot remember when.

Shelly: I met her through a class mate a couple of years ago. She says she used to hang out at Insomkneeacks but I do not remember her there. But what I do not remember, I could write a book about.

Sonny: I met him at Angele's birthday party last fall. I was scared of him but he really is a gentleman. One day, I shall best him at wrasslin'

Talice: She went to my high school and dated Josh at one time.

Teresa: I met through Meredith.

Will: I met him through Boy Scouts.

XMeredithX: I met her at Angele's birthday party last fall.

Yvonne: I met through Josh at this party. I have seen her a few times since then. She always amuses me.

Zack: I met him at the comic convention the day of Angele's birthday party last fall.

    shelly [email] said at 5:25 PM 10-08-2003:
    Adam I met because my friend dated one of his roommates. We’d hang out in his room at Kirby Smith that he shared with Dave, Barham, and Joseph and Milky even though I think those two actually lived somewhere else. I remember the room being full of pizza boxes, beer cans, and cigarette butts and I think we were always in there past visiting hours. I think we hung out in New Orleans a few times with Rebecca. Adam didn’t talk as loud as those other guys so I didn’t get to know him too much but he also played in Death Wish which was one of the featured acts at DayFest. It was also the act which resulted in the cops being called by the neighbors.

    Andrew, I saw all over campus. Everyone seemed to know him but he didn’t talk to me much and I didn’t talk much, so we didn’t talk much. I saw Plans That Fail a few times. Somehow our paths didn’t even cross in the art department, which is kind of too bad.

    Angele showed up in a blue hoodie with Ben to Jacob’s apartment that had the Jonathan Taylor Thomas peephole and furniture stacked to the ceiling and no bathroom door. Most of my contact with Angele has been virtual, though Ben sure talked about her a lot.

    Anotherben lived in that frightening north gate apartment complex on Nicholson where SWAT teams were a regular part of life. I change my mind repeatedly about whether our paths crossed during that time.

    Ben(dependent) showed up introduced by the same friend that introduced me to Adam, and Joseph, and Milky. One of the first couple of times I met him he told me he’d followed me around for a whole day before he met me. We’d run around town late at night then fall asleep on my couch talking and sleep through our classes. We went through a Taco Bell drive through wearing Halloween masks in his child molester van. That seems like a poor idea in retrospect.

    Brad was introduced to me by Ben. I got to know him a bit better when Ben and Brad came to visit Seattle.They had the heaviest luggage I’ve ever encountered. We took a limo from the greyhound station back to my apartment. Brad had a lot of toiletries and seemed very well groomed. He kept using all the hot water. Brad would make me laugh about things till I forgot why I was laughing. Then that seemed even more hilarious.

    Craig and I briefly went to the same high school, but didn’t really know each other. Then I ran into him in art classes in college. He lived next to some of my friends in Garig Hall. He played Beautiful People over and over really loud. We were opponents in the Leway “Professional” Wrestling match behind the Library (Joe’s.) (I won, of course.)We both showed up at the Halloween block party the same year dressed as Medusa. It seems as if several of these events were recorded on film, but I have no copies.

    Cricket seemed to always be involved in the cool stuff happening on Chimes Street though I knew her by sight, I didn’t get to know her.

    Evan and I may have met before I went back to BR to visit because I remember being surprised that he had a beard. But maybe I’d just seen him around and heard about him a bunch. I owe him a zine.

    Gen and Jad were folks I recognized from the Pentagon, and I’d probably been introduced to a some point or another, but I didn’t really know either.

    Heather was introduced to me by Nathan. For some reason I kept trying to call her other names, like Jennifer or Michelle, and I still feel bad about it. She blew soap bubbles with me inside my apartment. We spent a long time talking about masks and carnival celebrations.

    Jared, if he is the same one I remember, gave me free food from Le Madeleine then told me gross stories about it. We hung out once or twice and he was the instigator in an event which started at Deanna’s house and somehow resulted with me in clownface on Chimes St. (which Josh photographed.) I think other people also had my lipsticks on various inappropriate areas, but it wasn’t put there by me.

    Jenny was in my opinion making some of the best stuff in the sculpture department. I don’t remember if I met her before or after the Jenny Hates Me campaign which included tshirts and dolls and I don’t remember if I met her on my own or though Ben. I went to a slumber party at her apartment where I think we trash talked several BR romeos. I was really envious of the cool house she had with Mary and Erin. I’m glad she resurfaced so I can see what cool stuff she’s working on these days.

    Jon was introduced to me one time in New Orleans when I was hanging out with Ben. I think I dropped him off to his job as a bus boy at Commander’s?

    Josh was one of the people I’d see around all the time until I met him through Ben. Josh always had the coolest gear, was fun to argue with about movies, and always had a camera attached to his face.

    Kaycee and I had a class together somewhere. She was one of the famous faces, mostly cause of her Louie’s tenure, I’m guessing.

    Kiche was ubiquitous. The pirate radio station in the dorms, the Pentagon, every keg party ever held…I think I met him at one of Big Al’s Pentagon keggers where the keg was moved into a tree in the Enchanted Forest to avoid RA’s shutting it down. Then he moved downstairs in King’s Palace and chalk drawings and rants started appearing on all the walls and doors. It was also around that time that the apartment became infested with rats in addition to the roaches, though I don’t really hold him directly responsible for that. Apparently my sister walked really loudly in retaliation. I have a really great picture of Kiche and Ben taken by Tony (one of the Rockabilly Communists) at the formal dress cocktail party I held in that apartment.

    Linus had the best newspaper name. I was familiar with it from being all over the Reveille but I don’t think I ever met him though I’m pretty sure we were at some of the same parties.

    Mary will be here soon! We’ve had a lot of small world near misses up until now.

    Michele was in Chris’s apartment in the Nicholson death trap when I was briefly drawn back to BR’s sickly sweet death embrace. I think that was the first and only time I met her and it was the same day I met Rick.

    Milky met and forgot me in times we’d both prefer to forget. Reaccquainted, the postcard trade has never seen better times.

    Nathan and I silk screened Tshirts together for the Happy Puppets of Heartbreak show behind Library. Joe’s, where the adult theme puppet show opened for Party of Helicopters. I don’t remember if that was before or after Death Wish, Teirgarten, DayFest, Insomkneeaks 24 hours festival with the pickup full of water and the van smashing, and the wrestling matches. I think there were some random events in between. Nathan also threw extremely hot popcorn onto me at Ben’s eviction party where I was dressed as Marie Antoinette.Nathan gets away with things because he looks innocent and is ridiculously smart.

    Rick and I argued about things on Killoggs and met later after several book exchanges in the mail. We ate at the Chimes, crashed at Chris’s. I taught Rick about riding a bike in a skirt, and he and Evan told me about things like the donkey punch. Josh took pictures of me laughing uncontrollably.

    Scott emailed me cause he was going to be in Seattle. I made a sign of our heads so I could find him at the Indian restaurant where we met. Then I took him to see Mars Accelerator and Kinski and introduced him to 5 of my other friends who’d never met each other before. Confusion ensued. Scott graciously drove my drunken entourage home. We in turn introduced him to Dick’s burgers. I enjoy discussing B- and C movies and music and vintage fashion with Scott.

    Talice always seemed to be involved in something cool, though I don’t think we ever met too formally either, we had the recognizing each other nod around campus after a class together. I’d go see Liquidrone a bunch.

    Yvonne was at a party I held. I’m sure of it. She denies this. She was a guest of Anh. We blew bubbles over the air conditioner vent which was also the second time I met Heather. Yvonne told me (on IM) that if the person I remember was her, we’d have been blowing cocks instead of bubbles.

wow. even though a) with few exceptions most of you fall into the categories "don't know", "could recognize on sight but have never spoken to" and; b) i generally drift through life touching no one and asking no one to touch me (figurative meaning only - there's always the hookers); and c) i rarely post on killoggs ...
nevertheless I feel compelled to do this, if only to contribute the point of view of the socially phobic drifter. so,

amy - I have vague recollections of the LSU photo lab and a conversation about kundera, all triggered only by a recently posted photo on killoggs, so possibly a totally different person.
angele - I only know from her visitations of ben at the Gumbo, and Josh's birthday at the Bayou some year.
ben - Student media, but before that, that guy I always saw around the pentagon quik-e-mart when I lived in kirby. i always wondered what was his deal?
brad - I know only through stu media and/or josh.
brandon - one time acquaintance through mutual classes and stu media, later bearer of bitter enmity towards my person, according to an unreliable source, also likely the creator out of whole cloth 95% of said enmity. but I digress...
carla - I do not know (to my dismay)
craig - never met but will describe to the sketch artist when asked
cricket - movement class I think, other theater things which I do not remember. later I made an unsuccessful bid to get her on as a photographer at the reveille, but the bosses were morons
emily - I think I met once at Mardi Gras.
evan - never knew 'im
gen - knew through maia of the gumbo
jeff - knew first through references of adam polito, don't think I've ever actually met (a consistent theme)
josh - student media conference - got bile?
kaycee - first knew from multiple appearances in reveille as judy garland, under my watch
kiche - never met, but strangely enough, remember from Gumbo appearances long before killoggs (circa 96?), probably due to his real name being even more memorable than kiche.
laura - intro to photo, stu media, her boyfriend at the time worked at showbiz and I got him to fix some fees
linus - responsible for sucking me into stu media, before that, the guy that broke veatch's piano, before that, i'm told because I have no recollection, some guy at gifted and talented summer camp at SLU around fifth grade
loren - don't know, but do recall a james miremont of LSU computing services speaking of a loren often
mary - louie's waitress, brandon. i once was involved in hiding a note at a louie's table reading "If your waitress is Mary, watch for poison" all in good fun
mike - reveille, probably the most consistently good work of the 15 or so photogs that passed through while I was there
milky - I don't remember specifically meeting, just sort of knew him at some point
neal - stu media only, didn't know
rick - I could pick out of a line up, but why, i don't know, probably josh
sarah - stu media
shelly - don't think so, but I've wondered...
teresa - the reveille
wil - many nights imagined that the pillow was actually him, but alas never truly met
zack - kinko's guy

      I certainly never harbored any ill-will, and any particular events (for instance, an apartment around carlotta) that may have seemed like acts of malice on my part were totally out of my sphere of causality and/or control. My sincerest apologies for any part which I did play.

gen [email] said at 12:41 AM 10-09-2003:
This should be short. I really don't know very many of you.

Adam I don't know Adam. I saw him around the Pentagon. I almost went to one of his show once.

Andrew Andrew, Mariela and I were on the LSU Films Committee together my Freshman year. And he lived in Pentagon.

Angele I met Angele at the Bayou one night, shortly after I had returned from studying in London.

Ben It was late one night during my freshman year and I was sitting in Nathan Mische's car in the Pentagon parking lot - we were on our way to Nick's in N.O. - when Ben walked by and started telling Mar (Nathan's then girlfriend, also sitting in the car) about getting caught doing some graffiti on a train. And it just went downhill from there - I had the biggest on again / off again crush on Ben for my first 2.5 years at LSU, but he was too busy with Jenny (etc) to pay any attention. Then, when I got back from London he was with Angele, and I just gave up. It's very funny that Ben would even mention the cooking - we cooked pizza together ONCE - the night we were initially supposed to cook together he spent in jail and I ate 1/4 of the pizza crust and toppings, and the next day he brought Crackhead Chris and Jeff Gearheart along to cook the remainder of the pizza, and I remember that cooking experience as one of the worst nights of my life.

BrandonA I went to his St. Patricks Day toga party my senior year, back when Maia was involved with student media.

Craig I know Craig from the Pentagon days. I watched "The Doom Generation" at his place one night, and then he told me about the hit-and-run incident, and it freaked me out.

Cricket Cricket was in my freshman honours English class - I remember her because she explained the origin of her name. Later I saw her around the MD&A building a lot when I was working the box office.

Jad is probably the person on Killoggs that I know best. I don't remember how I met Jad, but I started hanging out with him my sophomore year, right about when I started my e honeymoon. He was there for me when I lost my State Palace ticket money and he put me on the guest list, and I was there for him later the next morning when his set got cancelled, and he went bitching after the manager.

Josh One day my Freshman year this guy named Billy Hess whom I vaguely knew through Joe Alfone was riding his bike on University as I was waiting for the bus. He struck up a conversation mourning the loss of his girlfriend, and invited himself along on my grocery run. Three or four hours later Josh picked us up from the AppleBee's (next to Albertson's) and drove us back to campus. He played some Bikini Kill on his car radio. Then I saw Josh again my senior year, when I went to the Gumbo office to hang out with Ben. That's also the night that Ben asked me to be his agent - and I never did figure out what possessed him to do that.

Kiche I know Kiche from Pentagon and parties involving French Joseph.

Mary Mary was this stranger on Killoggs, and one day she decided she wanted to visit Montreal, and a few weeks later, she was here.

Milky I met Milky the first time I hung out in Ben's room (checking out comics and stuff). Milky kept silently mouthing stuff at Ben, and making faces when he thought I wasn't looking, and he just annoyed me.

Michele I think that I first knew Michele from Stevie and Erica. Stevie and Erica lived across the hall from me in Taylor and Michele was over there a lot.

Nathan K I met Nathan K my first semester at LSU - he was in my freshman calculus class. He introduced himself one day, and gave me some stickers he had made. As we were walking out of the building he saw a tow truck taking away his car away and dashed off.

Rick, Kara, Carla, Brad, and Sonny I briefly met during my very short trip to DC on Brad and Sonny's (and my) birthday.

    LOL. I was lying in bed when I realized that had written the MD&A building instead of "the M&DA building". I actually said it out loud, and the funniest Freudian slip immediately became apparent to me - MD'n'A is damn close to MDMA - which is what I must have had on the brain.

    And I take back what I said about Jad being the person I know best on Killoggs. Ben is probably the person I know best on Killoggs.

    lol...God, you're so conceited! I was one of the only people to say something to Areone when he said you were an ugly one, I told him he was wrong.

    You're just ugly inside.

      I was one of the only people to say something to Areone when he said you were an ugly one, I told him he was wrong. I am an ugly one. I'm not blind to that. People have been telling me so since high school. I have an asymmetrical, ugly face, and a wide and short torso - I actually thought I had a mild form of Turner's syndrome for a while. Hell, the secretary to my graduate department - an old British hag - told me I looked like one of the original Pilgrims. I know I'm ugly, or at least that a large proportion of the population thinks that I'm ugly. But life goes on for us ugly people too.

      I don't talk (or gesture) about people in their presence as if they're not there. I thought you were patronizing, and slightly misogynistic. Like when I had that party in my dorm room later that freshman year and I was on my second cran-vodka and you came up to me as I was talking to Nathan K outside and told me "I think you should slow down." I mean, who the fuck were you - this distant acquaintance - to tell me what to do? If I want to get drunk and throw up it's my fucking prerogative as an immature, inexperienced, but autonomous and independent 19 year-old.

        I have no idea what you've concocted in your head about what you think was the first time I met you.

        When I was hanging around Ben, we made all sorts of silly faces and gestures for no reason other than to make each other laugh.

        I was telling you to slow down because, in case you didn't know, LSU is notorious for drunken date rapes.

        I've tried to get on the good foot with you, I took up for you at LSU even when it wasn't popular to do so and I was friends with your best friend Mariela my freshman year, who incidentally, never had a problem with me.

        I've grown up. I'm not in med school, but I've moved on with life. My life isn't the center of the universe. It revolves around the people in my life and how we all interact.

        The best thing you could do is possibly just not say anything when a negative thing comes to mind first. I don't always do that, it is just advice I try to live by, no matter how hard it is for me.

        You seem to be stuck living in some sort of past, and I'm sorry. I was immature and probably misogynistic my second year of college. I can't say I know anyone who was born an adult. Having said that, now that I am an adult, I try very hard to conduct myself as such.

        Did Ben and I act retarded around each other? Of course. If we didn't, we probably wouldn't have ever clicked.

I started my list yesterday but work called and still calls... Maybe later today.
milky [email] said at 10:55 AM 10-09-2003:
Hmm, how did I meet everyone? I'll give it a shot.

Adam This is kind of funny. I had an ex-gf who wasn't really an ex at that point. Some guy in Kirby who eventually dated a girl named Nova who worked at Gatti's pointed him out and said "That guy is seeing your girl." Adam had these really cool Airwalks that were styled after bowling shoes. I said hello, he showed me his room and pretty soon I was hanging out with him all the time.

Amy was in my symbolic logic class that I dropped and she dated a friend of mine from my hometown at LSMSA. Later on, she bit me on the neck, but it was in good fun. I thought that was neat.

Andrew I know I saw him around and maybe said hello or gave him a nod maybe but I can't remember anything else.

Anotherben I met through LSMSA people. I went on some trip to Kiln and got inebriated to the most pathetic point. It was bad. I think either Ben or Gary took a shot of booze, watched me guzzle, and decided that alcohol consumption was a bad idea. And for good reason. We have a shared friend from my hometown and he always kept me updated. Too many other stories involving Gary M.

Areone I met him through Ben. The first time I met him, we talked about graf for a really long time. I kept telling him he should piece but he said he wasn't going to. I was happy when he finally did. He was pretty nice to me.

Ben I met him in Kirby. We had some fun times hanging out. I dunno if he remembers or not. They're fond memories. We cruised around in my Lego block car a few times. Like Adam, it seems like he was always around. He gave me a really cool fedora.

Brad I met through Randy, I think. We got stuck on game day buying a pizza outside of campus. He was really funny. We met an interesting lady at some eyewear place while killing time for the pizza.

Brandon I always saw him at Highland Coffees. One day, during the summer, he asked me if I wanted to work at KLSU, I think because of the demo-mixtape I turned in six months earlier when I lived on Ned Drive. He helped me stay employed at KLSU as well.

BrandonA In the Quad. I bummed too many cigarettes from him and we would have friendly conversation. He always had a camera.

Carla Is owed a mixtape. I haven't met her.

Craig Through mutual friends. I knew he knew Kiche and hung out with Judy. We hung out at Highland Coffees with other people. One time he came to the dump me and Kiche were staying in on Azalea. I remember it was pretty cool. We all got beer and watched 'Don King: Only in America.'

Courtney I've never met, but we exchange mail. And that's pretty cool.

Cricket I met through Ben. I was pretty annoying the night I met her, over a mutual friend we had from my hometown. In hindsight, I should have just avoided the mutal friend altogether and everything would have been much better. I like to send Cricket mail, but I don't know where to send it now.

Ed I talked to Ed on the phone before I did the proposal. I was nervous. Ed rocks. I get to meet him next weekend.

Evan I knew of him and he hung out with mutal friends, but I guess what I remember most is when he gave me a ride home when I got stuck in the rain and didn't have a license. That means a lot. That day was one of the worse days of my life and he helped out someone who could be considered a complete stranger.

Gen Hung out with Ben and the rest of the people in the Pentagon. She had a cool room. I've never seen anyone paint a dorm room and make it look like something other than institutional living.

Heather I met through Nathan at Highland Coffees.

Jad I met through Kiche and some other peopel. He gave me a few impromptu DJ lessons and we would talk shop.

Jeff I met this summer. I may have met him before but between the both of us, we're drawing a blank. He's very hospitable.

Josh I'm pretty sure I met him through Ben. Josh was sorta always around. We ran in the same social circles but we didn't hang out much. Just short, brief conversation. The most time I spent with him is when he helped me make some music.

Kara I was supposed to meet in 2001. It didn't happen although she sent me mail in BR and SA. Which really rocks.

Kaycee I ran into her on campus but I don't remember when or for how long we ever talked. She was a whirlwind of activity. And I owe her mail.

Kiche Lived with a friend from my hometown, Demond, in the dorms. He says I was jibber jabbering about obscure music really trying to make conversation the first time I met him. I'd seen him around and he dressed pretty cool. When I started hanging out in the Pentagon, we became really good friends. The first time I really hung out with him, we got drunk with Beryl. Or something obnoxious like that. He let me sleep on a beanbag in his dorm when I was between apartments. His Milk puppet was something else.

Laura I met at LSMSA when I visited. I even have a picture! (before I was escorted out of said cafeteria). When I ran into her at KLSU, she produced my cart and without her, it woulda sucked. Suckity-suck sucked.

Linus I met through student media. He let me keep my job.

Luster gets mail from me and I never met him. Dang.

Mary gently removed me from Louie's many nights. 'Preciate it. I got to know her better through Killoggs.

Meredith I met at KLSU. That's about it. I talked to her on the phone one time at Jeff's for 5 mins or less.

Michele I met when I had a one, something, with her friend at the time who I can't remember. Then she was upstairs neighbors with Kiche! Yay!

Mike Lived in McVoy and I met him my freshman year. I used to take pics with a crappy camera that year and I have one of him flipping me off. I think I annoyed people with that camera.

Nathan was rail-thin when I met him through Adam. Now he's all muscular. I'm glad I ran into him this summer.

Neal I met through KLSU. Daaammnnn!

Pokey I've never met but I found her online and I send her mail. Pokey is one of my heroes.

Rick I met inna Quad and had lunch with him and Isral. But I met him inna Quad first.

Sarah is special. I met her in 96 or 97. I met her at Louie's through a friend from back home. Turns out we knew most of the same people and she even lived in my hometown.

Scott I have never met and he may or may not have gotten mail from me. I hope he has. I can't remember because I can't match the heads to addresses too well sometimes.

Shelly I met at LSU. I can only remember a few things. I think it's her eyes. But since Killoggs, we've become pen pals. Killoggs works.

Sonny I want to meet and I've sent mail to and I want to ask him a bunch of deep questions but I can never seen to get them out or send them.

Talice I met at LSU. And I saw her in Lafayette where I met Zack. Or vice versa.

Teresa I met at KLSU and immediately asked Brandon if he could get me a date with her. I'm clueless.

xMeredithx I met her in the NOLA airport, completely by chance. Or was it?

Will I met at LSU. Help me jog my memory, Will.

Zack Met through Talice, I think or at Cafe 101. I dug his comics. He co-hosted the Calcium Channel and well, we had mutual friends but we didn't really start hanging out until it was almost time for me to move. That sucks.

          milky [email] said at 11:14 AM 10-10-2003:
          franks. i met him because he decided to drink all the beer in kiche's dorm room (it was bizarre) and i eventually had to keep him from getting his ass kicked at the spanish moon. actually, he almost got beat up a bunch when we hung out. i had a psych of counseling class with him. never drove. had a car, said he didn't want to waste gas, so you either walked or drove.

          the last contact I had with franks...think was in 98 or 99. he was still a moocher. asked me if i could dub albums for him. i didn't really respond. nice guy, but a cheap leech. dunno what he's doing now, but if he stayed trying to get into film, his cheap ways might help.

          i wonder if he still rocks the same cheap clothes.

            I met matt franks at LSMSA.. he wasn't in school there, but he hung out with us kids.. we did lots of drugs and talked subgenius shit.. He's the guy who first played "the Janor Device" for me. One of the funniest things I've ever heard.. I later met Janor Hypercletes through another friend.
