1. I met Omar when my brother Shane, who is a drummer was auditioning for his band. I met Ben through a photographer friend our the bands and my family, Mark Weiss. And I met Mike and Dan through a girl that I met on the train to work. Friends of friends is usually the way to go, make sure people aren't assholes, although, that still isn't fool proof. =)
2. Yes. I got really lucky. I didn't think I'd be able to find someone whos company I enjoyed as much as Kris, he was a real friend and I misss him. But Ben f**king great. He plays great and he's a great guy, I can't help but thing Kris helped in some small way. And I'm really not the kind of person who thinks thoughts like that.
3. Yes, my second season just started and I'm already bruised and banged up and loving it!
Your Bud,
