I went over there some for their practice and they always played local shows. Anyways, I knew all the guys in the band since we all went to school together for years. A couple of years ago I was home and with some friend's down in the bar disctrict of town. I hear this really drunken "Jeeeeeeeeeeenn" and look over and there is their bassist, chillin on a brick wall, drunk as could be. He just laughs and says "Not doing to good with the straight edge thing these days". We had a good laugh and talked about the good old days. Funny how much we change.
One of the bands I grew up with, Stretch Armstong, seems to be doing okay and is still together. I see their name on something every once in a while and just giggle a little because of how long ago I saw those guys playing in tiny clubs. Their old guitarist ran the best radio show ever in the history of WUSC.
