Wow.

You just lost any cred you have ever had or ever might have had in the future.
Aye, but wherever you go or whatever you do, you know he will be right here waiting for you.

I said "older" guilty pleasures. I don't listen to him anymore…it's been years since Repeat Offender has been in my cd player.

I was an English Major, hence the shitty non-descript job. But I knew tons of Elliot school folk. One of my long-time roomies you may know, Mike Zolandz? He and I don't talk anymore, which you might understand if you knew him.

If my roommate played Richard Marx I wouldn't talk to him anymore either.

English majors rule. Give it time, you'll start changing the world (or at least doing something you like) any day now. You laid the foundation for….anything.

I, myself, 'change the world' through energy policy work, which sounds dry but I think kicks ass. Not as cool as being a novelist or a journalist, but I write a lot and like the community I work within.

I was born in Jersey, but really grew up in Florida (my formative years in Clearwater, alas). I'm fine with FL, but have always been northeast-inclined. I left for college up north and never looked back. Turns out, though, that I'm really a D.C. girl! I've been here almost 14 years, *after* college (I'm 36 now – but I prefer to say "mid-30s"). So, I started my 9:30 Club routine in 1990, at the old smelly Club!

I was a radio dj four years in school, but of course that's not a hard gig to get, but it got me used to listening and sampling lots of music. I've always been a power pop/guitar indie rock kinda girl, with early leanings into brit alternative classics.

I love DC, especially the music scene as nearly *everybody* comes through. Yeah, the indie audiences could lighten up a bit and show some more enthusiasm, but I don't let it get me down.

Single and should be looking, plan to always live in the city, drive around in a RED car, and am pretty damn loud and raucus in 'live' settings.

You're next.

I'm Fico, thats my name and it's short for Francisco. I am a real version of "Fez" from that 70s show. I came to DC via Santo Domingo, I'm half Dominican/half PuertoRican…came to Georgetown grad school and stayed working, looking for a change now. I am in the best rock band in DC although we're yet to find a singer… I've met many of the regulars and they're alright.. as of now I'm just horney and getting ready to conquer the world, how, I don't know…

ps: jadetree dumped me for a GBV voices cd and a trucker hat… she's a ho'..jejejeje

I've been off my steed for a couple months while I train for the MC marathon. But when that's over in a couple of weeks, I'll have to head your way. I've only been to Patapsco once and that was a few years ago.

Hey, BTW, for you Arlington hipsters, Exit Clov is playing at Iota tomorrow night. Cheap Thursday on the town with some good tunes. Just an idea…

And for you newbies…the address is www.extclov.com

Notice Mankie, some new stuff to the site. I mention this cause you have commented before on it.
