Okay, Exiteers, fess up: List as many names as you can remember from the good ol' days at the Center of the Universe, and i'm sure we'll find some crossover. And introduce yourself. This will be a bit redundant from the Vaguely Recognize discussion, but what the hell. If anyone knows where these people are, invite them to the posible summer Gassworks reunion BBQ mentioned in the Reunion discussion. This isn't who you hung out with necessarily, just who you remember. But it will be telling! Okay, here's my contribution:

Howie Cohen, his friend Kate, Yannos Matthesien, (sp) and his bro Lav, (their Mom is Maeve), Jenny Schleeps (sp), Noah Ackerman (poor guy, that bike wreck really changed him) Liz Evans (went to culinary school) Neil Crummit, and his sister Tracy (their mom hung herself after failing as a writer), Denise Adlum, Kye (both had kids), the Hatch brothers, Heather Hobson (redhead, 11-day party), Cory Potts (I dated briefly), Eve Higgins (the old woman tarot reader who was truly psychic), Eddie Walker, Pilgrim, Ralph Ralph and other obvious mainstays, John Dowd (PBJ king, appeared in a photo with Ram Das and Timothy Leary), "Seagul" (who went to jail for a while i think), Damon Gayden, Curtis Murray, aka Leggo T Schmeg (selling crack on capitol hill last i heard), Mishka (Sean says he was touring with Edie Brickell!) And Amani of course. (Hi!) There are many others who's names escape me right now, sorry.

Now. Who Remembers Kathy Leavy? Lived in a loft next to the Smith Tower, and died there from a heroin OD. It was a week before they kicked in her door. Played Cello. I was at her funeral service. The minister implied that she hadn't repented for her sins. Her conservative christian parents blamed all us heathen druggies for her death. Personally, i had no idea she was even using. Anybody else remember this?

I sometimes went by the unfortunate moniker of "Fluff". I was there about '86 until the move. Lived in the Bat Cave, across the street from Safeway on 50th and Roosevelt, until it burned to the ground. Worked as a dishwasher for a while, had my share of crazy learning experiences, but mostly good fun. I Got a job in AK, then went to Evergreen for 5 yrs. Now in Eugene, OR at U.O. for grad school in architecture. Returning to Puget Sound soon.

Your turn...
