Great story, BTW. I spent four years in Athens for school and never ran into Rock Star X. And I agree, New Adventures in Hi Fi is a great album.

I once worked in a theatre restaurant with an entire cast of gay guys and my boyfriend at the time was a source of great joy to all of them. He took it all in his stride and although he maintained he would 'deck' any one of them if they ever 'made a move', I saw no such response when one of them kissed him one New Year's Eve. No, what I saw instead was white faced fear. Speaking of which.....it's going to be OK. Really!! I can point you towards the unemployment office :-D <em>arizaphale's last blog post..<a href='http://arizaphale.blogspot.com/2008/04/for-those-who-love-learning.html' rel="nofollow">For Those Who Love Learning</a></em> Backs to the wall boys!!!

You are going to help speed the process up of Jessica getting a new camera of her own (though I may need your wife to barter for us since we both are terrible at it). As for the story, it is a good one. I have always loved REM. Their music reminds me of my college days. I am glad to hear the Rockstar X is that type of guy. <em>Jeff Keith's last blog post..<a href='http://echoesineternity.typepad.com/echoes/2008/04/highlights-hawa.html' rel="nofollow">2007 Highlights: Hawaii Meets the Juggernaut</a></em> Chris,
