I've been finding many many old friends from the LSU days through Facebook. It's a bit exciting.If I'm sure of one thing, it's that I had some amazing friends over the years and they've all grown into pretty cool adults.It's pretty crazy to skip over 15 or 20 years of a person's life drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-69086065608522312662008-11-07T17:03:00.000-06:002008-11-07T17:13:31.768-06:00Dear San Francisco (and surrounding areas),I love you dearly. I've been so many times and had such an amazing time each time I've visited. I truly believe you're a king among cities. The shopping (one of my great loves), the people, the views, the culture, the food.... all beautiful in their own ways.I've been to several of your great restaurants and I'm so looking forward some day to drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-60919346915627096042008-08-31T10:42:00.000-05:002008-08-31T11:23:50.978-05:00So, we are well fortified for the next few days... lots of canned tuna and such, wine, batteries, flashlights, candles, bottled water, propane, etc etc.'We're bunkering down with me, my partner Don and his mother. There are also two dogs and two cats. I refer to the cat that belongs to Don's mother as 'the evil orange beast.'

And old college friend, Jill Hackney, who is an amazing artist. She paints wonderful pictures that are abstract, yet not abstract at all of fruit.

Obviously, I came out (mostly) in the 80s. When I went away to college at LSU, I was urged to become active in the Baptist Student Union. So, I did.The first year or so of college was taken up by activities with the people I met there.

It's a remix of The Unacceptable Face of Freedom by Test Dept. It came out around 1986 and it was a song that I would burn up the dance floor to on those rare occassions that I heard it played at Xanthus, the Baton Rouge bar my friends and I lived in every night of the drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1157648088659202092006-09-07T11:54:00.000-05:002006-09-07T11:54:49.276-05:00So... I know I never post anymore... but... I've had a really busy relatively stressful last couple of months.

One huge hole in my tracks was the lack of the singles by Secession. On a whim, I check out Oink and, sweet jesus, someone uploaded a torrent yesterday of the complete singles discography of them!No other band defines my drewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154441126942532092006-08-01T09:05:00.000-05:002006-08-01T09:05:30.570-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154434973313668332006-08-01T07:22:00.000-05:002006-08-01T07:22:54.393-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154430962006888612006-08-01T06:16:00.000-05:002006-08-01T06:16:03.193-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154424309269178982006-08-01T04:25:00.000-05:002006-08-01T04:25:09.923-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154418672174399122006-08-01T02:51:00.000-05:002006-08-01T02:51:12.840-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154410376571338692006-08-01T00:32:00.000-05:002006-08-01T00:33:18.726-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154404817892593332006-07-31T23:00:00.000-05:002006-07-31T23:00:18.806-05:00Multimedia messagedrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05661215431714946563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004329.post-1154312695751641572006-07-30T21:24:00.000-05:002006-07-30T21:24:56.046-05:00We're home... we're tired...
