Nearly 10 years ago
Monkey River Town strikes again! Cory has posted this wonderful picture on Flickr of some of us in our misspent youths.
Oh man is this cool. Sitting to my left is Sarah Nylander; we once did a 2.5 hour show on KUMM devoted to accordion music - it was a wonderful thing. WeatherGirl’s hair has gone through many permutations since this was taken, and I was still wearing suspenders back then.
Me oh my, but Sub-Evil Boy looks just a wee bit younger than the (very nearly) teenager that currently shares our life. I suspect it was the next year (or the year after) that he and Brent Heeringa (who MC’ed the event) did a version of Pavement’s "Cut your hair" (there’s a Wikipedia entry for that?!?). Watching his little 4.5 year old self singing up there in front of all those students was a real blast. One of the many wonderful things about life at UMM.
Thanks a ton to Cory for sharing this memory!

Hey Nic! I figured you had posted this on your blog. I thought “There is no way this picture is generating so many flickr hits on its own…” so I took the oppertunity to drop by your site. Yeah, this was a good time. This picture always brings a smile to my face. I’m glad you are still involved with KUMM, Morris in general, and that we are back in touch!

Oh, yeah. That had to go up right away - thanks for sharing! Yeah, it’s definitely cool that KUMM connected us years ago, and Flickr re-connected us now. One of life’s cooler bits…
