Right when I got into Jersey later that night, I got a call from Kara Saks (who was home from Canada) and went out to meet them at a nearby bar. Here's Roxbury High School in full effect: Donna Grodeska, (Dennis Crowley lookalike) Brian Brunton, and Kara.

First thing I did upon arriving in town on Wednesday evening was pick up Kim Wilson (my senior prom date, awwww) who was in town from North Carolina and head over to a bar in town called "The Barn," which before all major holidays is the best place to find other people you went to high school with.

Sure enough, no sooner had we set foot in the place than we ran into Dave VanHandle, Adam Padfield and Paige (who's last name I forget). All RHS Alumnus!

Emily and Bevery Chase (Class Wit '95). I'm using Bev's full name here with the hopes that any time some one googles her name, the whole "Class Wit" thing will show up next to it.

What's better than three Roxbury grads in one pic? How about six mothafucking Roxbury Grads in one pic? Insanity. Bev, Chris, Colin Badini, Ian, Emily and me.

Friday night I headed out to Hoboken with fellow Roxbury High School graduates Emily Cmielewski and Bev Chase to see our friend Christina Alessi's band (also RHS alum, baby) Hey Tiger play at Maxwell's.

And we were even treated to yet ANOTHER (late-comer) RHS arrival...Amanda Polk (who still won't make out with me. It's been like 10 years already. Seriously, WTF?)

Earlier on in the day, I'd gotten a call from Seth Bienstock, a friend of mine from high school that I hadn't seen in almost 10 years! He had recently moved back to the east coast from San Fran and was going to be out in Brooklyn later that night at a bar where some friends of his where hosting a Trivia Night.

As soon as we walked in the door we spotted Hope. Despite the fact that I hadn't seen her since '93 (what's up, ten years?!?) she looked almost exactly the same (minus the totally hot B.U.M. Equipment stirrup pants and Candies™ she used to wear. (Aw yeah, Jersey lemme hear ya!).

We met up with Bev Chase who we also know from high school (winner of the infamous "Class Wit" superlative for '95; gotta give mad respect, y'all) at the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Yay, Roxbury High School! Wooooo! After this pic was snapped, the three of us headed down to Iggy's Keltic Lounge (where Grant and I guest bartended) in the LES and met up with Bev's boyfriend Matt (for some reason I didn't take any pics of the four of us. Me not taking pictures? Unheard of!)

Right when we walked into Jimi, I heard someone yell my name. I was like, I'm in fucking Asbury Park, NJ...who the fuck knows my name? I turn around to see Max, Chris Silk and Christina Alessi, three people I went to high school with. Apparently, Ween was playing a show at the Stone Pony the next night and they were staying at a hotel around the corner with a bunch of people. Randomness.
