 |  | Let me speak on John Henry a bit. In fact, I'm certain I've done this exact same speech before years ago, but it bears repeating. This man was one of the first folks I met in my Minneapolis life as part of a small cadre of Staraoke regulars, and one of the first people who I would leave home to see perform, first as one third to one half of MC/VL, then later as part of Nightosaur, and now with PALS. (There were a few RYKYGNYZYR shows in there, too.) We can go long amounts of time without reconnecting but every time we are in the same room, it's always as if no time at all has passed. One of the greatest nights of my life was going to Hamline University to hear him perform a reading as part of his masters and then hitting up the Clown Lounge and having more shots than I'd ever had in my life. He never fails to have an interesting thing to discuss and encourages debate in a way that keeps my mind going just because I want him to be as surprised by what I say as h!
ow surprised I can be from what he says. I love this man like a brother because he IS my brother, and I know the feeling is mutual because we tell each other every time we meet. (Beer helps...as you can see.) And in well over 15 years of knowing him, I can't say I'm sure we'd ever been in a photo together before tonight. Action!
Anyway, if you know him, you already know I'm telling the truth because you probably feel the same way about him. If you DON'T know him, he is super easy to meet if you ever see him. Feel free to drop my name if you think it'd help. |
