Our old college friend (and Jes’ old roommate) has made it! He’s officially a rockstar. He’s in a band named Everest and they released their first album called “Ghost Notes”. They also appeared on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on Friday night! You can watch the video here. Click on “Act 5” at the bottom and wait for the little commercial to finish. It was so surreal seeing our buddy on TV.

Anyway, Joel is the scruffy blonde on the left. He’s wearing his favorite jacket with the elbow patches and he’s jammin’ in his own bouncy, rockin’ way as usual. The lead singer was unrecognizable on the show since the last time we hung out with them at the Bridge School Benefit, he was sportin’ a HUGE beard and stash. I didn’t realize there was a young decent-looking guy under all that hair.

In support of our dear friend, as we were having dinner with The Bangs and Sokol-Juns last night, we went online and each ordered a copy of their CD. I don’t remember the last time I bought a CD but this one was worth forkin’ over 11 bucks…and they’re actually pretty good! Yay Joel!!
