GET OUTTA HERE! We moved to Mount Vernon. I lived in Evansville for about 9 years. I went to ISUE (now USI), I worked at FolzCity at North Park (if you remember that, it later became "CAT'S" - coolest record store in the Midwest at the time). I spent a lot of time at the Swinging Door and The Other Side (what creative names for gay bars, I mean, who would know?). I don't know how old you are but it is possible we know each other - though I don't remember meeting anyone named "FruityANDNutty" it's entirely possible, I drank a lot more back then.

My best friend lived in Henderson and wrote for the newspaper there. My brothers are still in Mt.Vernon/Evansville and I have gone back every year for the past several years for nephews and nieces High School graduations. I still have friends there - two of my best friends are kind of local celebs: John Gibson (on WIKY) and April Mitchell (used to be an anchor and I think she had some public interest show or something). I like getting to see them every year.

Yeah, I moved to the East Coast first - Connecticut for about a year and a half (hated it), then finally got here in 1989. I won't be leaving.
