Location: Austin, Texas (moved in 2002 from New York City where I lived for 5 years).
Marital Status: single
Children: nope
Have you or would you let your kids see Rocky: of course, if they had any such interest
What I'm doing these days: I am a lawyer (waiting for my admission to the Texas Bar) - mostly general civil and commercial litigation. After high school, I went back east (Philadelphia) for college, then lived in DC (working, going to law school, and clerking for a federal judge). Moved up to New York and practiced there for five years, then realized I was working more than I was playing and that was just no good, so I packed up and moved down here to Austin. I'm a huge music fan and see several shows a week here in Austin. I'm hoping to develop a small music practice, so that I can combine my love of music with my work. I travel quite a bit, too.
People from Rocky I've kept in touch with: Goldie Baker (Bloom), John Pichardo, Lance Bagley, Robert Dockery. Christmas cards annually (and sometimes e-mail) with others.
Why I first went to Rocky: I was 14 or 15 and my best friend got sent to live with her dad in Hawaii. One of my "new" friends at school had a huge crush on Doc (James Dockery), so she drug me to the show to see him.
How I started performing: Well, that's a little cloudy. I had met Michael Jackson, Alexis Harwood and a girl named Kelly. Kelly was getting married and moving away, so they needed a Magenta. That was me. I think Kelly and/or Alexis took me wig shopping and taught me how to put on false eyelashes.
Food I ordered after the show: Rarely went to eat - maybe sometimes. We went to the park a lot. I remember drinking Heinekens that Royal Bibb and Scott Wygal always seemed to have and tequila sunrises that Richard Baker always made.
I last performed: I guess '85?
I last saw Rocky: I guess '85?
Did I buy the Rocky DVD? no
My favorite Rocky memories: Too many to count, most related to the group, not Rocky per se. Sundays (and nights) in the park and going to Krishna Temple or Chicken Pie Shop after (depending on how poor we were). Getting jumped by the skaters. Parties at Karen Reynolds' (I'm an eggplant, after all). All the trouble that Goldie Bloom and I used to get into, and wearing her clothes to school and getting sent to the principal's office. Hanging out before the show on the sidewalk, drinking Scott Wygal and Royal Bibb's beers. Hanging out at the Rad Pad. Marc Mead trying for the third time to keep me awake long enough to see all of Star Wars (I still haven't). Trips to Disneyland and Magic Mountain in the back of John (Godzilla) Horne's car-truck-thing. Painting the roses red with George Naylor.
