Celeb Party

When I moved to Northampton back in June I was completely oblivious to the number of celebrities I would be coming in contact with. I assumed Northampton was only a little cooler than my home-area of Columbus, Ohio, and then, simply because it resides in new england with easy access to several big cities. As it turned out, outside of the actual small town itself, the Western Massachusetts area is pretty lame. It's annoying that I have to drive sometimes two hours to get to a place that, in Columbus, was a mere 15 minute drive. But, that's where the celebrities come in. I've seen a lot of them. Or at least at lot more than I ever have in my life; in Columbus or otherwise. But not to a visit to Boston or New York, this is all happening in good old Northampton proper (or Amherst for one incident). Because this is a pretty big deal I figure I'd better tell you who I've met just so everyone will finally understand how cool I actually am.

Kim Gordon (aka Sonic Youth god/essentials regular)
Thurston Moore (pitchfork readers poll number 6 underrated album of 2007)
Coco Gordon-Moore (sonic offspring)
J Mascis (dinosaur guitar god)
John Hodgman (total humor god)
Eugene Mirman (total let-himself-go-since-college god)
A.D. Miles (total BFF with my two fav boys (Michael Showalter and Paul Rudd) god)
Eric Mabius (season one L Word jerk and apparent Ugly Betty star)
Kenny Mayne (ESPN/Dancing With the Stars star)


That's a lot of stars, right??? Don't worry, I'll update you whenever I see more.
