How I got to be a Downsider

I was living at Weatherford Hall at Oregon State University. One day I went to the music store in town. I looked at the records at the store and joined a small group of people at the register. The visitors brought in the Downsiders All My Friends Are Fish CD and vinyl album. They said that they had a cool record to share; and so I said that I would buy it. They said well which do you want the vinyl or the CD and I picked the CD. And then she said it’s going to have to be the CD. I’m not sure how I managed but I got the Downsiders and that was my mission.

The Downsiders are from Cal State University Chico. That’s where Greg is from. He looks like Clinton. Although he is not happy about going to Chico, he says, “Guys can stir.” I visited Chico in the Summer of 2001.
