I met Lori in 5th grade in Mrs. Osbourne's class.
We spent most of our time getting into trouble or being separated in class and have been the best of friends
ever since.
I met Eric at Lori's house during a party, all
I can remember is that they were laying on the floor
for some reason. Lori informed me that he thought I
was mean to her. She and I still have a laugh over
that.
I work at Universal Studios and no, I am not a tram
operator. I work with numbers.
I am not best known for anything, but Lori would say I'm best known for my sarcastic wit. I'm the weirdest normal person Lori knows and I'm the bestest friend anyone could
have. I also like TMBG, Long Island Iced Teas and the Aristocats.

I've known Lori for years and have known 'Evil Eric' for a long while now and I take full credit for the fact that I threw the two of them together in the same room at a St. Patricks Day party and the rest was history. I basically serve as a bad example as well as being Eric's partner in crime, his drinking buddy and drill sergeant. I think I'm best known for getting Eric to 'get intimate' with a vacuum cleaner while filming a movie (ironically at Lori's house about a year before they got together)

I met Lori in High School. She was a part of our click of people that were too weird (in a willfully good way) for the other clicks. I remember walking to Lori’s house after (or during) class, making burrito’s al la Lori (hash browns and corn!) and dodging her curmudgeonly rabbit as he swiped at us from under the couch. I remember taking a french class with her at IVC eons ago and loving it (although Lori thinks she spent more time writing on her purple converse than we did congegating verbs) met Eric some time after they had been going out, and I love him and his fabulous fashion sense to death! With Eric and Lori, I remember sneaking into Fair with amazing costumes, drinking wine for breakfast, and traipsing all over Danville for Halloween. I am a singer, crisis line worker, and soon to be psychology grad student. I mentor voice at City College of San Francisco and perform with the SF Lyric Opera Chorus. I'm best know for my religious/relentless devotion to the gym.

My first clear memory of Eric is at the Agoura Ren Faire.. He was doing acrobatic rolls into the Greene Man inn... This was among my first days at the Ren Faire. Needless to say, after all the intoxications that I consumed over my years working the Faire, I don't recall much after that day. He was a very cool guy then, boy.. I sure do miss THAT Eric. What ever happened to that nice guy?
We knew every move each other would make.. We were there for each other every step of the way. When we were on stage together, it was like magic.. even if we blew the show from too much drinking the moments before, we shared the same mojo.
When my mother died, I KNEW I could count on Eric to be there for me... and he was.
I love Eric with all my heart..(not in a gay way).. He is like the brother I never had.
You can't ask for a better friend. Wednesday, male bonding nights, we did for YEARS...Incredible part of our lives...Who else would share 200 year old whiskey with you without hesitation? Eric has been such a HUGH part of my life... if you were to take away all the moments Eric and I shared, I would be 13 again..... DAMN YOU ERIC... YOU AGED ME!
I am still a bit jealous of Eric's relationship with Billys vacuum cleaner...
My first memories of Lori are not quite as clear, because as I stated above, I started drinking ALOT when I met Eric. Lori was always the cool chick that was frank and to the point. Said what was on her mind and was proud of that. Lori and I shared some trying times together... My breakups with women and her heart aches too. In life, you have to share the good times, but its also, even MORE so, important to share the tough times. You can't grow without that sharing discourse.
I'm a computer geek both professionally and in my spare time. I have a serious love affair with gadgets and my cat, Avalon as well as my talented country singer girlfriend, Vickie. And I'm best know for um...probably not something Lori's mom would want on this site.

Lori and I met in beginning art class at Irvine High School armed with glue, scissors, and
felt-tipped pens. This was followed by many more art classes, lunches in the quad, unsanctioned field trips, and (cover your ears kids) visits to the principal's office which, like everything, Lori managed to make fun! Eric was a much later addition, and we love him for his amazing soul and being an incredible blessing to Lori's life. I am an artist, event organizer, administrative assistant, and sometimes-bartender studying to be a nurse.
I'm best known for making pasta.

I'll never forget that wonderfully gloomy morning that I met my favorite couple. Eric was grumpy over his lack of coffee and Lori delighted me with her dark humor. After a few 80's lyrics and Hemingway quotes, Eric adopted me as his younger and much less experienced brother for that faire year. I learned tons of things from Eric and Lori at faire, what not to do, where not to sleep, what not to drink and a whole lot of what to do. The rest of that year was a blur but I knew I had made some of best friends I have. Currently I'm an residential electrician, living with my wife and two leopard bengals in the deep dark desert of Nevada. I'm best know for my dark humor and incorrect logic of the world...oh and diving face first onto Lori's bed while she tries to do yoga and soften her eyes.

I met Lori via the internet! On the old bulletin board AFR, and then in real life at the house in the valley. The same night we drove to AZ renaissance festival, she let me drive, and we laughed the whole drive there. When Lori and Eric got together, I had only met him a few times at faire, but I have grown to adore him! Currently, I am a graduate of The Le Cordon Bleu, I am a pastry chef. I am in the motions of getting a job and to hopefully get a job making sugar sculpture. I'm best known for making everyone giggle plus Lori thinks I do a damn fine job at herding cats.

"I honestly don't remember
er our first meeting very well (but I am so very grateful it happened). But I do see costumes, lots of costumes. Oh, and wooden stages, Oh and drinking! Yes! There was drinking! There, see?! I remember now! It was either at a faire or at a Catholic church. I'm an actor, writer and musician (you know ... a waiter).
I'm probably best
known for my excellent timing, spot on sense of humor and the ability to make people smile. Plus, I'm helping to supply the cutest flower girl ever with the help of my lovely wife Katie.

I have never actually met either Lori or Eric. (editors note: we have too met in person. sheesh) For years, I knew about -- and interacted with Lori on the old alt.fairs.renaissance newsgroup.
By the time weactually attendeda renaissance fair at thesameplace and time, no introduction was necessary. Eric just showed up at her side one day and in a very Orwellian moment Irealized that he had always been at her side. And that he was definitely Eurasian. By day I am a humble database administrator for a specialty chemical company in Anaheim, CA. By night I put on my "marryin' suit"and prowl the land as Super Reverend, randomly marrying couples parked at Inspiration Point to keep them honest. No, really. :) I am best known for... sheesh, I have no idea. Ask Lori. (editors note: he did. there are lots. girls, go ahead and ask him anything, he loves it!)
