okay, i was going to try to avoid this as long as possible. but i've already been called on my lack of introduction once...thanks Troy! so here it goes.

let's see. i'm 32, but i keep saying that i'm 34! i always try to prepare myself for the next year and then end up skipping a year! i've been married for 9 years to my highschool sweetie. we have an awesome 3.5 year old daughter who dresses like a "princess" every day and would live on vanilla icecream if allowed. btw, she went to her first OtR concert when she was 4 months old! (don't worry, we sat in the very back so it wouldn't be too loud and made sure no one was smoking)! Linford even gave her googly eyes.

right now i live right outside of Boulder, Colorado. if you don't know where that is, you head north and take a sharp left at Reality! my husband and i have lived here for 9 years. and besides the fact that OtR has only been here once, we LOVE it here. BUT we are moving to southern Kentucky this summer. my husband was offered his dream job teaching social work at a college out there. so, if anyone is from Kentucky, maybe you can let me know what to expect! we will be closer to Ohio. and believe me, we WILL be at any and all shows we can!

the first time i heard Otr was in '92 or '93 at cornerstone at midnight! i was immediately captivated! they have been the background music to my life ever since! like i said on another thread, when i was pregnant w/ my daughter, i ordered every last cd so that i could listen to them while i was in labor. i don't remember if i did though!!!

what else? i play the guitar, write, and sing. i would eventually like to get a cd together. i have 2 songs produced and recorded. but i have a ton more that i just need to get around to doing. things take a little longer w/ a toddler around! it's actually funny b/c the 2 songs i have recorded were done when i was pregnant. you can hear my daughter kick the guitar! i would eventually like to write a couple of books.

i also chew one thumbnail when i get nervous.

i am very passionate about Native American issues. and really any injustice. i would like to adopt 1 child from every continent!

oh, i have a degree in speech/language pathology and audiology. i don't know if i'll ever use it
b/c i still don't know what i want to be when i grow up.

that's basically me in a nutshell. i'm so excited to find this board. anyone who knows me knows that i LOVE OtR! it's nice to be united w/ people who know good music when they hear it . i look forward to getting to know you all!!!

christy

wow, that's a lot to reply to.

welcome christy!

watch out for linford's googly eyes...he hypnotises people and holds them captive in the orchard. it may not yet be too laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

OMG, Christy...
I live in Louisville, CO. .. just south of Boulder (as you no doubt know). Where do you live?
This is awesome....except now you are going to move to KY. Sheeece!
Did you go to school at CU?
There's a few (very few) of us from CO here. I was fortunate enough to fly into Dayton last weekend for my very first live OTR concert.
You must have been looking forward to the infamous postponed tour last Fall as well, eh?
Nice to have you here.
Trudy xo

Welcome, Christy! Your biography is most captivating. I look forward to your posts around the orchard.

trudy!
i live in Lafayette!!!! that is too cool! we'll have to meet for coffee!
i actually went to CSU and graduated from UNC. do you go to CU? and YES, i was looking forward to the show that was cancelled last fall! were you at the one in 2001? i think it was at the filmore. how was the concert in Dayton? i bet that was awesome! your first live OtR show! wow!

My sis was totally excited about the (now cancelled) show in New Hampshire. That girl SO has to come to Taft....

Christy,
That is so crazy. We could've been next to each other in line at King Soopers!
We'll absolutely get together before you move. When do you leave?

Welcome to the orchard, Christy! We have a couple people from the Louisville and Lexington areas here, good luck with your upcoming move.

Welcome Christy!! What part of Southern KY are you moving to? I am in Lexington KY, and unfortunately am not too familiar with much of anything south of here, I try to avoid it... j/k

If you move to KY before the end of June you'll likely get a chance to see OtR again. They are playing Lex on June 26th...

it was at the bluebird in Denver and at Tulagi in Boulder. Trudy told me the other day that they closed Tulagi. bummer.

trudy,
we probably have run into each other somewhere! what do you do?

stiv,
thanks for the reassurance! LOL! we will be right between knoxville and lexington. they are both about 1.5 hours away. it's actually a beautiful area!

luke,
you're right...the bluebird! it was an awesome concert! i hadn't heard that about the tulagi. that is too bad.

Christy,
Here's my bio

welcome to the orchard, christy!

thanks for all the info and such. my sister, and a few friends of mine are studying speech pathology. cool!

enjoy your stay, here.

welcome to the orchard! i look forward to reading more of your posts.

btw, your home state is beautiful. i've only been to denver, but i've loved what i've seen.

you all are so nice and welcoming!

kylie jo,
i love SLP. it's a great degree. much more interesting than people might imagine.

sixpence,
(another band that i love!) yes, colorado is beautiful and i'm really going to miss it. i have an awesome mountain view in my back yard! if we weren't able to come back during the summers, i would be really depressed. i hope eventually we will be able to live in hawaii for a while. where are you from btw?

Welcome.

Southern Kentucky college: is that Berea?

actually it's cumberland.

Hey Christy! Welcome to the Orchard! I've been MIA for a couple days, or I'd have welcomed you sooner. Good luck with the move; I look forward to seeing you around here more often!
