Nadia and I met at the club... Yep, that's right; the club (at 11 and 14 years of age). Well, it wasn't exactly a REAL club; it was the 86 Club down on Vine Street in Cincinnati. Linsley (my dope-ass sister who happens to play some dope instruments) was playing a gig with her then band, The Emerson Project, and Nadia and I were there with our parents enjoying the show. From across the room, I saw this super cute girl, and thought, "I wonder if she would want to play pool?" Being my totally awkward self, I stumbled to the table she and her parents were reclining at and fumbled to ask the simple question. To my shock and surprise (not unlike at other times), she said yes! What a rush it was to play pool and talk about Percy Jackson and the Olympians with this super cute girl who I totally had a crush on pretty much instantly. As we talked, I got this feeling that I call the "86 Club Feeling." The best part: I get to enjoy that feeling for the rest of my life.
