I would add Palena and Pesce to the list. Also Komi, although that might have been a little later than 2000.


Palena and Komi as fresh college grads? Y’all must have funds


Haha, nooo. Like I said, we spent all our money eating out. And also lived at home with parents for part of that time while making decent salaries. But also - some places were much cheaper. Komi before it became famous was really affordable, for what it was. We would also sit at the bar some places and get appetizers and drinks. Fun memories.

“Alive and well,” not “alone and well” obviously. Sorry!
