KEVIN CONNECTION
I met Joanne many years ago when we both worked downtown in the same building...she at American Eagle and me at a design studio in the office below. She's part of a group of friends that I call "The American Eagle crowd" (original huh?). This was a group of mostly single people in their twenties and thirties that I would get together with after work from time to time and get stinking drunk with. Despite the fact that we were all young, single and drunk, I never slept with any of them...except for Mike Torti, who is pictured above; and really, who could blame me...hešs a cute guy and is really funny.

FAVORITE LORI STORY
A long time ago the aforementioned named "American Eagle group" went to Greek Town for a friendšs 40th birthday bash; Joanne played hostess. Somehow, Joanne got really drunk before we even sat down for dinner (somehow? yeah, that's funny. Somehow)...she spent the whole evening in the ladies room being sick and her date, Scott, who she had just recently started dating spent the night holding her hair back. I guess this is my favorite Joanne story not so much because of Joanne getting hammered and missing the whole party (though that is funny as hell), but because Scott, despite her behavior married her, they have two great boys and run a business together...so really, this isn't my favorite Joanne story, but my favorite Scott story. Ain't love grand.
