the 1990s. Hypercolor shirts, Vanilla Ice, and the "New Economy." I would not escape the decade without being affected by all of these things. I also experimented with a mullet; a Lyle Lovett-meets-Eraserhead cut; a shaved head; and various experiments with bleach (including a very poorly thought-out one, during the shaved head period). I made a lot of money and recorded my first two albums. Started a couple businesses. Released a few albums by other artists. Founded a newspaper. Drove cross-country twice, and halfway once. Went to Europe. And started renting a room from the Fudge monkey in San Diego. What an eventful decade. Here's Olivier, Ben, Rahul, Tim, Fudge, Marie, and Lara, on their prom night in 1994.
