Yeah. Alma is actually the niece of a college classmate of mine. Raul's
now-wife (my college classmate's sister) is an acquaintance of mine. I
bumped into her before one of their gigs and after I told her I'd been
catching the band's shows for a while she told me, yeah, "The singer, I'm
having his baby." That was a trip.
The band's always been two degrees away from me. Jiro is the neighbor of a
friend of mine, Justin's brother played guitar in one of my old acid jazz
bands, an acquaintance of mine filled in for Cut Chemist for one of their
tours, etc.
