Sherwey Liang is an old friend from Albuquerque, NM. He's studying electrical engineering at the University of
Washington. We used to play this really cheesy game for the Nintendo 64 called NBA Hangtime as well as Madden NFL
for the Sony Playstation.

Here's a picture of me and a few friends at a rave up in Santa Fe a long time ago. On my left is one of my oldest
friends Phillip Barreras. We've been through a lot together, but it's been hard to keep in touch lately because
of his job. To my right is his roommate Colin, and another close friend Scott Dukart is smiling in front of
the three of us. Scott Dukart is a badass upcoming house music DJ here in Albuquerque.
Close Friends
Chris Kittrell is the person whom I owe a lot...he taught me how to dance and introduced me to the club/rave scene in Albuquerque back in February of 1995. Right now he lives in Phoenix, AZ and he's working for Qwest as an executive.
I initially met Ian at a get together (also known as GT) for a bulletin board
system (BBS) a long time ago before the Internet was popular. Since then, I've seen him at raves more and more
often over the years. I think he's a promoter now. He's the guy on the right in both pictures.
Ian
Andy Hoehn is an old friend. We met in a programming class at La Cueva High School (Microsoft Basic, what a joke). He graduated last summer with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. He currently works for SAIC and drives a nice black 1998 Corvette.
UPDATE: Andy has passed away. Rest In Peace my friend.
Keepin' in real in the vette
Nicholas Pappas is a new friend I met at work as a systems administrator for the UNM Computer Science Department. We share interests in meeting new people, shooting the bull, and shooting at the range or outdoors. This summer I'm going to try paintball with him.
Charles Zivancev is a friend I met at work at the UNM CS Department. He's into swing and salsa dancing. I haven't had time lately, but there's a relatively cheap salsa class almost every Saturday at this dance studio close to Central and San Mateo.
I met Christian from clubs and raves. I've known him for a few years and he's always got tons of energy!
Heather, me, and Christian
Brooks Bollich is a friend I met at work at the UNM CS Department. He graduated in the Fall of 2000
with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. He's currently in Fort Collins, Colorado working for
Hewlett Packard. We could always shoot the bull for hours about absolutely nothing!

Conlin Chino is a cool raver I met a few years ago at a club here in Albuquerque called Underground Nation (now Club 211).
Yes, his dad is the famous anchorman for a news channel here in New Mexico (he also made a guest appearance in the movie Contact).
Currently, Conlin is going to college at New Mexico State in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Conlin Chino
Eldon Feldman is a DJ, promoter, and producer of music here in Albuquerque. He has helped Albuquerque's clubs and rave scene more than anyone can imagine. He currently lives in High Desert with his wife. I initially met Eldon once I became a "regular" around the scene here in Albuquerque. Occasionally, I help him promote parties.
Evone Zander is fast becoming a pretty close friend. I intially started hanging out with her since my friend Scott was not feeling well due to his recovery from cancer as well as other personal issues. I gave her rides to places, helped her run errands, and helped her around her rental house as she had torn two ligaments and was very handicapped for most of the summer. She's smart, funny, and can totally be one of the guys from time to time!
Heather Griffin is an old friend I met at the nightclub Underground Nation (now Club 211). She's studying computer animation
at TVI. We still go to clubs/raves together every once in a while (we're picky about what DJ we see!).
Heather Griffin
Jes Cuoco is another one of my oldest friends. I met him back in high school as a freshman on a bulletin board system. I really got to know him during my sophomore year in high school. His Italian family is one of the warmest families I know! We both share an intense interest in sports cars and racing.
Jolene Lindsey is a new friend. I met her at a party a few years ago because she was dating a friend's friend. She's a manager at
Hastings. She is studying to become a masseuse! She enjoys going out and having fun doing whatever. She has two really
cool friends: Geneva and Cole (sp? Her real name is Constance). They all enjoy laser tag. I haven't ever played before,
but I'm probably going to try this summer!
Jolene Lindsey
Juan Molinar is one of my oldest friends. I met him at Underground Nation back in February of 1996. I was dressed up that
night because I had gone to my first (and last) high school dance (winter ball). Since then, we've hit raves and clubs all
over the United States together. Going on a road trip is kind of like moving in with someone...you get to know all the good
things (and bad things) about that person! I've met a lot of really cool people through Juan (
Sergio Mendez, rest in peace my friend).

Justin Roberts used to run a radio show here in Albuquerque called Section E. It was on 89.1FM once a week. He's currently a house music DJ here in Albuquerque. Justin Roberts and Eldon Feldman are sometimes known as the "Architects of Rhythm."
Louisa Irick is a really hip raver/hiphop girl. She's currently living in San Francisco. She used to throw really underground hiphop events here in Albuquerque. If Louisa is at a party, you can count on warm vibes coming from her!
Matt Gassner is a really cool guy I met off of Audiworld. He almost bought an Audi A4, but decided to get a Subaru WRX sedan instead! We share an interest in high performance cars that are not only fast...but can handle well too! Matt is currently studying graphics design at UNM.
I met Paul Pantazis at UNM by working for the UNM Computer Science Department. We share an interest in guns, going out to bars, and dancing at clubs. He's currently studying Computer Science as a senior at UNM.
Nick Douglas is a computer geek like me. We share an interest in being able to build a computer (or repair one) from scratch as well as gaming and linux. He's probably going to study Computer Science at UNM someday.
A.J. Wehr and James Nickerson are two pretty interesting guys I met at Honeywell. James is currently dating my friend Evone, and
I hang out with them once or twice a week. We share an interest in great movies, great comedy, being weird engineers,
and Ren and Stimpy.
A.J. Wehr
Shelly Garcia is a friend I met shortly before I graduated. I really wish I could have known her longer because
now we can only talk online. She's has a typing and spelling problem! Just kidding Shelly! Miss ya pal...
Shelly Garcia
Jennifer Liu is a cool girl I knew from back in the day. From time to time, I used to see her at Chinese gatherings
around town. I've run into her a bunch around campus while I was in school and now the bars since I graduated. We hang
out every once in a while (we're both really busy these days). She's going to medical soon (probably out of state) so
hopefully you like it wherever you go Jen!
