Hmm life stories, this should be interesting....

Here's mine...

I'm 30 years (5/25/67) and I work at Andersen Consulting.  I've been
there for 3 and a half years and I still like it.  That's a miracle
considering all the shit jobs that I've had before.  However, they got
me to where I am today so I guess I can't complain.  I have a degree in
Accounting and started at Andersen as an accountant and then last year
after a 4 week hiatus in Europe (where I met Nina Hagen), I switched
positions and now I am software developer.

I live alone in Chicago and have lived here all my life.  I also love
cats and I have a great cat named Mitch.  I named him after Tippi
Hedren's boyfriend in the Birds.

When I was younger I used to hang out at Medusa's (now lofts) and go to
punk rock shows at the Metro.   When I turned 21, I started hanging out
at the Octagon, Neo, Club 950 and the Exit.  I also used to go to
Industry (an awesome bar which only lasted about a year or so), Dome
Room and Aftermath (also didn't last too long).  Those were the good old
days.  I still freak out how much things have changed but that's life.
I started listening to Siouxsie in between Tinderbox and Through the
Looking Glass.  I became a true fanatic once I got the videos for Once
Upon A Time.

Other bands that I enjoy are Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Smiths,
Xymox, Cocteau Twins, Bauhaus, Alien Sex Fiend, New Order, Skinny Puppy,
etc.  I mostly listen to their older stuff as I find myself still stuck
in the '80s.  They just don't seem to make music that's as good.  I also
like music from the '50s, '60s and '70s too.

What I'd be interested in knowing is who else is from Chicago.
