Well, it happened.

When I was in college (lol), my favorite band ever was a Christian ska punk band called Five Iron Frenzy. Probably more than any other band, they have influenced my sense of humor and my attitude toward music . Their saxaphone player was named Jeff The Girl. I kind of named my fish after her, and also kind of after this other guy named Jeff that I knew. Also the guy who sold me the fish was named Jeff, but I didn’t know that until after the fact. But the actual jeffthefish alias came straight from her. And then it went straight to internet anonymity.

And tonight I got to meet her! Please ignore my enormous right breast.

She and some of her bandmates started a church called Scum of The Earth in their hometown of Denver. Later, some John dude started a branch in Seattle, and tonight she came to speak there! And that’s where I was when I met her. Do you understand?

And guess who’s going to be in Denver in a week or so (I will be in Denver in about a week or so). Anyone should know that.

Here is something cool that happened:

After she finished her talk and church was over, I cautiously approached her, and before I could say anything, she said, “Where do I know you from?” And I said, “jeffthefish.com!” And she was all, “Yeah!” It was the closest I’ve ever gotten to being “recognized”.

To sum things up, Jeff The Girl is a genuinely nice person, her husband is hilarious, her baby is tiny, and her new band is good.

Deal?

Stumble it!
