Before CTL
Given her most recent book was Bringing Up Bebe, it's fitting that this radio DJ/news reporter/new parent's first concert was Raffi. You can find now find Rose's sleep-deprived-but-still-chic-as-hell mama twirling her hair, humming Baby Baluga.
Who is Elana?
This SLT member's 16-year-old goth self wouldn't have guessed that their adult self would buy really expensive Nest candles, oversee a team of 60 people, and casually snack on Manchego cheese and San Pelligrino.
Who is Becka?
Don't sugarcoat (her coffee) please; this drummer-turned-nurse "left a good job in the city" to hole up in Hudson with her rabbit. She still dreams of dancing down pedestrian-free sidewalks to the Indigo Girls.
Who is Dana?
Keep dogs and cats away from this heavy-metal, "Frozen"-singing dad! Gift him a George R.R. Martin book, bring him a Fruit Punch Gatorade, and tune his guitar, and he'll defend you forever.
Who is Shawn?
Like Joan Jett, this outdoor-sports-only athlete loves Rock N Roll. While sipping decaf, and munching Pop Tarts and Mint Milanos, this outdoor-sports-only athlete will tell you that part of "eating the frog" means rinsing off dishes to avoid dry-condiment residue. Gross!
Who is Sweezey?
This Advertising Club president has a perfectly reasonable Janet Jackson obsession and regrets buying post-lockdown clothes and shoes. She wants to tell you about it (and has access to tons of cookies!) so please don't interrupt!
Who is Mishka?
This Phish-loving Science Olympiad doesn't regret his solo rendition of Sweet Caroline at karaoke last night, only staying up way too late reading Ogilvy on Advertising. (Don't put a label on this guy!)
Who is Matt Morris?
This basketballer regrets the one time he didn't procrastinate and bought all that business casual clothing in January 2020. I say, "don't stop believin'" that you'll wear them soon enough, U2 will tour again, and you'll pass the audit!
Who is Larry?
While blessing the rains down in Africa, this lifelong fundraiser may sigh when she's stressed, but will strum the ukelele in a Mr. Noodles jumpsuit and let you jump in her bouncy house anytime.
Who is Adeena?
This 4'11'' schedule slinger wakes up early to shower, but, if she doesn't get her black coffee in time, she sings bye bye bye and heads back to bed to dream of pizza deliveries, wishing she could return all those hair products she bought to get that Jessica Simpson hair.
Who is Dayna?
This mall rat's parents' band opened for Reba, but she was more into Janis Joplin. As a long-time newspaper editor, she was keeping her allergies at bay and starting a movement to get people to start new email threads with new subject lines.
Who is Ashley?
This divine empty nester wants you to try before you complain... as in, TRY to best her at "first concert." Hers was the TLC, LL Cool J, R. Kelly and Paula Abdul tour. Beat that. Don't know who they are? Google it.
Who is Shinise?
This juggler doesn't want you to think he engineers anything even remotely interesting enough to capture on his GoPro, his worst impulse buy, a close second to the Heart concert tickets and 20 hacky sacks he bought in the 80s.
Who is Ben?
The qualitative data show that this local coffee loving social justice junkie eats string cheese the wrong way, which is a worse sin than buying low-sodium Triscuits. Hopefully Toronto bodegas don't stock them...
Who is Bob?
While she was giving admissions tours, this staff meeting DJ wasn't biting her nails and overthinking buying those Beyonce tickets, because A) she doesn't buy things on impulse and B) knew she could read Maya Angelou anytime.
Who is Bonnie?
Don't worry; the drummer is only frowning because he's in deep concentration! Also, he requested a veggie plate before the show, but leave off the mushrooms! If you see Michelle Obama in the crowd, ask her sign his Becoming copy.
Who is Matt Faulk?
This tea-guzzling ACDC backup dancer is not on a highway to Hell; she ran leadership summer camps and isn't a big shopper. She could have found more happiness, though, if she had shopped around when buying her new car...
Who is Dena?
If this transformer's worst habit is sweeping crumbs off the table onto the floor, "I will survive" even if she chastises me for texting her, asking her to call me. She purple-heart emojis and the world is right again.
Who is Shairi?
