My Most Famous Friend?
Posted by Stuart at 12:41 PM on October 06, 2007In my past life in America, back before I moved to the other side of the world, before 9/11 and the dot-com bust, I shared a cubicle space in a San Francisco office with a guy named Zach and a goldfish lovingly given the name of Stinky. We were Internet Product Managers (well, Zach and I were, not Stinky) and our products were sites like Orbitz.com and other, less-fortunate dot-com casualties.
Zach and I got laid off on the same day, and we headed off in opposite directions. I ended up in Bangkok, and he ended up with a band called Rogue Wave and a burning desire to be a rock star. Five years later, I'm still in Bangkok, and Zach is still a rock star. His band has gone so far as to appear on The Late Show with Conan O'Brien a couple of weeks ago.
Here's the video proof for you. Zach is the blonde lead singer who looks so happy to not be building websites any more.
Congratulations, Rogue!
Rogue Wave! Living here in So Cal they are pretty big on KCRW, they either did a live set or are going to do one very soon. KCRW by the way is very influential in the music business, its seems as if one or another of the disc jockies is doing the music for either movies or TV shows. And I'm not just saying that because I am a member.

Hey Stuart! My niece Kelly M. is on the verge of being the most famous member of my family. At 17 yrs. old, she recently landed a modeling contract and is in Japan working. I think she also was just offered a modeling shoot in Hawaii with Sony or some other company. Here's the agencies website:
