Happy Birthday, Gary!

Gary Pope's birthday is today. For those who do not know Gary, I met him the summer of 1991 when he and Chris Wrenn worked together. Soon Gary and I were working together and since then there have been many many many many nights drinking beer, playing video games, pool, darts and watching all sorts of bad movies (for whatever reason whenever he, Chris and I would go see a movie at least two of us would hate it passionately).

More importantly, Gary is the kind of friend who will cheerfully come and pick you up across town at 2:30 in the morning because you are too drunk to drive home. The kind of friend who will encourage you when you take risks and give you whatever support he can. He is the kind of friend who understands that his friends screw up from time to time and doesn't hold it against them, just asks they return the favor.

Now that you know what a great guy he is, go check out his band's my space page and groove to their sounds.

Happy birthday, man.
