This is my friend Aaron Trammell.
Aaron is a great, big, giant rock star.
I think Aaron’s first band’s name had the word “troutfish” in it.
I first met Aaron in high school when he harassed me about listening to said troutfish CD, even though we had never met before. He heard that I played the guitar and therefore would like his damned evil troutfish songs.
Aaron was the manager of Clearview Cinemas in Red Bank and was known by man, woman and child in the area as “that guy with the hair who works at Clearview.”
Aaron’s parents live in a house that Vince Lombardi once bought for his own parents. Vince Lombardi is buried in a cemetary in town where a statue known as the Dancing Jesus lies in waiting. I wrote a story titled “Dancing Jesus at the Broadway Diner”; I drew from an incident that happened to Aaron at the Broadway Diner for that story.
Aaron’s coming over for dinner on Tuesday, and I’ve promised him excellent Thai food (though the fact that I’m out of kaffir leaves is causing me great intestinal distress). I’m going to interview Aaron and make a long podcast or several short podcasts out of it and post it/them on Wednesday. I think I’m going to make this a semi-regular feature, using podcasting as an excuse to invite my friends over for excellent Thai food, only to turn around and viciously interrogate them.
Aaron’s very smart and has a new CD out. This is going to be fun.

You could call them “The Fit To Be Thai’ed Interviews.”
