The Peanut Gallery:  Page Dos
The Second Page of the Infamous Peanut Gallery:  Proven to Heal Minor Cuts and Abrasions 
Eric Vandemark: 
Part of my Osco Posse.  A fan of good film and music, he seems to always supply my working experience with good conversation.  I envy his ambition to take a class completely on James Joyce. 
Mari Nielsen: 
Mari is also a sweetheart and a wonderful friend.  She has moved from Milwaukee to somewhere far up north in MN.  I miss her dearly.  The rest of these people aren't worth a damn compared to her. 
Colleen Bisher: 
Also known as "Cooleen", this crazy kat is also an R.A. and avid reader of sex manuals.  (What is it about being an R.A. and sex manuals anyway?)  Colleen is a good friend, frank and caring at the same time. 
[Left to Right]  Mike Miradorf, Andy North, and Jordan Poast: 
The An Clan that Matysik introduced me to through poker night, classes, and formal introductions.  Both Mike and Jordan are film majors and, together, we form the peanut gallery within the peanut gallery in our film noir class.  We also spend much of our time gamin' it up with some Red Faction and GTA.  While I feel more of a kinship to Mike and Jordan due to their lack of arrogant bastard traits, I've included Andy because the only picture I could find of members of "The State" and "Wet Hot American Summer" had three people and I didn't feel like photoshoppin'.  So, Andy:  You won out slightly over Colin "Bettin' Tex" due to the fact that you let me sleep on your futon when my bus never came.  ;) 
Julie Faulhaber: 
Matysik's second half, Julie is an English major a damn nice person to get coffee with, and a good proofreader for your papers.  She also shares a good taste in the arts and is nice to talk to. 
Elyse Cusuck: 
Another member of the Osco Posse as well as a fellow classmate in Noir and Film History and a fellow writer at the shit paper known as the UWM Post.  Elyse is a witty chick and fan of "Wet Hot" as well as a rabid Phantom Planet fan.
Joe Kautzer: 
A mate who I met in my freshman seminar on style in lit. and the arts.  Joe is an intellectual (and English major) who enjoys a good film and cup of tea. 
Neal Long: 
Neal was supposed to be my roommate freshman year.  I ended up finding this out two years later, after knowing him through his girlfriend for over a year.  Neal is my doppleganger, we both play a lot of video games we have encouraged Nicole and Cathy (his girlfriend) to start up a club for girlfriends with boyfriends who play video games all the time. 
Cathy Torres: 
Cathy is Neal's girlfriend and one of the members of my Osco posse.  Nicole and I spent a lot of our summer with Cathy and Neal, seeing movies, cooking out, and, with the exception of Neal, getting drunk. 
Katie Wittemann: 
When she's not at classes, Katie is talking to me about God knows what.  Katie is one cool cat. 
Gavin La Belle: 
This is man who brought you "Bench".  My Film 220 partner, Gavin is a fan of the Family Guy and in my Noir class.  When we're not doing Quagmire or discussing movies, we shoot and edit film.
