I think it's been about a year. I was looking over the old, information-starved posts from back then and giggling. The one with all the ideas for the lead singer's name (we didn't know he was Alex Ebert) that included:
Rob Milkey
Donovan Smash
Jason Cardio
Adam Washle
Sonny DeVore

cracks me up to this day.

Very close.
