South actually. I live in Boston. ;)

Might as well use this as an excuse to introduce myself:

Jon Bernhardt. Been playing since 1996, when I saw TaEO and purchased 
an early Etherwave kit. I didn't start practicing regularly until 
forming the Lothars in early 1997, a band that continues today. Since 
then, I've also played with several other bands, most notably The Pee 
Wee Fist who broke up a year or two ago when the principal 
singer/songwriter moved Brooklyn. We keep in touch, in fact I stayed 
him when I played at the NYTS event last month, but the distance 
makes the band a bit difficult. I occasionally play solo, using 
prerecorded backing tracks to perform punk/new wave tunes. I also 
play traditional stuff like "Over the Rainbow", but for some reason 
it's my interpretations of Ramones & Buggles songs that get the best 
response. ;)

That's enough yakking for now. Thanks to Dave for setting this up.
