Kermit lived about a quarter mile away from me for like half of my childhood, but we never really became good friends, which is unfortunate because he's a really cool dude. I actual have a pretty good memory with Kermit though that took place some time during middle school I think when a group of guys went over to his house and shot each other with air soft guns on his yard, ha. It was just a bunch of neighborhood kids doing stupid shit but hey, its memories like that that make me glad I had a cool neighborhood. In high school I remember Kermit doing some great work on the student news. Unfortunately his segment and mine aired on opposite weeks so we didn't get to collaborate, which is a bummer because our segments together probably would have been pretty good. Kermit also wrote a song about Nick Emming after he moved away, Where Are You Nick Emming? I think was the name of it, which was pretty damn good. Kermit writing a song about his friend who he missed was just proof of how good a guy Kermit was.
I'm not sure what he's up to today, but there's little doubt he's doing well.
Cheers,
Andrew
