Front Man Jude
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Meet Bambi, Toby (the dog), Jude, and Brent.
These people are seriously cool. We're a degree away from strangers (Bambi and I met at her work where she is a hair stylist, her husband Brent and lady-killer Jude I've yet to meet) but when asked to share a photo and some insider info on domestic hipsterdom the fam was game to spill the scoop.
"Sometimes you start to think that you are the only one with a kid and people think you are uncool for it, and then someone wants to do a blog about!" Bambi started out our e-interview expressing her delight and we continued on a positive note.
How many kids do you have?
-We have one kid, Jude Oliver, who is a year and a half old.
Jude is adorable. He looks kinda small in the photo ....
-The picture I sent was our Christmas card last year. It is super old but I don't have any good, current pictures of the family. That reminds me. I need to take more pictures!
Have things changed since then? I mean since Jude was born, not since last Christmas...
-Almost everything has changed since we had Jude! The other day my husband was talking about selling his ampeg bass amp.
No! That's a big deal, you and Brent are both musicians right?
- Brent and I used to play in bands. His last band was called Post Stardom Depression. My last was called Rotten Apples. We both play bass.Both bands are planning "reunion" shows
What kind of music does Jude like to listen to?
-When Jude was a tiny baby, The Ramones up loud would ALWAYS make him stop crying. Also, the vent hood about the stove worked pretty well. He is not too picky about his music. He pretty much likes it all. YMCA by The Village People seems to get him dancing. He doesn't like Slayer all that much to my husbands disliking...
Slayer is an aquired taste. There's still hope. Aside from dance parties what other activities do you enjoy doing as a family?
-We live close to the Woodland Park Zoo where we have a membership. They have an indoor play area called the 'Zoomazium' which is a good place to go when it is raining.
Do you like the neighborhood you're in?
-I love Greenwood/Phinney [Seattle, WA neighborhood]. I live and work there. I didn't realize it when we bought our house but living a block and a half away from Greenwood park is f*!king awesome. They are going to expand it too!
That's good news! Do you follow any community blogs or have any website recommends for staying connected?
-Facebook is my most favorite website. It is the only way I can stay in touch with friends and feel "connected". Also, the yahoo group "ballardmoms" is pretty large and helpful.
Maybe I should start a yahoo group. Any one-off tips for fellow hipsters with kids? -My favorite place to buy kids clothes is H&M in Southcenter mall. Cheap and CUTE.
Perfect! Thank you!
