Tim Stopulos

As this was our first weekend with a new name, you might be asking "How does it feel to be the Tim Stop Trio?" (you probably are not asking that, but just humor me for a second). Changing your name is a big deal, and there are a lot of emotions that go with it. The best way I can think of to describe it is by comparing it to a birthday. Let's say you just turned 21. You had your party and chances are you got drunker than you should have, cuz every one of your friends made sure you did. You wake up the next morning, 21 for the first time, and you have a huge headache and you look like you were mauled by a small, relatively harmless animal. Once the hangover subsides and you clean yourself up, you walk downstairs and have a belgian waffle to clear your mind. Everyone talks about how this is such an important birthday and you're gonna be an adult and you're gonna be able to do this and that and it's gonna be great. And what's the question they ask? "So....how does it feel to be 21 huh?" And invariably, the answer to that question is "Ehh....I dunno, I feel pretty much the same." That is always the answer and always will be, even if you expect to be a different person for some reason. And everyone knows that's the answer, so I don't know why that question still gets asked. But it does, and will continue to be. Anyway, that's how it feels to have changed our name. We made this big deal about it, and now that it's done, I feel the same as I did before. So I guess I'm just looking forward to the smoke clearing and being done with it.
