West Beverly

The story

In 1997 Greg and Ken lived in adjacent rooms in a frat house who'd had their chapter taken away. They watched their tv's in their respective rooms, mostly 90210, commenting on the action across ken's open door and the hanging blanket that was Greg's 'door.' They were in the band Not My Ritchie together (they're second band together - the first, Stumble Jon, was their respective firsts in middle school), and on the side, Greg was writing songs and finishing songs that never saw life in his former project, Nigel 6 .
