"COLTON AVENUE"
THE RELEASE PARTY

The release party for "Colton Avenue" was held January 19th, 2001 at the University of Redlands Alumni House on Merilyn Bonney Drive.  Seven of the nine members who recorded "Colton Avenue" - Christopher Chardi, Ross Crutchlow, Ryan Duckworth, Jeremy Kruizenga, Tim Olguin, Steve Rodriguez and Robert Yocum - were there to commemorate this special event.  Absent were Teron Cohen, who is currently studying cantoring in Israel, as well as Joel Santana, who resides in Yuma, Arizona and could not make it.  Those Guys! past and present mingled with students, faculty, alumni and other friends while "Colton Avenue" was piped in over the house sound system.  Memorabilia from the past decorated the house, including Ross Crutchlow and Christopher Chardi's "Bosom Buddies" dresses from the "TV Medley" concert, a smorgasbord of shoes from one of our various performances of "My Shoes," rare photos, old set lists and flyers, newsletters from '95-'96 and various newspaper articles about us from over the years.

Our very first customer, who chose to purchase both of our albums at once.  He chose...wisely.
