Alumni Bios
- Courtney Bell
- Courtney is not terribly well acquainted with the planet Earth. She spends
most of her days in an elaborate fantasy world that, were you to visit, you
would certainly prefer to this one. To you, her small single in the upstairs
annex may seem no more than a glorified closet but to her it's a vast sweeping
plain where herds of unicorns run free. One lonely mountain peak, rising in
the distance, is capped by a breathtaking palace. It is in this palace, also
known as room #13, that Princess Courtney resides.
- Andrew Bresnen
- Andrew ("Good Andrew", "Single Andrew", "Andy-B", "Bressy Boy",
"The Bresinator") has the largest, awesomest room in the house.
He's had it since the year 1614. Someday soon he will die and
I will have his room. Bwahaha!
- Steven DeGennaro
- Steve (Steve-O) is a guitar-strumming, go-playing, misanthrope whose
happiness hinges on the presence or absence of Eggo waffles in our freezer. He's
famous 'round these parts for abstaining in absentia on crucial house
votes. If you don't know what that means or why it's a subtle mockery
of the whole democratic process, you've obviously never lived in a co-op.
Steve lives in room #9.
- Andrew Fogelsong
- Andrew ("Evil Andrew", "Double Andrew") lives upstairs in room #8. He has
strange taste in music and wears distinctive shirts. His appearance
alternates between "crazy 'fro" and "crazy 'fro with scruffy beard." Andrew
is also famous for the biting wit of his Friendster testimonials.
- Alexis Kanter
- That's Madame Alexis to you! Author of the internationally syndicated
advice column "Whoo Sex," Ms. Kanter is the undispuated queen of the
French House downstairs. She is one spicy meatball! Currently French
House's education officer and formerly ICC's education coordinator,
Alexis is also an accomplished improvisational comedienne, four-time
air hockey champion, and noted astronomer. For example, she was the
first to discover that Earth can fit inside Jupiter ONE MILLION TIMES!
(Previously thought to be only 1300). She resides in room #2.
- Norbert Kirschler
- Norbert is French House's lovable exchange
student. He hails from Austria, where apparently no one ever has to
study. When not suffering under the oppressive regime of America's
school system, Norbert likes to play golf and "look" at the "photos"
on James' computer. He's been studying English longer than most of
us even knew Austria existed. He lives in room #3 with James.
- Silas Kulkarni
- Silas is craaaaaaazy! He looks uncannily like a pirate and acts like
strangely like a sloth. He's lived at French House since fleeing the
wrath of the Royal Colonial Police. Last year, while serving as ICC's
Board Coordinator (i.e. Head Dude) he rocked the hizzouse. He lives
in room #10 with Ryan.
- Sara Reyes
- Sara is a delightful debutante from San Antonio, Texas. She's heiress to
the world's largest salsa empire, but is sweet enough not to hold that over
our heads. After a long absence, she has returned to Austin in dramatic
fashion to pursue a degree in chemistry. She lives in room #12 with Hillary.
- Margaret P. Wardlaw
- Margaret ("Shmarg") is our banjola-strumming armpit-hair-sportin'
membership officer. She's obsessed with midwifery (pronounced
mid-WHIFF-er-ee). If you want to live at French House, she's the
friendly face that will give you a tour, answer your questions and
seduce you to join the dark den of debauchery that is French House
Co-Op. She lives in room #6.
- Hillary Weaver
- If you live at French House, you better do your labor and you better
wash your dishes because if you slip up for even one second, Hillary is
gonna show you up--I mean she's gonna *smoke* yo ass--with one of her
famously cruel and direct white board messages. She can often be seen
riding around town in a horse and carriage (no that's not French House lingo
for her "wheels" or her "ride", I'm talking about an actual horse. Neigh.)
She lives in room #12 with Sara.
- Ryan P. Young
- Ryan is a huge dickhead. Among his numerous flaws is a propensity to call
other people "insensitive clods" without any justification whatsoever. He's
self-righteous, conceited, and under the bizarre delusion that he is both
sexy and a good dresser. Oh yeah, he smells bad too. He resides in room #10
with Silas.
