Text by Achim, Olli, Jens & Jyrki.
Achim. An ex-German banker and the second floor party animal whose virtuosity is heard of on the other side of the campus, and in San Diego, too.... "Everything is unique according to the concept of time and space.", he said, and we felt liberated.

Andy. Major habbits: popcorn, Stephen King, Nick Cave and Nintendo experiences. And as an American: he's an ex-wrestler...

Duke. Headed straight for the top in his musician career as a monster of Avantgarde-Tecno-Rock. Watch out for the billboards... He has already made it to Chicago now. So buckle up, Illinois, the energy-loaded Missourian tornado hits town!!! Amazing also: He will cure people as a speach therapist. Wonder if he'll apply a screaming rock'n roll therapy...

Jens. Famous Danish photographer now conquering Missouri. His camera is always present in the moment you did not expect.

Jeremy. The beam ring above his head indicates innocence. However, the up-and-coming mechanican engineer is ready to blow up the whole house when the wind turns towards Kansas City.
Jyrki, the Finnish spirit dancer, in one of the moments when he explained the metaphysical nature of life on Rosemary Lane. With an upward focus like his, the way can only lead to Vegas... Viva!

Ma, the Emperor of China is silent when speaks, is silent when we speak too much. Knows the art of cooking and the essence of molecular chemistry.
Mikael wishes he was living in the golden ages of rock'n'roll, blues and other good stuff. Motto of this stressed, snuff chewing, and always smoking journalism-student: "I don't have time right now, I'm on a deadline!" (The only journalist with a black leather braclet with studs.)
Thomas is almost always up for a beer. If not in the living room he is often found directly beneath the living-room in his basement-hideout along with cockroaches, ants, and several inches of water. (He did not arrange for this ambiente, though.)
C. Ockroach is another resident in the basement. Or, well, he was... His family is still around, though.

Andy, the coming artist waits for his breakthrough. Moved away in December, R.I.P, dances the bolero with Carmen from Germany now! Have fun in the old world, Andy!
