russ is the first person from the list who i met in real life. i went up to dc to spend the weekend with my grandparents and wound up spending most of my time with him.

here are my journal entries from that weekend:
• January 7, 2000
• January 8, 2000
• January 9, 2000

i was quite surprised to learn that russ was not particularly bug-obsessed before bug came into his life. that changed :)
