The DISH
The first rule of the Dish is you don't talk about the Dish. The second rule of the Dish is you don't talk about the Dish. That being said...
Named after the DSS Satellite receiver that once brought down upon us a plethora of NBA games, second-run-movies and sundry other entertainments, the Dish is a roving bande of Harvard merrymen who once congregated in and around the Dunster House area seeking high adventure, fierce competition, and respite from the world at large. As a location, the Dish was used as both a storehouse for abundant spirits and a staging area for evening activities. As a group, the Dish's members are a loose assemblage of rogues and roustabouts, including but not limited to the following:
David Demian, of Idyllwild, CA: The senior captain and starting shooting guard of the Harvard Basketball team, as well as the Dish's resident Dylan expert, Dave D. has now decided to test his "Nothing but Love" philosophy in the shark-infested waters of Law School. After a year of living the Magnum P.I. lifestyle at the University of Hawaii, Dave has now returned stateside to attend the University of San Diego. He and Jessica married in June of 2001.
Jessica Eichenberg Demian, of San Diego, CA: David's longtime paramour and occasional photographer of the Dish's exploits, Jessica was the head of our cultural exchange program with Boston University. She too has returned to the San Diego area. She and David married in June of 2001.
Marc Holley, of Richmond, VA: A student of the Classics, "Red Snow," as he is affectionately called, has traveled a unique path not unlike the citizen statesmen of Ancient Greek and Roman literature. Growing weary of both the military and judicial experiences (in ROTC and at law school respectively), Red Snow has embarked on a humanitarian crusade. He recently returned from a stint in the Peace Corps (in Romania) and now resides in Richmond, VA.
Sumit Kapur, of Huron, SD: The aspiring financier of the group, Sumit belied his small-time roots and deftly maneuvered himself into the big-time at J.P. Morgan in New York City. Bored with the safe life, he has since founded TeriMeri, India's answer to Ebay, after a brief stint in Santa Barbara, CA.
Kevin Murphy, of Florence, SC: His story is all around you. To begin your journey anew, click here.
Daniel Sanchez, of Miami, FL: One of our two engineers (and the actual mounter of the Dish), Danny now exercises his considerable mechanical ingenuity at Computer Motion, a Santa Barbara-based company, where he works to create surgical robots. As the MacGuyver of our band, his Dish experience was characterized by a strong affinity for hypothetical questions and a strong aversion to goats.
Jonathan Wolff, of New York, New York: The tale of the Wolff, the Dish's other resident engineer, can be distilled from his two great loves - Bob Marley and Conan. For his unassuming, soft-spoken, and gentle nature masks an in-your-face New York grittiness that comes to light best when the Dish is threatened (or the Jets and Knicks are insulted.) His fondness for all things New York has not been diminished by his relocating to San Diego to work for Spacedev, a commerical space exploration company.
David Weaver (pronounced Weav-ER!), of Palo Alto, California: The other shooting guard of the Harvard team and the lone wolf of the Dish, Weaver's post-college travels took him to Ireland, where his basketball savvy and flair for the unpredictable made him a Gaelic ghetto supastar for Killester. He has since returned to the West Coast, where he now explores the strange exploding ability of Firestone tires.
