Thanks to the magic of Interweb technology, if we do not put the U.S. Women’s Open tag on a particular entry, it does not get sucked onto the project page. So this is for regular reader eyes only. And it’s a beauty. In honor of the impending NBA draft Redactular (4.5 hours and counting, and you best believe we’ll be thirsty after a day on the course), the Hunt Down:

Name: Cherokee Parks

Claim to Fame, Minnesota: played for the Wolves from 1996-1998. As you probably guessed, the Wolves traded a first round pick to get him. On a positive note, we got a fantastic Nike commercial out of the deal, and the pick turned out to be Kelvin Cato.

Claim to Fame, Everywhere Else: went to Duke and flamed out in the NBA. In other news, water is wet. Also had many, many tattoos.

Where He Is Now: it says here that he has a “2.4-mile scenic loop, with separate lanes for vehicle traffic (one-way) and recreational users.” Wait, that’s not right. OK, here we go: looks like he moved back to his hometown of Huntington Beach, CA and opened a punk rock club called the Brigg. You’d be forgiven for thinking it looks exactly like the punk rock club where Seth and Ryan hung out on The O.C. Yes, I watched The O.C. Sorry, haters. Anyway, the Brigg is apparently no longer, so we’ll assume Cherokee has moved on to bigger and better tattoos.

Glorious Randomness: his sister Corey was in a band whose name cannot be mentioned in affiliation with the NOTTC. Google it yourself, pervs. A friend of mine saw them play at the Entry and his review was, “Loud. Fire. Amazons.” More bands should be like that.

Proprietor note: Sorry about that photo.
