DREW MICHAEL PALMER

[DREW MICHAEL PALMER]

Hey, my name is ANDREW MICHAEL PALMER but everyone calls me DREW. Some people say I look like, JENSEN ACKLES, but I'm not sure I see it. I'm a GUY, duh, and I love GIRLS. I know I'm only 25, but I've seen a lot since JULY 8, 1986. I am a PRESS member for BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE.



I've got a voice in my head that goes by BOBBIE, and they're 25. I've had them for FOUR OR SO YEARS. They also bother ABBY BURKE, or so I'm told.



I love WRITING, RUNNING, BASEBALL, WELL-WORN JEANS, COFFEE, BEER, GOOD LOOKING WOMEN, LEARNNG SOMETHING NEW, BEING TALKED ABOUT, and totally hate WHINEY PEOPLE, IMMATURITY, RAISINS, PEAS, NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Most people say I'm HONEST, COCKY (I'LL CALL IT SELF-ASSURED), ORGANIZED, FLIRTATIOUS, AND DETERMINED, but I think I'm just the SON of MICHAEL, A COLLEGE PROFESSOR, AND SHAUNA, A FLORIST. I have TWO SISTERS, ELIZABETH (22) AND DANIELLE (19). They think I'm crazy since I've got A PERPETUAL 5 O'CLOCK SHADOW, and sometimes pretend not to know me.



My past is pretty complicated, but if you're sure you want to hear it...

Michael and Shauna planned every detail of their lives. Naturally, the birth of their child had been planned and well prepared-for. They passed the quality on to Andrew, as well. He began planning his life when he was about six. Not surprisingly, his life really did go exactly as planned. At least at first. He did well in school, began playing baseball when he was about ten, and continued the sport as he got older. Drew attended Northwestern where he earned a degree in journalism, which earned him a fair amount of teasing from his buddies.

After college, though, his life started to pull away from his plans. Drew's initial plan was to write for the New York Times. It was the sort of thing most journalism majors dreamed about. What he hadn't realized was that you had to be happy just to get a job in that field. After a couple of years of looking, Drew nearly gave up. He applied to Backstage Magazine as a last resort, and got the job. At first, he hated it because it wasn't the big deal he wanted it to be. But he's been working there for a few years now, and it has definitely been growing on him. He's been assigned to follow the Disorder of the Chorus tour and keep up a running column about the issues the bands face away from the stage.
