I was her first boyfriend in Athens. Her father is an art professor at Berry College in Rome, GA. She moved to Athens at seventeen & we met at a Crash Worship show because she like the way I danced. We went back to my attic apartment that night which was infested with fleas. She liked my artwork. My other roommates, including Barry Sell, had already moved out because they knew what was coming. I had foolishly decided to try & ride it out. Amber rescued me from the fleas & I moved into her rented Nantahala St. house. She was playing songs on an acoustic back then by her favorite band, the Indigo Girls, which tickles me to this day. We broke up a few months later on July 4th during a rainstorm when I asked her If i should just leave & she said, "yes." She hadn't been communicative for a couple of weeks & I knew something was wrong. She stole my combat boots & some books & tapes, because when I went back for them she feigned not knowing where they were. She married Noah Ray shortly after that who had been the little skater kid in R.E.M.'s
It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) video. She readily admitted to me that she came to Athens to meet R.E.M. & start a music career & I guess Noah helped her open some doors by introducing her to Jared Bailey & Barrie Buck who owned & booked the 40 watt, for instance. Basically, she threw me over for Noah who she probably met when I was still living with her, but we still were seeing each other because when I left her house I ended up (eventually) at one of her friends' (this gay guy named Jodi's apartment). They divorced after a year or so & he opened up a coffee shop, Blue Sky Coffee (rich parents). Years later she came to the Taco Stand where I was working downtown & as you take the order you have to get the name of the person & I asked her name & she got all offended saying, "C'mon, David, you know who I am." Thing is, under all that make-up & the wig, I thought it was her, but then again there were so many Courtney Love clones around Athens at that time, I wasn't absolutely sure.
