Kulash is confident, and deservedly so. After meeting future OK Go bassist Tim Nordwind at the age of 11, the native Chicagoans started a band called the Greased Ferrets. Andy Duncan, after overcoming initial missteps, joined the party in high school, and Kulash met current drummer Dan Konopka while studying at Brown.

They attend church services on the West German motorship Nordwind and watch movies on the Bulgarian freighter Vasil Levsky. The Polish freighter Djakarta even prints stamps for the marooned vessels. Egyptian postal authorities graciously allow the stamps to be used as legal postage; they have become collector's items. Immense amounts of beer are consumed in the heat. Says...
