Well, it was bound to happen some time. After five hard years, I've finally graduated from MSU (pending the completion of my Astrophysics thesis). It's all still sinking in. On Friday May 3, I spoke at the Arts and Letters commencement. The speech was well received, much to my relief. My brother, who likes playing with digital video, has put a Quicktime version of the speech online here. Be warned that it's a bit bandwith intensive at 35 megs.

On Saturday May 4 I walked for my Astrophysics degree. The A&L ceremony was a lot more emotional for me, but the reality of the whole thing sunk in a bit more at the Nat Sci ceremony in Breslin center.

My last major extracurricular activity before graduation was playing alto and bari saxes in the Band for Hair. I've got some pics of the band up here if you're interested in checking them out. Playing in the band was a heck of a lot of fun. Here's what the preshow music was like: one of us would name a song, someone would ask what key and then we'd play it. Woo hoo!

Right now I'm still hanging around MSU for one last season of Summer Circle Theatre (follow that link to see pictures from previous years' fun on the banks of the Red Cedar) as well as to finish the aforementioned thesis stuff.
This page is still waiting for the major overhaul that I've been planning for a while. I haven't gotten around to it yet because, good golly, things have been busy. My primary web based efforts of late have been focused on fixing up my on-line lighting portfolio.

That's about it for now. If you're new here, feel free to take a look around, though some of this info is outdated now. It'll all be beaten into shape this summer. I promise.
In a miscellaneous note, the "classic edition" link at the bottom of the page takes you back to ancient history; my page as it was freshman year and before, when the web was young and the blink tag was oh so cool.

  My name is Andrew John Hungerford and I'm twenty-two years old.
  I've just wrapped up my final year at Michigan State University. Five years, thirty shows, two degrees, 205 credits.
  My two degrees are in Astrophysics and one in Theatre.
  I act. I like acting, it's fun. But, it looks like I'm going to be a Lighting Designer when I grow up. Who would've thought?
  I play the Alto Saxophone, and, as I've said, just finished jamming on Bari for MSU's production of "Hair."
  I am a proud alumnus of the Spartan Marching Band.
  As you may have gleaned from my page design, I really like the color green.
  I sometimes write. Well, frequently write, really. And I'm recently published. Here's a link to the anthology on Amazon.
  I do improv comedy. And I did sketch comedy in high school.
  I really like words. Especially big, old, odd or cumbersome ones. And semicolons.
  I know some people think me strange, but strangeness, like space-time, is relative.
  In school I had a band.  In an offhand sort of way. There's about twenty other bands with the same name.

Truth be told, this page is best viewed on my computer.
It's the one system where I know it looks they way I want it to.
If, however, you want to simulate those viewing conditions,
use Mozilla 1.0 RC2 and be working at 1024x768.
And for more accuracy, get relatively strong prescrition lenses.
But, really, it's not that important.
