E-mail Brian
Hailing from North Carolina, Brian Wu is the American South’s sole representative in the Meddies. Something of an anomaly as a brainy, half-Asian vegetarian in Dixie, Brian came to Maine seeking a change of scenery, only to find that people in Maine were pretty much the same as the people in North Carolina, except less friendly and worse at basketball. Though at first he missed the simplicity of his family’s sprawling tobacco plantation, Brian eventually found his niche at Bowdoin and in the Meddies, whom he is known to regale with yarns about tipping Old Man Tippett’s prize sow over mason jars of sour mash.
All that folksy charm flew the coop sophomore year, when Brian arrived on campus after a summer internship as a pimp in San Francisco in 1976 with a pierced eyebrow, a stylish faux-hawk, and a whole lotta soul. Rumor has it he sold his old soul to the devil for a sexier soul and an ark full of green magic markers. Not only did he start eating meat again, but he developed a disquieting taste for uncooked animal flesh. And surprise surprise, he started a band. They are called Mr. Suds, after Brian’s porn alias. They play Satan’s music—which is to say, they play A-ha. He can also talk to spiders—like the movie “Willard,” except with spiders.
Brian Wu is a demon.
