La Kid, in Chicago, hung out last night
with one of the famous Lucas Brothers.
They’re identical twins.
I have no idea which one she’s with.
********************
She just called. It’s Keith.
UD asked La Kid what they talked about at the crowded chic Chicago bar pictured.
“Law school,” she said. “He attended law school.”
Here’s what UD found out about that.
Both [brothers] attended top-ten law schools, Keith at Duke and Kenny NYU. It was the only substantial period of time that they’ve spent away from each other, but they didn’t grasp the difficulty of being apart until, after both dropped out, they reunited and began their standup careers in New York. Keith stays in touch with a few friends but Kenny none, citing the indisputable fact that, “law students are just miserable, boring people. And they stress out over shit they imposed on themselves.” Although their mother supported their decision to pursue the dream, their friends were dumbfounded. They were only a semester away from obtaining their J.D.s. “The dean actually called me and tried to talk me into finishing,” Keith recalls, “but we wanted to remove the safety net when we cut the cord.” It was a crazy move but also indisputably awesome and bold, creating a piece of trivia that will surely follow them around for the rest of their careers.
