A fourth-generation California native, Ron Louthan lives in Fairfield, Iowa where he contemplates the age old question: are Vasco Pyjama and Bingo Pajama related? He studied English Literature at the University of Oregon and UCLA where he learned how to be charming at cocktail parties (something he has completely forgotten) and little else. He is a vegetarian who hates tofu but is quite fond of Maui Rippers, Ozomatli, Peach Cobbler and Tattoos.
