Jeremy Jenkins arrived on eZabel in April 2003 from Warwick, New York, and immediately established himself as one of the site's great exclamation point maximalists. Every sentence he wrote landed like someone had just kicked down a door to deliver incredible news — snowboarding season was coming, a local band had a new name, Dan Hill was picking up phone numbers at Jones Beach, and all of it deserved at least six exclamation marks. As deanh77 observed: "even when writing, all the Jenkinses' sentences end in exclamation points." It was less a stylistic choice than a personality trait. Jeremy did not experience mild enthusiasm. Things were either the greatest ever or not worth mentioning.

His great cause on eZabel was promoting the local band that could not settle on a name. First it was the Jay Karas Band, then "Quarter Past Eight," then "Wednesday Night," and Jeremy chronicled every iteration with the fervor of a publicist who also happened to be the band's biggest fan. He posted his actual phone number — 914-850-0138 — for anyone who wanted details on the May 9th show at Club Culture in Chester, NY, which he reported drew "a wapping 80+ people." He created the news article announcing their final show, attended 19 events including everything from LAN parties to beach bonfires to jp's annual Yankees Extravaganza, and ran with the Warwick crew that orbited skaorsk8 and cerbrato. When the conversation turned to cars, Jeremy challenged the entire website to a race — "I will take anyones car on this whole entire website and crap on them all!!!!!!" — despite apparently driving something that thefunkyfresh described as a marvel of engineering whose leaking oil cut down on weight and whose bald tires reduced wind resistance. malibu offered to race him in a bus. The GTI, much like the band name, was aspirational.

eZabel Personality Type: ESFP — "The Hype Man." Jeremy was pure volume and zero filter — he compared himself to Tyrese (and created a poll to confirm it), declared the upcoming winter would beat the blizzard of '96 based on the Farmer's Almanac, organized a Christmas Day snowboarding trip to Stratton, and once told thefunkyfresh "Matt I love you!!!!!" with the same conviction he brought to everything else. He burned bright for two short years, mostly in 2003, and then vanished — but not before making sure everyone within driving distance of Chester, New York knew exactly when and where Quarter Past Eight was playing next.
