Has anyone seen this??
http://www.myspace.com/christhile
I'm pretty sure this is definitely a poser. It's funny that so many people think it's actually him!

I added him on my myspace account and I have commented a few times, but I realize it isn't him.

[NCkitty]

nah i think its just a lame-o wannabe... but it would be cool if it was him

[Rainingatsunset]

Oh man... I love my mandolin. Seriously. Hahahaha.

[Rainingatsunset]

Additionally, I love how after I said, I thought you moved to New York? He changed it. Hahaha. It is so not him.

[nightmoon]

I noticed that... I thought it was pretty funny!

[buttermuffin4]

Wow, ok, I don't believe he's 6'4.

[Nigel Tufnel]

And he enjoys a drink now and then... and he called Nickel Creek a bluegrass band ... and such a site even exists... :rolleyes:

[FutureMandoChic]

6'4''? Try 5'9''....

XD i can't stop laughing! i feel bad for the guy.

[iamblt]

hahaha I saw that guy on there a couple of weeks ago ( commented on NC's myspace), and I found it pretty funny. I was thinking of sending him a friend request but decided not to fuel the fire..(not that there really is one, but still)

[iamblt]

btw, is Chris really 5'9 ?? I thought he'd at least be 6'; he seems pretty lanky..

[FutureMandoChic]

I'm 5'8''...

[Rainingatsunset]

I'm 5'10 , and he is considerably taller than me. Probably 6' or so.

He's probably 6 feet. Lanky is definately a word I'd use to describe him.

[FutureMandoChic]

we were both wearing flats... sorry, I think he's shorter than you remember... maybe he shrank?

:)

[paulnewcomb]

When the words MY BIOGRAPHY are on his description it is pretty hard to assume that it is chris thile. Mabye I'm missing something....

[nightmoon]

Chris has to be at least 6' tall. I'm 5'7 http://myspace-279.vo.llnwd.net/00308/97/29/308949279_m.jpg

And did you notice the my biography part was written in the third person? The cut-and-paste job is not noticeable at all... nooooooo. lol
[splat] @ this poser!

[iamblt]

^^ hm...maybe he was the one wearing heels! [splat]

[artsy_jfi]

he is definitely at least six foot. i am 5'10 and i saw them at the wiltern this weekend and he is taller than me. oh....and in reference to the poser on myspace....yeah...super funny when you read the bio because it switched from using me to he ....lol

[Mr. Majestic]

Maybe this thespian Thile poser is somebofy on the board???? Been reading up on what to fix about the profile... Or could it be run by his family??? I think the aforementioned solution has a much higher probability. :)

BTW I would suggest that Chris is right at 5'10 to 6' No taller... because I am 5'11 to 6' (haven't measured in awhile) and he was eye level.

[sportbug43618]

did anyone notice that Nickel Creek is one of his friends? I guess they got a kick out of it too.

[creaker]

Anybody notice he said I love playing my mandolin, and singing in my bluegrass band called Nickel Creek. ? [lolol]

PS: Why don't quotes work?

And he would probably be the first one to say that they aren't bluegrass, that they have no real label. And what do you mean the quotes aren't working?????

[Red Zep]

^ I tried putting two quotation marks then four apostrophes thats look like quotation marks. :)

[creaker]

There should have been quotes around 'I love playing my mandolin, and singing in my bluegrass band called Nickel Creek' in my previous post.

[fiddlincklcrker]

Oh I get it, sorry I didn't get it.

[Gwaihir89]

The New York part gave it away. It looks like there are few people who don't know where he is from. But hey it's just a joke.

[lolol] i bet they did!

[fiddlincklcrker]

Also if you look at the pictures they are all studio or pro pictures there aren't really any pictures that were taken by them, in the Nickel Creek profile there are pictures that you can tell they obviously took. I think that it kind of gives it away. I hope what I wrote makes sense.

[JaneeCrackCorn]

That is me!
Doh
Just messing with ya... it ain't me. I wanna myspace but I am not real good with crap like
that. I forget about it and then I get to many
emails and whatever. Maybe I otta sign up and
totally start messing with the dude.
Hey, remember that night after that Seattle

got some bad news......

When did he start living in New York? I always thought that all of them lived in San Diego or a smaller town near it.

[matt the fiddler]

He moved up there a couple months ago.. [announed this at shows so it is public knowlege now]

Funny thing is mark oconnor just moved up to new york as well..

Here is the biography from the MySpace account.

A new description of Chris Thile would be hard to come by, especially since all the good superlatives have already been used. They called him a child prodigy when he was 12 years old and making his first solo album, Leading Off, and a virtuoso when he was 20 and putting out his third solo effort, Not All Who Wander Are Lost. On the heels of those descriptions came effusive adjectives for his talent with a mandolin, words like brilliant, bold, utterly fantastic, and staggering. Heady stuff for someone who was barely out of his teens. But to hear Thile's joyful playing, or to see his fingers fly with easy speed and agility over his mandolin as they did when he appeared with his bandmates from Nickel Creek on the 35th CMA awards show in 2001, is to learn firsthand that the enthusiastic praise aimed at the young mandolin player isn't just hype. In addition to his work as a solo artist, Thile has been part of Nickel Creek, with siblings Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins, for more than ten years. He helped Nickel Creek earn a pair of Grammy nominations for a self-titled debut album, which was released by Sugar Hill in 2000 and claimed a niche in Billboard's country Top 20. In 2001, he took home the title of Mandolin Player of the Year from the Instrumental Bluegrass Music Association, while the band was honored as Instrumental Group of the Year. He and his bandmates were nominated that same year for the CMA's Vocal Group of the Year and the Horizon Award. Thile started earning awards and championships years ago. He took home top honors in mandolin competitions in both Arizona and Kansas when he was 13, a time when he also received a nod from the International Bluegrass Music Association with a nomination for Player of the Year. He and Nickel Creek played during a Grammy Awards ceremony while backing country superstar Dolly Parton, and Thile and Sara Watkins made appearances in a Parton music video. Country Music Television also took notice of Thile and his fellow bandmembers, airing videos of the band's When You Come Back Down and Reasons Why. Initially, Nickel Creek also included Scott Thile, the mandolinist's bass-playing father. The elder Thile bowed out after the group launched its first album. The younger Thile acted as producer on Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Among the album's guest artists are the other two-thirds of Nickel Creek, Edgar Meyer, Jeff Coffin, Union Station's Jerry Douglas, and Béla Fleck. One of Thile's enduring influences, John Moore, was one of his first mandolin instructors during Thile's childhood in California and who plays in the band Bluegrass Etc. Moore formerly was a member of California, a first-rate bluegrass band, along with Dan Crary and Byron Berline. The trio Thile formed with the Watkins siblings borrows its name from a song written by Berline.

[nightmoon]

I am waiting for my myspace friend count to shrink by one soon. People are nuts, but it's quite entertaining at times.

[maui babe]

you gotta hand it to whoever it is...i certainly couldn't do something like that. Takes a certain mix of courage and crazy...
wish it was him but hey I think Chris is Really busy... minutes equal hours, especially on that much espresso. But there is only one Chris Thile!
I suppose we could use some clones though...

[honortheking]

i'm 5'11, chris and i were the same size if i wasn't actually a smidge taller than him.

i always thought he would be like 6'2 or something. i was pleasantly surprised.

[iamblt]

hm....

Something strange in this photo - which is still very cool btw. Look at how much difference there is in shoulder height compared to head height? \:confused:

[Mr. Majestic]

^ It Happens.... I am the same height as some of my friends, but one of gets his height from his legs. (32in vs 34) The other gets his height from his torso....

I was there when she took that pic I am 5' 11 and Chris was at least an inch, more like two shorter.

[NCkitty]

*shrugs* i think hes 5'11.
