In 1988 Pat moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and attended the Musicians Institute. There he met fellow students [[Matt Sharp]] as well as (among others) Dave "Burdie Cutlass" Georgeff and Tom "Soda Pop" Gardocki, later members of [[Wax]]. After, he returned to Buffalo, NY and stayed there from Summer 1989 - Spring 1990, woodshedding songs and working random jobs, regrouping his plans. While living in Buffalo he met [[Patrick Wilson]], who was working at a music store called Music Mart in the suburb of Amherst, giving drum lessons to youngsters. In March [[1990]], Finn moved to Los Angeles, and implored Wilson to come with him. Wilson has stated that he knew he had no prospects in the Buffalo area, and was eager to get his music career started, so he instantly and without hesitation accepted Finn's offer, despite having no plan, few possessions, and almost no money. Soon, Finn met [[Rivers Cuomo]] while working at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd, later introducing him to Wilson. | In 1988 Pat moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and attended the Musicians Institute.
