[edit] Origins
Steven "Angel Hair" Saltsman joined the Ship of Fools on September 22, 2007. The nickname "Angel Hair" was bestowed upon him by the group during scouting. The origin of the name comes from the distinguishing characteristic of Steven's flowing locks. Steven has shown great potential at a number of improv games, notably 60 Second Alphabet.
[edit] First Show
Steven's first show was the Hawkins Hall Show on October 11, 2007.
[edit] Vegetarianism
Steven is a curious practitioner of not eating meat, something he acquired possibly by accepting a handbill by a downtrodden, rain soaked heckler. This is fortunately not a source of friction between his teammates, who often forgettingly (but with good intentions) offer him meat-laden foodstuffs. He also wears a leather jacket that he insists was "grandfathered in".
[edit] Duality of Interests
Steve pursues an acting major, on top of a chemical engineering major. Quite fitting for an improv comedian, since a breadth of knowledge (especially at a primarily engineering school such as Purdue) comes second only to acting on stage.
[edit] Bromantically Involved
Despite having, in the time before John "Cowboy" Clawson's last year, been predetermined to not get along, these two decided to give each other a chance in John's last year. This started out with simply hanging out, and by the end of the semester, had the phrase "We're not gay, we're just bromantically involved" tossed around, sometimes in earnest to members of the theatre department.

Steven was brought into The Order of Charlie in the fall of '08
