   About Forrest Friends
----Here is my story. I was born in central Europe and grew up as a normal kid of my time. When I turned 16 my family moved to the United States and that was the time when my life radically changed.The first week of my living in a totally new for me country I met new "friends". Pretty soon they became everything for me. I thought that their life is the best life anyone could wish for and that was the kind I craved. The first day I was with them I started smoking cigarettes along with marijuana and got drunk. My life continued in the same direction for a few years until I got addicted to drugs and alcohol, had my driver's license suspended, was expelled from high school for fighting because I couldn't find joy and everybody pissed me off, spent some time in jail, lost my car, started borrowing money until I was ten thousand in debt (a huge amount of money for a teenager) and got hooked up with the wrong girls. Life sucked.
----One day I was driving in a car with my older brother and he told me that I'm looking for joy in all the wrong places. A little later for some reason I got to church and sat in the very last row. In that church service some group with all kinds of funny instruments was playing on the stage. They sang a song with a message that we are not just losers on this earth but we are somebody and there is a purpose to our life. I didn't know what was happening to me but I started crying. At the end there was a call for people that wanted to repent and change their lives. I went upfront. I gave my life to God... Two years later I had a beautiful wife and daughter. God blessed me with a house and cars. I was out of debt. Another year later God gave me a son. I am living the best life I could ever dream about. My wife and I are married for already six years and I am absolutely loving it. Jesus Christ set me free from my addictions. He cleansed me and gave me a new beginning... That's when I started a band called Forrest Friends.

----A lot of young people are going through the same stuff that I went through. They think very low of themselves. They think that they can't achieve anything when they are teenagers. They think that marijuana, cigarettes, alcohols and dirty sex will give them joy but it's all temporary. Our vision is to change that, to show them a better life and to tell them that they are, in fact, somebody. We are a rock band from Seattle.
----Starting in January we want to rent out high school and college auditoriums and throw cool Friday and Saturday night music events that will impact young people. Our parties will feature other Northwest bands, hot MC's, DJ's and break-dancers. The style of music will range all the way from rap, dance to hard core rock. Music changed our lives and we believe it will change theirs.

P.S. We want to show you what we are all about and that's just a little piece of our goal. If you want to be a part of this vision and have a heart to help us with your talent (anything from rapping to break dancing to being a simple volunteer would help) please contact us.

I'd very much like a cassette duplicate of your Nov 21st music performance recording, please. That was the best set I've ever seen.

The Uncanny (Ger. Das Unheimliche -- literally, "un-home-ly") is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be familiar, yet foreign at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange.
