Who I'd like to meet: Long lost friends, new friends, people that owe me money, Ted Williams frozen head, Keith Richards, D. Boon from the Minutemen, the band X, and anyone else who wants to meet me.
I can't believe the people that like the music video.
I've decided to form a real band... with band mates and not just music equipment. We're going to play live and it shall rule... if all goes well.
The new sound is awesome. My drummer girl is HOT!
The old video is up on my page.
I'm starting the Molly Stevens series thing with Film. doing the music thing and writing more than ever.
I'm so excited! What a fun time in life.
It does get bloody.
The pictures from the photoshoot for the video almost got me BANNED from myspace.
Here's the link... I'll get in trouble if I post the video on your page... TOM said so.
Thanks for being a friend.

Why do a bringer show for a six-minute set when you can record your very own 1/2 or 1 hour standup comedy CD in a popular comedy theater right here in Hollywood.
We set up the stage, sound, lighting, audio and video recording and the theater. All you have to do is show up and dazzle your friends with your act.
A comedy CD will pay for itself the weekend of your first road gig selling them. People want to take a piece of home after shows. Give them what they want and grow your fanbase, make money and have fun while doing it.

Peter!~ I am honored to be in your top friends! I always think it's queer when I see people write that. I think, big deal. Really. Is it that important? But now I get it! I'm officially queer. I want you to know I will be taking some of your master classes in the next few weeks! I was supposed to come tonight, but I have to finalize some script stuff for a promo I'm shooting tomorrow. Hope all is well and I look forward to catching up with you!
