We do on stage things that are supposed to happen off. Which is a kind of integrity, if you look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.

And if you're an up and coming band that has a sound *just like* one of the bands in my friends list, or, if you're a fake account that's posing to be a lonely young lady with some revealing pictures that links to an adult web site, by all means, send me a friend request.

I'm working all weekend long, so here's a bit of sunshine for you from me, as I hope to live vicariously through your weekend memories when you tell me what you did come monday. Have EXTRA fun for me, OK?
I swear you're following me. I'm in A2 all the time, specifically in the student ghetto near State and Packard. Maybe we can meet for coffee or any other hyper-organic-hippy-energy blend of liquid sunshine.
I met Mike online in the early 1990s. He was then known as Sir Robin and I thought he was the funniest guy around because he wrote The Car Ride From Hell
Mike has done many a great thing since our early days and every time I get to see him it's like a whole new adventure.
