About me: I'm Scott Kenemore, the author of the bestselling satire THE ZEN OF ZOMBIE (2007, Z.E.O. (2009), and THE ART OF ZOMBIE WARFARE (2010). I'm the drummer for the Chicago-based rock band The Blissters, and I write a blog about zombies at http://scottkenemore.wordpress.com.
Don't you hate it when lame ass Rock bands from Chicago, whom you foolishly befriended months ago, randomly appear in comment form to invite you out to their inane shows as if they believe you're gullible enough (you know gullible isn't in the dictionary, right?!) and/or lacking in a social life to actually come hang? Me too. Good thing we're not much of a band or this would be awkward! Awkward like the first dance between two hormone raging teens going through puberty, haha! Alas, it's us, Oui Si Only You, in our most impersonal social networking form. Sorry to get you all excited to read your new comment only to be disappointed like a jilted lover on prom night. It's not all bad, at least we didn't do one of those weird, "Do you like me?" comments, right? I don't think our fragile hearts could have taken the answer to that one! Any who, we're rocking (I know, debatable right, but whether it's master debatable remains the ultimate conundrum!) our last few shows for the year out at a few splendid, unknown little Chicago establishments called Double Door (1572 N. Milwaukee Ave; 21+) on Wed. Nov. 18th at 8pm and Reggie's Rock Club (2109 S. State St.; 17+) on Sat. Nov. 28th at 7pm. We could all perish happily . . . if that's possible . . . knowing you came out and mocked our uninspired /downright ignorant brand of music along with our A.D.D. riddled stage energy. Peace face.

Hey Scott, Just dropping by your page to thank you for your friendship. I figure you've got enough bands shamelessly prostituting themselves on myspace that I'll spare you another! We actually take a genuine interest in talking to the people we befriend and are always looking to reach out and connect with locals. Feel free to drop by our page and check out our sound (think A Perfect Circle meets Pink Floyd w/ an emcee) or just shoot the breeze with us. Don't be a stranger now! Peace.
