Heroes
I'm not one for "heroes", I don't take the media THAT seriously, but the above names are good enough for me.
About me: The SHORT version: artist and writer of past zine/comic: SHMUCK-O RAT (currently at www.comicspace.com/DonO or www.webcomicsnation.com/don-o/shmuck-o), SAMANTHA-X (terribly failed project that's being resurrected against it's will), NEGATIVfanboyLAND (a Negativland fanzine killed off due to apathy from readership), JOZINE (an unofficial zine on the history of JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS and DAN DeCARLO (www.geocities.com/jozinezine) and a forth coming art book SPACE AGE ASH TRAY that's already here! (SEE BELOW!) from LANDWASTER COMICS.
...I also manage THE XANADU PRESERVATION SOCIETY (www.geocities.com/xanadupreservation)web site.
As for that LONG version...well, sneak on over to my LiveJournal page for the boring details!
Oh, and to you MySpaceSpammer who are still sending me spam and fake friend requests for future spam...FUCK YOU, TOO! It's becuase of desprate retards like you that I hang out in LiveJournal and go outside!
Love,
Don-O
Who I'd like to meet: ...are the ones that don't mug me.
Don-O. OK, we admit it. You frighten us... but in a good way. And for that matter, we frighten ourselves. Anyhow, love your cool page. Stay groovy. Ricky & Hot Rod
got the goods for Toomorrow, i would've just sent it, but this motivates me! I have a new special edition disc of S-Disco too. I still haven't even gotten around to watching Toomorrow, i keep saying tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow
Hi Friends, Hope all is well. Just letting you know that we have 2 completed tracks from our debut album previewed on our myspace. Come and check em out! Kind Regards Najib and Damien Lords of Whimsy
Greetings, Don-O: Not to date myself, but I did try some of those raggy dresses Kira wore and the leg warmers with the skates. Never looked quite as good as ONJ did wearing the stuff. On the other hand, I did manage to achieve that "glow" ... Marina the Mermaid~
Btw, did you know I used to work at the Pan Pacific bldg back in 1985? I was a night & day watchman for the place, which at the time was abandoned, falling apart and run down (and very creepy at night) It was an independant watchman job (not thru a security company, obtained via a friend) they had a trailer on site. Funny thing is one bored day, a friend & myself spray-painted "Spielberg Rules!" "Lucas is God" "Long Live Mad Max" all over the outside of the bldg as a satire on gang graffiti. The owner got extremely upset, i was fired immediately
Got your book today Mega-Thanks! SpaceDisco One is one the way, do you have copies of everything else? Rollerboogie III etc? I really don't see why there shouldn't be a Xanadu II, Olivia isn't too old is she? ((((I'm allliiive..I'm allliiive))) ---ELO
So it's a capital 'T' that's been hanging you up? Don't worry, it's only paint. And paint is easy to remove. If I was your mother and you were my daughter, you would be sleeping already. I wear these pajamas only on weekends. And you think that's healthy? People don't listen to their body until it's too late. I am not dramatic, I am merely being practical.
After last night's lecture, someone commented to me that I must be an army brat because I had such fantastic teeth. Such teeth, he said, could only be the result of good breeding and access to the finest dental care. I explained that though I descend from a long line of Bulgarian nobility, when I was a boy people were still having infected teeth removed by a donkey tied to a rope. Happenstance, I explained to him, is the main reason behind Mustafio's distinguished countenance.
OK... you're gonna love my memoir, if I do say so myself! Chapters include some of your fave things: Xanadu (I was in it!), Chuck Barris (I was on the Gong Show!), Cheryl Ladd (I was on her TV special) AND there are pics of all too! Not to mention an article called me "The femal David Sedaris -- or SHE-Daris"! So what are you waiting for? Go get Queen of the Oddballs!! XO HC
