I love music. playing music, promoting music, seeing live music. I go to shows at least once a week. I draw rad pictures. I love cartooning. I love caricature and portraiture. I make comics sometimes. I hang with people who make the rok AND the roll... and I am ready to KICK OUT THE JAMS.
Here's what a few folks are saying about the Stef:
I can see Stef dolls, lunchboxes, alarm clocks... Stefmania! - caz (the alco)
Yeah, seriously, Stef is an underground sensation. - thegreatjoebivins
She's like that evil slime from Ghostbusters II. Not that she's gonna be helping a painting kidnap babies or anything - just that the slime was pretty awesome. - magicbez

Our little Chuckles is growing up! So we're celebrating the removal of Chuck from the Teet! Tesco Vee & The Meatmen Chapstik Chico's Revenge Pretty Ugly All of us! YOU should probably be there too! DON'T WORRY! He doesn't drink, so you don't have to buy him any booze! But godammit He fuckin' LOVES presents!!
Even if you're not going, you should help us! And if you want to be really helpful, repost this as a bulletin or your own blog!
It took me a minute to figure it out but once you get to www. warpedtour. com you need to click on the "DATES" button. From there, scroll down to the Seattle date on August 15th and click on it. On the lower right hand side, click "Post Comment." You will be told you need to register which takes about 5 minutes. Return to the "Post Comment" page and post a comment saying that you want Pretty Ugly to play. And if you really want to, repeat for the Portland show. So far we have about 80% of the votes but we need to keep going strong! A very big thank you to everyone who takes the time to help us get there!

fuck yeah do you are going o ma top k dude hey yo0h think yo0h kan send meh the video yo0h taped that night dude? please so0 how yo0h be3n how wasthe next day after the consert? lol
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! Thank you for finding me, how was your mammoth drive back up north? Had such an awesome night that night, it was ace meeting you :) xxxx
A lunch date is definately in order. Just let me know when you're free to stop by.
I wouldn't complain about a new camcorder, even if it took breaking the old one to get it. I thought I broke Lola, my GPS, but all is okay. It's a funny story that I'll tell you at a later time. Let's just say that it's totally me.
Haven't seen you in a while. How are things going with you? So sorry to hear about the camcorder. Look on the bright side, you could have broken another foot at a concert. I'm just sayin.
I was bummed to miss it, but between having to drag Trent down there and Joel trying to save up his time off it just wouldn't have worked out. I did get to see their last show here though, so it's not so bad. I would love a Stef and Mimo visit!! Getting together is so much harder with all this grown-up stuff, isn't it? We're a few years behind on the birthday thing, maybe I'll make a massive cake for your visit.
