About The Spitshine Kid

i've worked my way up from anonymity to being completely unknown in less than three and a half years due to perseverance and true grit. i have no genre. whether it's alternative, folk, 70's rock, tape-music or funk, the Spitshine Kid looks equally as fetching in a tartan skirt as he does in leisure slacks. He also looks good in a coffin according to Deceased Magazine

in 1 year all 5 of my entries in the Billboard International Songwriter's competition got honorable mentions. i don't want to brag but i excel at trashcan basketball. i can sink a wet tea-bag at half-court. I also do volunteer work for Slackers Without Borders and in 2004 i was White House recipient of the Adolf Hitler Humanitarian Award.
i also play lead guitar for the New York City-based experimental punk-fusion combo, Fire Camp
i did soundtrack songs for the film "Rat Girl" directed by indie New York director, Steven Savitz. okay, to be honest, i am steve savitz. www.stevesavitz.com

KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 30 2008 6:18 AM Sassy has numerous friends! No, this all got started when I said that the mountains chewed me up and spit me out like an angry yeti...
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 29 2008 11:43 PM omg...somebody else needs to write on your wall...It's been attacked by me! mwahahahahaaaa...
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 27 2008 6:54 PM
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 18 2008 9:32 PM Sassy posted a bulletin. I was cracking up. Maybe you laughed hard enough for the yeti to throw you up.
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 18 2008 7:14 PM I thought you might enjoy what my friend Sasquatch has to say... http://www. amazon. com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A210OGUFJ7VO2F/
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 10 2008 3:52 PM Maybe it's because being in the Yeti's stomach reminded you of being in your mother's womb.....ewww.
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 9 2008 10:25 PM P.S. I've seen Angry Yeti perform. The lead singer ate one of the audience members...so I decided I shouldn't go back.
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 9 2008 10:23 PM Dagg doesn't have a spot for me...and I need a lot of moohlah! So, I'll probably have 2 jobs for a while.
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 9 2008 4:00 PM P.S.....I'm uberly jealous that you took Dagger to go see Iggy. I crawl into a fetal position every night and weep until I fall asleep.
KATHLEEN SHADOWS	Nov 9 2008 3:57 PM haha....Yo, the mountains chewed me up and spit me out like an angry Yeti. I'm back in the city for good. I belong here. How's life, Spitty?
