I wish played bass in a punk pop band. my punk band would kick your punk band's ass. gently. the way long-time lovers kick each other's asses. and we'd go on a battle tour and gently kick each other's behinds, into the sunset. it'd be magic.

True Popfest Story to Make You Feel Guilty/Dangerous/Qualified: after your first song the other night, Frank lost his handle on a stick, causing it to fly out into the audience and nail the dude to my left right on the head. He was a little pissed off and I asked if he was okay but I didn't mention that if there'd been a serious injury, the guy responsible for the accident was probably the person best suited to help him.

Though, if I'd been 18 inches to the left, said stick very well may have put out my eye (I had six inches on this guy) and I'm not sure how Frank is with pulling sticks out of people's eye sockets. Alternate Universe One-Eyed Tom says "Fuck you very much.

I wholeheartedly concur with my Fancy associate's comment of June 6th. Let's rock this motherfucker and let the monkeys out!

PS I am on the edge of my seat waiting to hear how the record came out!
