Thanks for the Barleywine tip. I've been hitting the Great Divide and Dogfish offerings most often - I'll Definately be on the lookout for this one.

Sort of, not really. They're still hashing it all out, so we don't really know yet. Probably won't know what went down until the fall.

The Kims, always and forever: Deal and Gordon.

I hate not eating out ever. Right now I have to settle for the odd trip to SubWay. It sucks.

Please come around more.

Spiced rum and Diet Dr. Pepper also tastes somewhat like candy. Hey, we were desperate and it was the only liquor/mix in the house...

Haha... I used that interview as the basis for a paper in which I argued for an ethical justification of file sharing.

I want to start a betting pool for the Pope. Everybody picks a day, and if he dies on that day, you win the pot.

sorry, we sold out, I'm not sure when the next one will be because I am so busy with work, and don't really have the time I should put aside to make one, but whenever I get a chance I tend to work on it

Blah... I don't know what's up with FoB. I guess "hiatus" would be the appropriate word. I'm working two jobs and going to school full time, so I've been neglecting my little zine. You can still send me stuff if you want though... a zine-making friend of mine wants to do some sort of collabouration, so what you write could end up in that rather than the txt version of FoB.

We're all about the metric system up here, but some aspects never caught on... like I can tell you how much I weigh in pounds (but not kilograms) or how tall I am in inches and feet (but not centimetres). It's also still called "a quater-pounder w/cheese", not a "royal w/cheese".

Holy DAMN! another SG member on Maui!

Hey, man. You're probably familliar with lots of Elvis Costello without being aware of it; I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard: Oliver's Army, Alison, Watching The Detectives, Accidents Will Happen, Pump It Up, What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love And Understanding, and lots more. I guess his most acclaimed early album is Imperial Bedroom, which is fantastic. But he has a lot of great stuff. I'd also highly recommend This Year's Model for some excellent old punk-attitude with wicked tunes. There is a very good Best Of around which features 2CDs of awesome songs in basically chronological order, which might also be a good starting point, it has most of his well-known songs, some punk, some pop, some of his singer-songwriter stuff, some of his avant-garde things.

i'm not too hip with the transferring of electronic files... if you have a high-speed connection, you could always just zip up and email a few tracks for me to check out.

i read a few predator comics and the first few issues of Alien/Predator: Deadliest of the Species... but i always found that the Alien and Predator comics that Dark Horse did were boring as shit. Now, I LOVE comics, don't get me wrong, but I just think the visuals are too intense for commercial comics. Most of the artists who worked on that stuff didn't have the chops (or possibly the time and finances) to do it right.

Honestly, I'd love to take a shot at an Alien vs Predator comic myself, but it would take a long time to do right.

I think the movie would've been fine with humans, I think that would be the only way you could make it suspenseful without being goofy. The big problem this movie had was they tried to humanize the Predator and it made the whole audience laugh. They should've humanized the HUMANS and let the creatures remain terrifying and mysterious, they could've created a lot of tension if they had the humans pulling for the Predator to win, never really knowing for sure if he would kill them or let them free. This human/predator tag-team shit was a joke though.

where have you been?

If you're so smart, why didn't you just save all the books you had when you were a kid?

hahahahaha you are so fucking awesome!

if that isn't the best advice i'd ever been given, i don't know what is.

Persisarc doesn't have anything for sale as far as I know. He just does it to make others happy. I was trying to convince him to contact some record labels, but I don't think he's interested....

the previous profile pic is by Paul Laffoley, one of my favorite artist people. Insanely detailed metaphysical diagrams that go over my head, but are just so interesting to look at. Another bio page.

I got your submission for FoB4. I'm too druuuuunk to make any sense of it now, but I'll have a look tomorrow... I tried to print it out, but I apparently can't even do that. Oh my.
