 I remember when I first met him, sort of... hee hee hee It was in an AOL chat room, believe it or not, and we got around to chatting, as I always do with fresh young white meat. ;-) He knew who I was and he knew about the website, and he asked me to check out his band and tell him what I thought about them. I don't even remember what band he was in at the time, but I gave them a listen, told him his band sucked, and that was about it. I don't know if he thought I was serious about it or not, but he just sort of thanked me for my honest opinion and we just kept on chatting. After that we would run into each other at gigs, he would get into altercations with my Friends, he played in a band I can't stand, and I just sort of stood around and took it all in, watching this guy do what he was doing and marking him off as another Las Vegas person that I know of, but don't actually know, if that makes any sense. Until that one fateful night, when the New York Dolls played at that Sports Center Of Las Vegas place off of Sunset, when his drunken ass came up to me after the gig, and he told me about this great new musical project he was hyped on, and how I was the only drummer in Las Vegas that could pull it off, and he didn't care what people thought about me, he just wanted me to play in his band, and after a shitload of booze, I agreed to be in a band with him. Simple, I know. So we exchanged phone numbers, emails, and he said I would hear from him within a few days, and, of course, I never heard from him after that! LOL I didn't hear back from him for at least 6 months or so, when he was just casual like sending me a text, "So, when can you practice?" ha ha ha ha He gave me an address in Summerlin (or "Scummerlin", as Homeless Dyke likes to put it), and I showed up and met him and his buddy who was the guitar player, and we jammed on like the 4 songs that they knew, it sounded great, and that was it. That was how I was introduced to my future heterosexual life partner Jeremy Schoonover, aka The Bassmaster General, and aka one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet in this or any other lifetime. Today is his birthday, and I just wanted to publicly tell you all that, and to click here to go to his Facebook page and wish him a Happy Birthday and stuff like that. :-) He's currently at the Anaheim Schmucks home opener right now, having fun I hope, and I love the big shnook and just wanted to state it publicly, that's all! ha ha ha Happy Birthday!! I love yoooooouuuuuu!! XOXOXO
