A month ago, my band reunited to play, what we thought, was our last show forever and ever.

A brilliant animator friend, Bob Renzas of Animal Qwacker Productions, just finished the poster for our 5 Year Reunion show, coming up on August 12th at Double Door. The results?

I love his friend’s hilarious commentary too. And last night he was asking for instructions on how to better support me during the labor. He wanted me...
