I will gladly help edit, write a prologue. Hell, maybe even contribute a story. I was a literature, language, and writing graduate in college (and I was the last horror buyer borders had before they went bankrupt … it wasn’t my fault, I was beating my sales plan).

Hey! I finally got to see Diesel Boy and Nerf Herder … and wrote about it for @beardedgmusic.bsky.social

Diesel Boy and Nerf Herder | Live at Small's | Bearded Gentlemen

After decades of being a fan, Dane Jackson finally got to see Diesel Boy live. It was more than a good punk rock show, it was transformative.

Seeing all the videos from punk rock bowling with The Aggrolites and Lynval Golding together make me so jealous. Would love for them to tour the country with it next!

May column is going to be delayed. My writing days have been taken up with going to shows, so I guess that’s a good reason. 😂😂😂

May column is 30 releases deep right now, which means I’m about to Hunger Games some of them.
