Hi All,

Thank you to everyone who came to the first FRANK WOOD show at the CUTTING ROOM. It was a huge success.

This Thursday is the second DRUMMER's NITE at the PUSSYCAT LOUNGE. I'll have 3 bands warm up the crowd, and then BOB and FRANK from the band LEWD BUDDHA will be backing up some great drummers who'll perform 2 songs each (or maybe more, we'll see). Among them will be TEXAS from BANANA FISH ZERO, EDDIE T. from LEWD BUDDHA, JOHNNY MACALUSO from FELICIA COLLINS & THE LIFE, TONY MANN from the SHE WOLVES and MAD JUANA, ARMAND from PRETTY SUICIDE and many more. These guys are some of the wildest maniacs around. It's gonna be alot of fun.

The CD release party for LANI FORD's band STARK at CONTINENTAL was a smash. How could it not be with BANANA FISH ZERO on the bill. It was also a book release party for the BFZ manager DR. MARNI FINKLESTEIN.

I'm still recruiting MERMAIDS for our float in this year's MERMAID PARADE out at CONEY ISLAND on Saturday JUNE 26. It will be a blast! Check my website for photos of last year's mayhem. Just send me an e-mail if you would like to help out.

Summer is getting near and I have a couple of new things on the fire. I was hoping to have a BBQ but they're doing construction next door to my house and they've destroyed my yard. They said they'll fix it, but I don't know. Hopefully we'll get at least one BBQ in this year.
