The lead singer for GWAR is dead... (http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/128063/dave-brockie-gwar-s-oderus-urungus-dies-at-50)

GWAR is a metal band I did a video for (Black and Huge, that's right it's a love song  ;D )  back in the day. (http://youtu.be/O5dMBmfMZb8) GWAR were barbarians from Antarctica. ;D Outrageous costumes and antics on the stage were their trademark. A piece from my video ended up being used in a movie called Hardware (http://youtu.be/h1O7_rqevTQ) although the music was from the band Ministry.

One of the weirder things I worked on, but it keeps reverberating in my life. Becky didn't want me to do it because it scared her. I had a new camera and we had just gotten back from a week of peace and quiet camping at the beach on the Outer Banks. Next, I was in a club that was over a hundred degrees just trying to survive with my camera intact... fake body fluids spraying the audience and me. At one point I jumped onto the stage colliding with the lead singer, Oderus Urungus,  and we both ended up in a heap on the floor. I crawled over behind a speaker stack, panting, sweating and thinking what the hell have I gotten myself into.

My proudest part of the video is the fact that they didn't even perform that song that night. I just edited it to work. When I showed it to my boss, he gasped and was a little freaked out... I thought "perfect, that's just the reaction the band would want.  ;D

Ah, yes. The band that introduced the fetish of vore (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vore) to the masses.

My mother told me never to say anything if I didn't have something nice to say.... So that's a really great psychological problem you got there.

I think that monster guy lived under my bed for a couple of years when I was a kid.

He would never just eat your toes. He always swallows you whole.
