CHEPPO TRIBUTE PAGE

Bitch Bitch Bitch

1. I'm pissed that my mom and brother live in Chicago now and that so many of my friends live far away. 2. I'm pissed that rent and shit is so high in this town. 3. I'm pissed that there weren't any Whore-o-Scopes or a Dear Fag Hag column in the last Issue of the Fag Rag. 4. I'm pissed that there aren't any really good clubs in this town. 5. I'm pissed that I can't afford any new records right now. 6. I'm pissed the Grifters haven't been here again sooner, like, now, goddamnit! -BUT 1. I'm happy that there are so many new, good local bands right now! We had quite a drought there for a while. 2. I'm glad that my new roommate has three newts. When I asked what their names were, she said Jonie and Chachie. Hello- there are three of them, but only two names- I dunno maybe she should lay off the pot for a while. 3. I'm glad my bestest friend Susan is back and giving me her TV and VCR. 4. I'm glad I can walk to Sound Ex now from my house. 5. And last of all, sweet reader, I am so, so happy that you are reading my humble piece of writing.

NUCLEAR WAR (tm) UPDATE -->

Apparently, the Nuclear War people have decided not to put out a fourth edition of the game, at least for now, but they are relaeasing booster packs of cards. Get 'em! (Here are a couple of the new ones.)

Speaking of geeks - and that is what we're talkin' about here - the Oblivians are the fucking coolest bunch of geeks around! Geeks from Memphis, music to my ears. Garage geeks from Memphis. Nothin' better. Mm, mm, mm.

OK, SO THIS IS MY SECOND ISSUE, FINALLY [underscored]! I'VE GOTTEN SOME FEEDBACK ON MY 1ST ISSUE & [and] I GUESS MOST OF IT WAS POSITIVE - EXCEPT THAT CHEPO CAME BY LOOKIN' TO KICK SOME ASS AFTER HE SAW IT. THEN HE REALIZED IT WAS JUST LIL OL' ME, SO ITS ALL OK NOW.

THIS NEW, IMPROVED 2ND ISSUE INCLUDES A # [number] OF TREATS LIKE AN INTERVIEW, POETRY!?, A SPECIAL PULLOUT ENTERTAINMENT SECTION, SOME REVIEWS & [and] LOTS OF OTHER LITTLE SCRAPS O' SHIT.
