About Me

You see the strange guy in the fez at the shows taking pictures? Thats me. I blog about shows and post the pics up in both them and on my Flickr account.I'm not a Shriner, nor do I belong to an Fraternal organizations. To quote Groucho Marx: "I could never belong to any organization that would have anyone such as myself a member. I book shows here and there and I have a taste for things that are different. I like to mix things up and introduce people to each other. I like to book shows that take people to a different place musically and tend to book artists that stand out from the rest. If you would like to view my photo sets of shows from the past couple of years, please feel free to check out my Flickr account:http://www.flickr.com/photos/monkey_bucket/If you wish to use any of my photos, please give photo credit to Monkey Bucket. The video below is from my show at The Cocaine last december. This is John Thill.This is Vyncent Flaw performing my show at The Cocaine on December 8th. More outstanding footage from Deirdre Brinlee, and there is a lot more coming too.Check out this video: Vincent Flaw - Breath in?

.....and now for even more shameless self promotion. A while back some friends suggested I get some t shirts made. I did and they now have them. Well then all these other people started coming up and asking me where they could get one. So I now have a t shirts, and they come in black, purple, red, kelly green, and blue. I also found that most of the people that wanted them were in the size range of small, youth large, medium and large. If I see a need for it, I will get some done in the 2x and 3x-tall as well. These will only be available at the shows at this point. So if you really want one, you will have to come to the shows to get them, unless you live near me, then we can work something out.Don't Fuck Up The Club

My Interests

Music, Noise, Art, Folk Art, People in general. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

I'd like to meet:

Musicians and artists that are different from the norm. Noise bands, laptop artists, graphic artists, poets, queer artists and musicians that don't want to segregate themselves, People that want to see Universal Health Care actually happen in this country. Hell, I would probably like to meet you.

Movies:

Kamikaze Girls, Nowhere, Boy Culture, David Lynch (Dir.),

Television:

Fuck TV

Books:

I could list some that I've read half way through, but what would be the point. I'm not good in this area.

Heroes:

I'm not sure anymore. Anybody that is different that still continues to be themselves.Here is a guy I just found about named George Tabb. Go to his page and see the bullshit our government is putting him through after they lied to the people living around the World Trade Center after 9/11. This is just one person who is in dire need of help. If we can help him, he can use his voice to help the others suffering from the same situation.
