The fire in my heart is fueled by my life-long search for the fabled Hell's Stout, and upon discovery, use its endless arcane gifts to travel back in time to assassinate Phil Hartman's psychotic wife, thus creating the Utopia we have searched for these many moons.
Some good blokes and dames who like combining a few pints, a good loud show at a dank & tiny music venue, and laughing over tales of woe and wrong... or maybe just Bill Murray.
