About Me

Well, back when I was a photographer/reporter investigating a downed alien craft, its dying pilot gave me a radioactive comic book. The comic bit me and exploded, giving me powers and wiping my memories of when I worked for the Canadian government. I've come to believe that my parents were brutally murdered right in front of me before my home planet exploded and I was sent to Earth, but I'm not sure on that because of the whole memory-wipe thing. I also hear tell I was given some sort of soldier stuff that made me pretty strong. Oh and I got hit by a magic bolt of lightning last week, but so far all it did was burn my eyebrows off.
Some business:
If you're here looking for information on booking shows, please email [email protected] as opposed to sending a Myspace message... it's much easier for the bookers to return your message that way. Also, if you want to play here, have a date in mind, and make sure you have sample MP3s you can provide us, whether on your Myspace page or elsewhere.
For more information on our store or the music there, please visit www.stand-upcomics.com.»-(¯..v..¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯..v..¯)-«

My Interests

Saving the world. Selling you the coolest stuff ever.

I'd like to meet:

My Parents, who I believe died on an overly exploded planet far far away. Or so I would assume. Also, anyone who wants to spend tons of money on comic books and related merchandise. We'll totally be your best friend!

Music:

Why, all the bands that play here, of course! ... of course...But there seriously are some great shows here. You should check them out.I think the owners would list among their personal favorites: They Might be Giants, Weird Al Yankovic, Weezer, and a bunch of other stuff.

Movies:

Superman I and II, Batman I and II and Begins. X-Men I and II, Spider-Man I and II, Hellboy, Captain America (not the motorcycle one, the one with the fake ears), and Pulp Fiction.

Television:

Smallville, JLU, Teen Titans, Harvey Birdman, The Price is Right.

Books:

Comics are awesome.
