this is a few days late, but i thought i'd mention that my friend Vinnie was featured in this week's "Under the Influence" column for CityBeat.

some of you may know Vinnie from her band Le TechnoPUSS13S; others might remember her from her spoken word piece from a DJ Empirical set at one of the Recycled Rainbow events.

regardless, check the column out, if you get a minute. she's a character for sure.


oh, and i guess i'd be remiss not to mention another friend Tom's appearance in "Under the Influence" a little while ago.

tom is McDeviltoast's brother, and one of the guys in Paperback, who played at the DJ Empirical birthday show last september.

Both photos were done by another friend, Dale, by the way. He's good people, too.
