for friday

okay...

i'm not very good at self-promotion--although i'm sure you'll recall my perennial shout-outs of "why not give the gift of adventure?" around this time of year, reminding folks that they probably have at least one person on their christmas list that would dig a copy of the perhapanauts:triangle trade this year...!

and i don't really know if i'm that good at promoting other people and their work either...but here's where i'm coming from.

as an imaginative young lad i, naturally, gravitated toward other imaginative young lads (and ladies) and so had a wonderful childhood filled with lots of exciting adventures and what some might call 'dangerous' experiments...
my best friend when i was 11, 12, 13 was a kid named garth green. like me, garth was into drawing and all manner of artwork, music--we both played guitar, but while i was learning the basics of the three chord blues progressions for what was definitely going to be an awesome career in rock and/or roll, garth was going so much deeper, studying classical guitar from the great vladimir bobri. as kids of that age we went on some amazingly great adventures, did a whole bunch of really stupid things, and mostly had a fantastic time. also, garth had an older brother who was a great resource when we had questions about girls and sex.
around when we were 14, garth moved away and we lost touch, but a few years back our paths crossed again and we've been friends again ever since, having some new adventures and doing stupid things (although, apparently now we've gotta be careful 'cause they arrest you now for stuff they'd letcha get away with as kids...)
so while my rock and roll career did have it's high points in the 80s and early 90s, garth has gone on to prove just what a truly talented musician and composer he is, creating several cd's of his imaginative and stylized pieces.

and here are some cool pictures of ufos and cows and tractor beams. i always loved the concept of tractor beams. we gotta put more tractor beams in the perhapanauts. (also, maybe we should redesign the skipper to look like a smaller version of that awesome spaceship mike grell put on the cover of green lantern 93--that thing is cool like a donut!)
(mmm--donuts...!)
