Fatter Than Albert played a show with them and Chase Long Beach at the High Ground last night. It went really well, great turn out, lots of dancing, very fun. The only thing that was difficult was technical and equipment difficulties for us, that was at times annoying to deal with, but over all we had a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out/ wanted to be there. After the show SB6 wanted to see downtown New Orleans/ Bourbon St. It was quite the funny experience. +

Sonic Boom Six were some of the nicest people I have ever met.

Here’s a few pictures:

Late news:

I wish I could have witnessed this:

I wish I could live in Andy Tabar’s beard.

Check out this unique charity:
POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL
Our friend Bob Sidwell is working to help them out with his latest musical endeavor:

BOB FEST : NOVEMBER 25th in TUSCON, AZ

“Mission of Positively Beautiful:
Positively Beautiful exists to reclaim the identities of people living with HIV/AIDS. Through makeup, hair, and fashion we help to erase identifying physical side effects of the HIV virus and medications. It is one more step in draining away the power HIV/AIDS has on our daily lives. HIV is not our identity. Positively Beautiful is about living.”

My friend Wesley asked me:
“how do you think that dog with only two legs (from the last post) poops?, standing up, or squatting?”
I think he would just continue to stand. Whatta you think???

Let’s talk about poop.

Thank you for being here.
-Greg

I swear this is a real dog. It’s name is “Faith”

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.
D-Ray and I have been busy up to our eyebrows in work.

Filling some merch orders now.

Peace.
