Facts About Gus vol. 17?

One thing about Erik that nobody knows is that he is a very talented musician. He started playing guitar at a very early age and learned from some of the more popular bands of that time. The only downside to him learning to play so young was that he wasn't able to change his style of play. So since the early 80's Gus has been playing glam rock. And he's been playing it well!
He is currently the leader of a band that plays local shows here in Longview. They describe their sound as "Whitesnake crossed with Culture Club with some Winger thrown it to make it 'hard'". Last night the played to a packed house at the Woodshed. It was their first show as a headliner. That's right, on this night the marquee read "Gus Loves Fag Soup". Pretty catchy name huh? Well I was there supporting my buddy and got this pic of the band right before they went on.

halloween coming


family of halloween costumes
A whole family that dresses up together every year. The bill and ted characters is my favorite. I would like to make fun of this, and joke how the kids are probably scarred for life, but it's actually kind of cool.
It makes me remember Dirk and his stigmata costume that really bled, his Barf costume from spaceballs that had moving ears, and 97 when some of us dressed up like characters from braveheart.
We won a bottle of vodka with these badboys, so we had that going for us. Although wearing kilts in Pullman in October was not the warmest idea we ever had...
