Marty Allen: Some hot glue and emergency paint bring Uncle Monsterface back to life, though we are understandably jostled. So, too -- jostled, that is -- is our DVD player. The DVD player is the backbone of our rock ’n’ roll machine, accounting for about 80-percent of our musical genius, and a commensurate percentage of the sounds and images one encounters at our shows. We got it working after six to eight deafeningly awkward minutes, and despite a few colorful moments, I was still able to use my bullhorn for the first time ever, thusly fulfilling the first of several rock and roll fantasies.
Joe: We just finished our first show. Uncle Monsterface rocked the faces off of people and turned those who weren’t rocked into monsters. During “Keeping Secrets From Me” I tried to do a Bruce Springsteen slide to the front of the stage, but I ran out of stage and fell into the audience, and rolled around a lot.
Marty Allen: Our dear friend Kyle sheltered us on our virginal evening of rock, also revealing to us a magical bar that gives you a free pizza with every beer (I'm convinced the bartender learned everything he knows about society from Cocktail).
Marty Allen, postscript: Jesse snores, but he is also a very good snuggle-buddy.
From the sockpuppet journal of the Nutty Bunny: It is cramped in this bag. I think one of my whiskers fell off. We live for the fleeting moments of life and animation when we can dance and sing with a large hand crammed inside of us. Is it all worth it? If I had paws of my own, I would contemplate taking my life.
