A little more in depth with char*

Well, I guess that I am lucky that someone actually wants to see what kind of a person I am and
possibly find out a little more about me. Well, I don't think your going to find out more about
me, except my E-mail address. Sorry, I don't have my life story posted or any pictures either... unless it is realated with SP.

Yes, I am one of the eccentric loosers behind this page. We try our best to drown you lovely
Pumpkin-heads who happen to run into our site, with the best qualitity as well as knowlege about
this charming band. However most only reconise Jules as the sole editor of this page, but there are
two. I am in NO way trying to have all the credit shifted my way, I am just stating the fact that I
am hardly reconised. I think of Jules and I as being pretty adequate when it comes tword the page.
She's more the social type and I am more the thinker. Not that I am trying to imply that she is a
ditz or anything, which she isn't at all... Well, lets just say when Jules began this page, and she
included me in it, we didn't know jack-shit. (and some of you may still think we don't, but we are
all entitled to our own opions) And thanks to our friend Christina, I got a better understanding of
the HTML business and tried my best to relay my knowlege to Jules. And Jules helps to the best
she can in her own special way. She gives it alacrity and I diversify it and ameliorate it and try
to make it as nefarious as possible. Well, adieu - char*

*Album*

Siamese Dream has remained my all time favorite through out my "journey" of liking the pumpkins,
it is just really sentimental and so is Gish as well as Adore MCIS and Pisces Iscariot, but this one
was a landmine for me.

*Pumpkin*

Well, I myself have always been parshal to James Iha - believe it or not the picture that got me
attracted to him was the Cherub Rock poster... (the MTV Europe poster)

*Quotes*

"Just recording with James is a sexual experince. The way he presses 'record'. You've gotta see
it" - Billy

"One day I wish that all people of the world, all the males, females, blacks, whites, purples,
whatever, all the adults and children would come together and get it on!" - James

"I'll die some day and it be mythical or magical, I'll just bite into a Twinkie and fall over" - Billy

James - "Good evening Oakland!"
Billy - "James, were not in Oakland."
James - "Good evening San Francisco!"
Billy - "Were not in San Francisco either. (to the crowd:) See, there is something many of you
may not know about James. He's a robot, and when were out on tour, we kinda forget to
reprogramhim sometimes so he gets confused easy. That's why he smells so bad since we can't
give him a shower..." - Billy & James at the December 16, 1996 concert in San Jose, CA

"people bring us pumpkins...they have pumpkin mofits in our dressing rooms. I mean, this one
girl actually asked us if we change our name for every holiday--like we'd be the 'smashing turkeys',
or the 'smashing santa classuses', the 'smashing christopher columbuses' and she was serious! Can
you believe that??" - D'Arcy

"Are you ready to have a rockin mashed potato time?" - Billy at the 10/2/96 St. Louis show

"Shave your head, wear a Zero shirt. Yake away your identity. What do you have? You still
have yourself." - Billy

"Jazz isn't dead, it just smells funny" - Jimmy

"If a man can't keep himself from doing those kinds of things with everything to lose, his band,
his life, his status, his economic and whatever future...if he can't stop himself from picking himself
up from that, then what's gonna stop him? Us? Us three suburbanites? It ain't gonna happen."
- Billy from MTV Year In Rock 96

"Well, usually I wait until the end of the show to aplologize for sucking, but I'd like to take this
oppurtunity to say that we suck, so sorry. I guess what we need to do is play some Stone Temple
Pilots or Bush." - Billy from the 1/26/97 show
