I really have busted my ass over the years to make the Strictline work, to give the Stoned Ranger some exposure, and haven’t sold out yet. This Tales is dedicated to some of the people who have made this a crazy ride all around.
First off, the man who helped bring the “Strictline Web Invasion” to life Rick Palenek. Rick also has helped me build the stage we use at shows, and has endlessly let me use equipment.
Secondly, Andy Bruno. Andy is one sick fucking genius, and I really feel bad about saying this shit, but Subjection breaking up was a good thing that worked out for the Strictline. Andy’s computer programs, and help with putting together advertising and all that other shit has been wonderful. Plus his efforts regarding controling the shows with bringing in extra people “that we can count on” to help. If there was a big reason the Strictline resurrected from the dead, he would be one of those reasons.
Third of all, to most of the members, past and present, of the Third World. Especially, Andy Kavinsky (K.D.D.A), who has been there for every show since “Defecation.”
Also, to all the bands that have played at my shows. You have really made them memorable and I feel proud to have known and worked with each and every one of you. I hope we can do more together as the year goes on.
I am sorry I didn’t bash anyone this season, however with the holidays coming up and all, I felt it better to count my blessings and give thanks to these people who have helped build the Strictline. I think it better to include them in this, rather than some assholes who just are fuckups that I couldn’t give a shit about.
And most importantly, you guys that come out for shows, subscribe to this newsletter, and keep up to date with the site. You people make it all worth while and because of you, that is why there is an SFR. I am here for your amusement ,and for us all to have fun. Merry Christmas to all, and roll that joint not too tight.
