The mail carriers are doing weird stuff. Who knows how long this was hiding at my front entrance. It's a Choegal. It's nice, wood, and really looks like Dave's works. He even did the spinning faces type of thing, which came from this funky weird vinyl toy that you can buy for almost nothing. You don't get three heads, but you get three faces in one head.

This dude though, is a survivor, you will see him again. But if you got the time, or energy, take a look at the video. I interviewed him back in issue number 5. During my record scouring days, I found his lp. It was a super limited vanity pressed lp, but I wrote to the po box (this was before mass use of internet), and poof he wrote back. Any contribution can go here. No, I doubt he has paypal. Check his myspace as well. Yeah, even at this writing, he only has 5 friends. Here’s his arthurnakane.com site. It barely works.
