Things going well, so move to Japan!

P.U.C.K. has had plenty of spin-offs

Write some raps! A lot of first-time rappers, but people that knew how to play instruments

7-piece band!

One up on Phil Collins...free style rap and drumming!

2000-01 live band thing. January 2001 was brewing time for live band. Came back 11 months later. Pot-C coming back

Last show was 2011 when they were all in Vancouver. Trying to do it again this summer.

A whole roast chicken!

No slurpees! No nachos or hot dogs. Hot dogs in bags!
