    Hey folks there's two things we want you to do …and they are fun so go ahead and do 'em…..
First go to Kitten Koffin Zombies to vote for Shells Bells as December Pin Up Calendar Girl…..she's a winner…..AND she's Lenny Lashley's fabulous wife of 9 years no less!!
OK second thing is go to the Boston Punk Oral History Project and check it out, listen to Katie The Kleaning Lady and Maura ask you for a video with your stories about the old punk scene and then make a video and send it to 'em.
This is such an awesome idea, I wish we had thought of it!! YOU can be a part of the way cool project

they are still looking for vendors though space is limited so email 'em if you want to sell stuff . And if you don't want to be a vendor well you'll want to be there as a shopper so save the date!!
2) after that you can go to the Middle East for Magic Christian (members of Blondie, Flaming Groovies, Plimsouls), Muck and The Mires, Parallel Project, Fox Pass
Oh no, I went to Muck's site and saw that the Doreen single is out, that song is so great!! It's gonna stick in my head for a week!! And oh, you can buy it, watch the video etc .. amd for all you record fanatics out there, it is a limited edition, 10 inch vinyl 45 from England, WHEW!!
