hm wow thats interesting. thanks for all that good info! and syncro is a
damn shoestore? hahah that is hilarious. but sad. i know what you mean about
that spoken word, etc.. but i'm almost SURE i heard of at least one of his
books being in print.. probably impossible to find, though. oh yeh - i just
got their live dvd and its crazy good if some of you havent seen it. the
interview on there is so cool and funny.
