A tragic fire

I just received an email from Allen, about a tragic fire in Norway;

I’m sad to say that another fire has hit our community. Havve Fjell from Pain Solution and Wings of Desire lost his Fakir School in a fire this last weekend. To read the full story, please visit the main page of suspension.org:

I know the economy is terrible and everyone dug deep to help Matt Brawley, but if you can help out again, please do!

If you are too broke to contribute, please help pass the word.

Thank You,

Pend premiere @ The Ritz (Warren, MI)

It is going to be a very casual night this time, folks! Some sexy ladies’ flesh tugs, a Jap, and perhaps hanging from hooks even!

I say blood shall be flowing rather well by 10 pm, and perhaps few loud screams of terror by midnight.

So come one, come all! It is a family show for the dysfunctional!
