:: smo ::

you animate for nickelodeon?
that is probably the coolest job i have ever heard

I wondered what happened to you...

wowwwwwww that is so bitchin

what show do you animate?

Ah, so that's why I don't hear any Pain at Java's anymore.

Congratulations on the job, my friend.

Smo, I think we are as excited as you are that we are playing at 3 Floors of Ska. I'm glad you'll be there. Hopefully you're staying for the whole show so we can check out the other bands with you. Just a heads up, we are playing Sat. night in Brooklyn too.

"January, 21 2006 at Brooklyn Lyceum
Not Available, Brooklyn (Park Slope area - short subway ride from Manhattan), NY
Cost:

Continuing our 2 day stint in NYC, Mrs. Skannotto is gonna rock out with Skannotto alumni Mark "skannotto" Annotto and John Payne and their new band called Puppet Box. There are a few exciting possibilities about who else we'll be playing with, so check back soon for updates!!"

See you there man!!

Hey guys!

yeeeeah i definnitely dissapeared for my last stint in rochester. i was pretty much just working, animating, listening to harry potter books on tape while animating, and playing dragon warrior roms. i'd occasionally be at lux or the market, and then back to business...so yeah...

but anyways thanks for noticin! if you see the kid with the mohawk [papows] at javas ask him to play pain or big d, and he'll get really excited!

the cartoon i'm working on is called kappa mikey http://www.kappamikey.com for the animation collective: http://www.animationcollective.com i can't HONESTLY say i'm proud to be working on it, but i'm happy i have a job, and it pays well! i'm drawing fake anime essentially...which i think is totally ridiculous! it'll be on the nicktoons digital cable channel in february i think.

and as far as the 3 floors deal goes; i'm DEFINITELY staying the whole time! i'm bringing some friends along too, it'll be a good time, and i bet the toasters will be super awesome since this is their ordeal! so i'm sure i'll be seeing you guys throughout the night!

the saturday thing sounds pretty great too! if i'm all caught up on work and everything i'll definitely go!


peace and unity friends

You should tell them to put David The Gnome and You Can't Do That On Television back on the air.

3 floors is gonna be one hoppin party. how bout ny ska jazz ensemble playin the mainstage? im gonna cream myself during that

i might go if i can convince one of my friends to go with me. i love knitting factory

AGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH AND I WOULD BE THERE IN A HEART BEAT IF I HAD THE CHANCE. I'M SO JEALOUS THAT YOU GET TO SEE THEM AND I DON'T.

Heh..

Yeah, I'm pretty amped about NYSJE. They, and my friends, are pretty much the reason I'm going to this show.

If you're heading to the 3 floors of ska, try to swing by and check us out. We're playing on the Downstairs Stage at 8:45pm! Hopefully we'll see some of you guys out there from the sound of it! Upstate represent!


We're also playing in Brooklyn the next night at The Brooklyn Lyceum with skannotto alums 'Puppetbox" (synth geek rock) and "The New Chaw" (warped country blues rock). Check it out at http://www.brooklynlyceum.com. 9pm, $5.

I'll definitely try to catch at least some of your set, but for the record, i'm not quite an upstate kid. I'm an NYC kid who goes to school in CNY. So, that's basically why I can pull this off. I'm still home on winter recess. Cornell doesn't start until the 23rd.
