I made many new friends in past weekend (5.22.10) while shooting the music video to “Citadel” with Icky’s Ego.
I wanted to thank Producer Brandon Don Heath, assistant art director Jerid Bartow, Art and Visual Director Ryan Patterson and Director of Photography Jordan Snider from Red Cloud Studios and their art and video crew for their unbelievable professionalism, hard work, and friendship. These guys are THE TOP… AND I LOVE THEM!!!
Marilyn Manson is just one of the artists who hired these dudes to design and shoot his music videos. We feel so honored these great folks did our Citadel video.

Words simply cannot express our love and gratitude for this video and art team who brought our song “Citadel” into living breathing action at the Brewery this weekend.
Thanks also do DeAnn Dallas and Robyn Newmark of Newmark Beauty who did a masterful job making us look good and who worked their butts off.
Last but not least, our super talented director and close friend Chris Lyman, who put it all in motion and made it all happen or us. This would never have happened without Chris.
THANK YOU!!! You all took us on a ride we will never forget! I love you all tremendously.
May 21st-23rd I’ll be in the studio with Icky’s Ego, shooting the music video to “Citadel” with the video crew and set designers of Marilyn Manson.

Icky’s Ego as Yawn and Joke-O
I think I broke a string… my hamstring… while playing GUITARBALL.
I just posted the videos on youtube of the last Icky’s Ego show at the Aqualounge in Beverly Hills. We want to thank all our fans who came out. Enjoy the performance of Mr. Obsequious.

I joined my best friends David Crocco and Cela Scott on bass in the band Icky’s Ego a while ago. David and Cela are both guitar alumni of mine. Phil kicks ass on drums. We already played tons of shows in our new line up. Crowds really dig us and our music. This feels REALLY good. Joining my good buddies in their band has been one of THE best decisions I made in past years.

I am still writing my book. The book’s been a bit on the back burner, as there’s only 24 hours a day, but I am still working on it.
