I started as a Chippendale dancer in New Orleans. Well after the body started to go...an addiction to Jambalaya the root cause, I realized that I needed to make it with my mind. Thankfully I was a legend in my own mind.... and like Bill (Michael Keaton) from the movie Night Shift, I'm an "idea guy" all these fun, silly, stupid, nonsensical things come into my head. So what better spot than marketing. In the meantime, the time spent at Julliard singing was beginning to pay off. I am of course a classically trained operatic singer and was fortunate to play the lead in Little Tykes theatre production of Little Orphan Annie in Sandersonville, AL. The reviews were poor, but a star was born. After a move to Cedar Rapids, I was approached by these long haired hard rockers Mike and Pete and they said they wanted to cut their hair and change their image..... feeling they could appeal to the mainstream. Well here was a chance for a divergence of my two loves, marketing something fun.... and participating in something fun.... the rest is the story we are still living.

Ed. Note:  So just what ideas did "idea boy" here dream up?

1.  E-mails.  Not a new idea, but who would have guessed that combining pucky with really useful information like our schedule would have such a powerful effect?

2.  Giveaways.  We got free stuff - you're there and will do almost anything for it.  Candy, cheeseballs, beer, beer trinkets, tattoos, shirts, hats.  As much as you want this stuff, don't forget for the cover charge you also get live entertainment. 

3.  Cheeseball crud stuck to your shoes.  Not our idea.   You chose to throw 'em at each other.

4.  Miller Lite.  Like some beer missionary he converted the rest of the band and hopefully you to drink it. 

5.  G-Strings.  Yes, this is a giveaway but this idea deserves it's own mention.  We take pure pride in knowing that when we give you a g-string, you can wake up anywhere in the world the next morning with a clean pair of undies ready.  When you wear a Midget thong, it's like we're with you every step of the way.   We have the best job in the world.  If you're a guy disregard #5 - bad idea!
