An inspiring and captivating read from Joshua Ploeg (Behead the Prophet, Mukilteo Faeries, Lords of Lightspeed, and much much more!). Learn about his history and plenty of stories about absurd performance art and band concepts that he acknowledged as a joke and subjected audiences to in Olympia, Seattle, and on tour! Joshua is now a touring vegan chef (see "Thinkin, Stinkin, Rarely Drinkin Microcosm Tour 2006") and we get to learn about all of his post punk roots here. The stories are funny - some successes, some failures, some misunderstood efforts, but it's great to hear about his mom worried people hurting him as the audience piled on him in full costume while singing for Behead the Prophet or the inside joke story behind a flyer design concept. We get to learn how some jokey concepts originated as harmless words on a flyer that transformed into a collaborative band or performance piece. My favorite is the show celebrating all of the characters who frequently attend shows but don't perform themselves to have an opportunity to do something for an audience. A true genius, that Mr. Ploeg.
