After 4 years of living elsewhere, PIX is going home to Bloomington. Cairo has drained all of our money. We are broke and tired and homesick. So, Mr. Jefferson, Josie the dog, Adrienne, some crazy Brit named Gary and I are moving to Bloomington in AUG/SEP. Although Bloomington has changed a lot since I first moved there 17 years ago, It's still a great place and most of all, filled with great people that I have missed for the last 4 years. I've liked the places I've lived and the people I knew there, but, I never felt like I belonged there. I was always just visiting. I'm sick of that feeling and I want to go home... I could go on and on but I won't. If you're a friend and would like to know more about why we are leaving Cairo and the ACE OF CUPS, please email me.

PLAN-IT-X FEST
There
will a PLAN-IT-X FEST next summer (2011). It will also mark the 100th release on PIX records. I am currently on #89 (meaning 11 more releases). I plan to
release PIX #100, which will be the book, "Free Pizza For Life", the
story of Samantha and I stealing pizza and starting a DIY punk label, on
the day of the fest. The book will come with a DATA DVD with all the PIX
music ever released up to this point. If the world doesn't end in 2012, I might
release some more records but, if I do, they will most likely be LPs
and I plan on releasing comics and starting a "real" comic book
company. So anyway, I hope to see you all at FEST sometime in JUNE (most likely JUNE 24-25-26 2011 in the Bloomington) All the cool bands will be playing. It will be a benefit and
your ticket price includes your copy of PIX#100. More info soon.
