It's been weeks since my last update, but it feels like years. I'm coming to you from the home office of Awesometown, USA, speechless, sore, and still feeling the rock that took place on Sunday, April 28, in Dallas, TX.

Needless to say, the birthday party was a success--hell, it was a success riot, and I have the spinal damage to prove it. If all the other years are like 30, I can't fucking wait to get old. I have hugged, screamed, thrashed, perspired, jumped, laughed, kissed, and punched the air with rock fists longer and harder in a single night than ever before, and likely after.

Thanks to all who were there (including Mr. Fred Schneider of the B-52's!), especially the 4 most talented rock bodies in the world: Corn Mo, the Banes, Baboon, and Dooms UK.

Frantically, I have pieced together another awesome issue. The articles have been hand crafted by the finest and funniest, and are so plentiful, we've had to lay off many of our miner elves, who we used to keep busy spelunking for comedic genius.

In the coming months, look for (hopefully) my interview with SPARKS, and (surely) my re-interview with Joe Bob Briggs, who is slated to kick off Issue 20, in celebration of 2 fine years of KP news.

Send in your letters, your questions, your ideas, your articles, your likes/dislikes, and your total adoration to me. Then re-read Issue 18, for good measure.

Shocking your monkey,
xoxo
