REMOTE GUESTS

PAUL BOOTH

He set the high-water mark for skin art throughout the 90s! Just a dude that loves metal whose clientele included every metal band that the 90’s had to offer. His take on the 90’s is truly one of a kind. We discussed metal, Captain Kirk, and of course the Catholic church!

ALL THE REST……

HOST, EMCEE, GRAND INQUISITOR

KERR MAHNKE

Gen-X (like racoons) are often defined in the negative! The first generation in history to be written off before it even had a chance to begin. Every generation bares a responsibility to the next! Leave it better than we found it, but what happens when just one generation decides that they did not have to do that and stands firmly in the way of change?!?

Kerr probed this topic and more with friends and not friends alike. His style and abilities are from the heart and isn’t afraid to take its shots with what is and what was!

GRIP / BEST BOY

Hic Fiat

HIc came to us as a friend of Kerr the host who brought him in to help with our live shoots and advise on technical issues. As well as helping us load, set up and take down the equipment on the days we on location. Peter Grey was in pretty bad shape because of the hips so his help was very much appreciated! His advise on the audio with a pre shot checklist helped us tackle problems before they become issues. Hic was a great help!

He asked us to please not toss a pick or two of him in action for his reasons and that’s why we don’t have any pics of him anywhere but thew raw footage.

SDZ and I wanted to thank him for lending his time and talents during a time when I couldn’t carry, lift, or manage much.

Thanks Hic!
