Hey everybody, I'm coming to you from within Scarlett Jovazin, so if the

Avalon does the same sort of thing. He's a rapper. They're making fun of rap, but they're performing it

and they're, they put on an amazing show. I went down to San Diego a few weeks ago and saw them perform

at the House of Blues. It was a mind-altering experience, I must say. Really fantastic show. So if
