Hey guys,

I've been partying way too much the last few nights. How do I curb these partyrific tendencies? I am developing a drinking problem, and am waking up feeling like I got into a fight with zombies.
I need some fantastilicious advice from you guys...

Trevor		 Chris,

I'm glad you came to us publicly for advice. First off if you are going to be in the Setbacks you will need to be in great shape. The zombie fighting is normal at first, but if you can get through that you'll be fine. Then you'll be able to party like this all week every week.

The only downside is that the more partying we all do, the more we realize just how much Paul actually knows about Star Trek. And that, my friend, is way worse than zombies.

Besides, if your drinking ever becomes a problem we'll do an intervention. I've been trying to organize one for a long time. The only thing missing has been an intervenee. You may be the missing piece of the puzzle... so keep it up!


Steve		 Thanks for opening up to us, Chris. On the one hand I'm glad you're coming to us for advice, but on the other hand I'm sorely disappointed that you don't have the cajones to speak up in person. What's up with that? Anyways - on to your problem: I don't know what it's like in the electronic music circles you've been frequenting for the past few years, but when you're in a rock band you need an iron liver - end of story.

Paul		 Well the first step is admitting that you have a problem. So you are on the right track. Next, I think the best thing to do is get in touch with somebody...........yourself.

We had talked about this problem of yours before and I thought we had a deal. I remember the conversation. I suggested that you go dry on the alcohol for a while and you replied "Fine, no deer for a month".

Hey, wait a minute.........

Chris		 I woke up with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" blaring in my room this morning. Some skater kid was playing Street Fighter, and I was naked, sporting only a RUSH shirt for their Roll The Bones tour, as an empty bottle of Jim Beam lay still by my dresser.....

AA here I come!
