Dino joined the band in the late 90's after Brendan's departure. Dino left in '01 to pursue his original project and rejoined for the '07–current incarnation. He maintains the band's social media presence as well as this site. While his wife, Ashley, creates most of the artwork for the band, Dino is credited for creating some of the more silly and ridiculous show flyers. #JakeFact: Dino's keyboard & guitar rig takes longer to set up and tear down than TSM's drum kit.

Thank you everyone who came in costume. There were some pretty awesome costume ideas that were well executed. Everyone is still talking about Jay and Silent Bob.

The show was loud. We don’t know what happened, maybe we couldn’t hear through our wigs, latex any vinyl. But if your ears are still ringing, imagine what ours sound like. We had a lot of fun. Thanks again to everyone at Foley’s! They did a ‘spooktacular’ job of decorating the place. Sorry for the bad pun.

This was a show full of apologies, but it was a good show nonetheless. From us apologizing to our fans for going on stage three hours late (not our fault), to us apologizing for our singer who put his foot in his mouth (our fault), this show somehow still kicked ass.

Many hot dogs and burgers were eaten. The weather was perfect until the sun went down. The PA system left a lot to be desired, but we made the best out of it that we could. We decided we would never play without Pete, our sound-man, ever again. Musically, we sounded better than ever. We rocked. Thanks to those of you who stuck around! We’ll see you back at Foley’s.

Jake has agreed to reimburse the cost of reconstruction and/or cosmetic surgery needed from having your face melted off at last night’s show. If you were in close proximity to the band during their encore performance of Loverboy’s “Working For The Weekend” and your face was exposed to the extreme heat during the dueling guitar solos, apply for a voucher here.

Thank you all for coming, drinking, tipping the bartenders, rocking out with your you-know-what out, spilling your drinks, vomiting and making it home safely. Jake called the Mountain Men from rehab this morning to let you know that he loves you all, and to warn you that the hangover pill does not actually work. Oh, and Ms. Lohan says hi.

Until the next time,
