I can't play a single instrument, but I'm pretty good at coming up with Big Ideas, and my latest is to form a band, the kind that goes around solving mysteries. We would need to write one or two songs about groovy times and what it's like to be in love, then the rest of our set/album would present some (scripted) stage banter setting up our characters and a mystery, some sound effects and incidental music, a couple songs that thicken the plot, maybe a chase scene, and then a totally rockin' rock song about solving the mystery.
Ideal bandmates include people who can dress like a teenager of the mid-to-late 60s, the 70s, or 90s grunge, esp. if you know how to play an instrument, and people who are good at writing dialog or doing different voices. Sorry, but if you want to look like a teenager of the 80s you HAVE to be able to play casio keyboards or key-tar, no exceptions. TALKING DOGS ESPECIALLY WELCOME!@1

Godspeed.
You are applying, right? If only I lived anywhere near Chicago, I could fulfill my lifelong dream of being Daphne. Curse you, geography!
Also, the newest Penny Arcade ("Cloaked in Twilight") reminded me immediately of you. Go read it now. :o)
