Welcome to suburbia where everything is perfect. A place where people live happy lives, and where good sons long for the right girl to carry on the good family name; or do they? The town of Rotentomb has grown a fixation on pretty boy Sebastian, and the beautiful garden he tends to at the feet of his family's mansion. At the same time the local baseball superstar, seems to be developing feelings for the beautiful boy himself despite his town jock ideals. Could he be gay? The answer lies on the other side of the garden fence, from where Sebastian's gaze haunts him, and where darker truths seem to be blooming deep within suburbia.

I don't talk to trees . . . honest. At least, I'd never admit to talking to them. But if I were the kind of girl who might find herself talking to an old oak tree on a chilly fall morning, asking why it's leave were falling off, and if that tree decided to answer me, this is the story the tree might have told me.

This sci-fi work-in-progress draws inspiration from several sources, not the least of which is the dream that my beautiful wife had. She was at space camp, having a rocking battle of the bands with the guys from Tomahawk. Think of it as "Meatballs" in Space with Special Guest Star Rockers. It's the first portion of a new story that willultimately unfold over a few parts. It Also takes titular inspiration from the Sifl and Ollie song "I guess this means we won't be partying at Dude's house."

This story is a short and mostly true. Certainly I took some liberties with the description of the hideous journals that were actually for sale at Harry W. Schwartz that day, but it emotion, all of it, including the callous indifference the author had toward the woman at the bookstore, is reals. For reals, yo.
Music Credits: Both of our music selections come today from “Mel’s,” a french pop-act that I ran across the other day. I’d love to tell you more about Mel’s but I can’t. All their supporting documentation is in French. Here’s what Internet translation will buy you.
“I name myself Mélissa I am 15 years old and a dream which is being carried out… “
You can get copies of Mel’s works at Jamedno. Jamendo is a netlabel which distributes its albums via p2p networks. It’s a pain in the ass to use. But, the music is free. Well, not free. Mel’s particular works are offered under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License, which, as a matter of fact, are the same terms as this podcast. Imagine that.
