Would you be my pen-pal?
As I was wondering how I would celebrate "Seis de Satanás" (6/6/06), I decided to find a new pen-pal (although today everything is done via text messaging or emails).
Yesterday I was reading this, which featured photos of the rock band Lordi. So I thought, "who better to email a letter to on a day such as today than one of these fine gentlemen?"
I decided to email "Kita", the drummer, as drummers are typically the lowest on the rock group food chain (except maybe for keyboardists) and might possibly feel a bit lonely on the evilest of days.
Here is what I sent:
From: Phil
To: kita@lordi.org Date: Jun 5, 2006 2:48 PM Subject: Greetings Kita!Hello, Kita!
I just wanted to write to you to tell you that I have just recently discovered your band - I assumed most people email Lordi himself, and that the rest of the band-mates do not get as much attention, so I am emailing you!
How are you?
You seem to have an interesting band. I, too, have a "band", if you will, but we do not play instruments. We mainly drink bourbon and do drugs (comet dust and cocaine the drug of choice).
I noticed you are from Finland? I have direct ancestors from Norway - I don't know if the Fins hate the Norwegians or the other way around, but as I see it, we are all Scandanavian brothers, yes?
I also wanted to ask you about playing the drums. Does the armor get in the way? How about the torn-open decaying flesh? It would seem difficult with the work it takes to play drums with the nerve endings being exposed like that - or, perhaps they are dead?
Anyway, I look forward to learning more about Lordi (the band - I still think you're the best).
Best wishes,
Phil
I will let you know if I should receive correspondence back from Kita.
