For my money, there's no better midget tribute band than Mini-KISS, a New York-based Lilliputian quartet that, as you may have guessed by the somewhat frightening picture to your right, specializes in rocking out to KISS anthems.
Now, I haven't actually seen these guys ... yet. A buddy and I were all set to travel downtown to catch a set, but when looking up directions to the joint, we discovered the show was at a gay bar. I don't mind watching midgets in clown paint and spandex performing what amounts to glorified karaoke, but I ain't having a shirtless male bartender wink at me and call me sweetheart like the first (and only) time a couple of broads tricked me into meeting them at a sausage carnival.
Other Web Finds:
Tribute City — A database of tribute bands arranged by band tributed. Most have websites that are quite hilarious, if unintentionally so.
When I Was Little — Users post pictures of themselves as a young child as a grown-up. I'll try to scan in a baby pic when I visit the folks for Mother's Day, and then I'll post it when I grow up.
Apollo Image Gallery — Incredibly compelling hi-res images of NASA most ambitious missions from the 1960s. Samples: Apollo 11 launch | Earth rises over lunar surface | Aldrin poses for Armstrong on moon
Ryan Leaf Items on eBay — I'm guessing if you want any of this stuff, you're not going to be outbid.
Buy the Kennedy Assassination Issue of the Chicago Tribune — I collect old pubs, so I find this link interesting. Especially interesting is holding onto this stuff for 40 years in order to make $10.
Yuck, I can't get this crazy Oompa Lumpa image out of my mind along with Bridget the Midget of porndom. Although Mini-Kiss might have been invited to the gay bar by Ace.
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy......
