“There is no greater wrecking ball to the planet than the industries that turn animals into food. No single choice that we make has a bigger or more positive impact.”
David Agranoff, The Vegan Guide to Portland

“There are many dark corners in the many universes. Don't continue on if you are afraid to explore the dark, brutal and absurd”
David Agranoff, Amazing Punk Stories

“A group of giant insectoid creatures floated to the area near the stage. One of them spoke in a series of clicks that the language master knew instantly.
"Play hard and fast hairless monkeys!"
Greeg shouted, "We're Transmitted Infections from the inner-worlds and this is punk fucking rock!"
Crash hit a crunching , distorted guitar note. the Slugs spit in happiness at the sound of the guitar. Greeg liked a species with a love for badass music. He was sure this would be a great show.”
David Agranoff, Amazing Punk Stories
