A night with St. Augustine’s rock superheroes…

Every few months, some local businessmen, an ER nurse, a St. George Street shop owner and a Berklee College of Music student put on makeup and bad wigs then emerge in the night as a hair band called Papercutt.
They last toured through Zhanra’s in clothes that looked like the fruits of a 1984 dumpster dive. Their fake hair glowed in the whirls of green and white stage lights as the lead singer sprayed Aquanet hair spray onto the crowd and his own feathered locks.
They rocked the room around them as if it were a stadium: Hair whipping, drumsticks twirling, smashing out each anthem and ending with their fists pumped on one last lingering note and their heads bowed with the fading music.

The sun throws a sucker punch to your aching eyelids, letting you know morning has come. No matter what time it is, it’s too early. Your stomach feels like it just suffered the Tilt-O-Whirl seven times in a row. Your mouth tastes like old people smell. As you squint to steady the shaky room, you’re relieved to find that, yes, you are in your own bed and devoid of the alcohol-enhanced cutie you flirted with all night. So, let the blame-stricken whining to anyone within earshot begin. Why did you let me drink so much? Like a bed-ridden hospital patient, you cry out to your housemates. Water, someone please, waaater.

A Lifetime of Secrets
Frank Warren
William Morrow 2007
By Paulette Perhach
In 2004, Frank Warren invited the public to send him all their dirty little secrets, presented on anything that could be sent in the mail.
Some are a letter that could never be sent to the person to whom is was written.
“A Lifetime of Secrets” is the third book to come out of the experiment, which has also been made into an international traveling art exhibit.
What kind of thing could people never tell their closest friend, but just have to write down and mail in for the world to see?

My first Friday sunset cruise was tied snugly back to the dock at the city marina and the last smiling customer was helped back onto land. The crew smirked and pointed down the companionway into the dark recesses of the hold.
“Costume time rookie, down you goes.”
“Costumes?” I began to wonder just what kind of boat this was; it must be true what they say about sailors.
“Time to get pirated up.”

His subjects are the slick-haired gentleman, the perky-nosed blond, the drama between them that the prim and proper culture of the early ‘60s hid behind suits and beehives. With no visible brushstrokes, Jacksonville native Mark George, 37, portrays the drama of his subjects on pieces of torn, polyvinyl chloride panels, giving them the feeling of pieces from a collapsed façade.
