Courtesy of Jim McPartland: 8 Things About Porkpie You Didnt (or Possibly Want) To Know, Exactly: 1. Two songs, Alone Again (Naturally) by Gilbert OSullivan, and All By Myself, by Eric Carmen, used to make me bawl my eyes out as a small kid because they happened to be playing on the radio when I was having nightmares. To this day, they distract me a lot if I hear them. 2. Once, when I was six, I completely destroyed and vandalized a mint 57 Chevy in the back parking lot of our apartment complex because I never saw anyone drive it. I found some copper paint and spray-painted the car, messed up the entire interior and turned it into a fort called The Lion Car Fort. I was grounded for a month and to this day its hard to picture anyone angrier than the owner of that vehicle. 3. I used to play harmonica during final exams in high school. 4. I once had a call girl sit on my lap with no underwear while I was playing Santa for children at a local charity event. While her john watched us, rapt. 5. I once had a dream where St. Gabriel showed me what Heaven looked like, and when I asked him why it wasnt completed, he put his hand on my shoulder and said, Steve - youre not dead yet. We just wanted to give you an idea of where you were going. I am not a reilgious man, nor am I Christian. And this is the only time Ive ever dreamt of anything religious or spiritual. 6. My favorite color is orange, and it affects me like pain-killing medicine. 7. I have a shrine at home, anchored by a kewpie doll I found face-down in a puddle of water on Jan. 1st, 2013. I believe this shrine and this doll are affecting my life in glorious ways. 8. I used to get shipped off to my Dads house in West Haven, CT in the summer time as part of the divorce deal, and had no friends there. Except Jim McPartland, my stepbrother Chris, and Chris Lillquist. I used to dig hanging out with them. It broke up the tedium of having to spend the summer working lame jobs, throwing rocks into Long Island Sound, and having no one to run with.
