Not sure if anyone else in here knew him, but just thought I should post that Jamie Ewing (Bent Outta Shape/ The Lazer/ Bossy) died from drinking last week. For those of you that knew him and are in the PNW there will be a memorial of sorts held after punk brunch this coming Sunday. We'll probably just go drink 40oz and break them down by the water and say some sad things...another fallen homie. Shit don't seem to end.

For those who don't know, Jamie (Bent Outta Shape, The Lazer, Long Island weirdo, bubble butt w/bad haircut) passed away. I really don't like talking about this stuff over the internet, but I know there's a lot of people who knew him who would want to know.
I don't really know what to say here except that I'm pretty torn up about it and I know a lot of other folks are, and I hope everyone's doing okay or being there for each other.
Jamie, you were an old old friend and I'm gonna miss the goddamn shit outta you. Whether you were being a total pain in the ass, utter wildass, or epic sweetheart, you were a genuine friend I could count on one way or another-- whether 3,000 miles away and only spending a couple drunken hours together outta the year, writing letters, late phone calls cause neither of us have ever been all that good at that sleeping shit, blacked out smashing your glasses wrestling on Joe Porter's bed, on completely busted short tours together, bailing you out of getting your ass kicked, you bailing me out of getting my ass kicked, giving you endless amounts of shit for something or another, arguing about how I think you have really bad taste in music, you telling me punk rock is stupid, playing music together, and other strange wildness throughout different states over the past 10+ years... it's been a long time-- weird, huh? And I guess I'm just feelin' it pretty hard that there ain't gonna be more. Hope you're finally getting some rest, homie.
