And The Publisher Shoots...Well, here we are again; in M a r c h …Where the heck does the time go? As you may or may

not know, I’ve been recovering from my motorcycle accident that happened on January 17 of 2012, I still can’t walk, thank God for wheelchairs and walkers but my left leg seems to be healing. I crushed my right thigh bone and messed up my knee and leg so I’ve got a lot of titanium parts in my right leg. It should be fun when I want to fly again going through the airports. I’m expecting to be on my Harley again by April 2012, at least that’s what I am expecting; now what the doctors expect is another story but I’ll keep you informed and updated. My concussion

is slowly healing; I have a little hard time remembering things, (especially if I owe you money, hahahaha) but that too will get better, I’m sure.

We had a lot of successful charity bike rides last month and I wish to thank everyone that helped, it is very important that we all continue to support our fellow man.

We want to welcome our new advertisers in this issue. I ask everyone to stop by their places and let them you saw them in the papers.

Watch for a new billiards tour coming in midsummer or fall of this year, it sounds exciting and a good chance for some players to make some real money.

Have a great March and be careful out there, have fun and play fair.

I guess that’s my new theme song, “ON THE ROAD AGAIN” I just can’t wait to get on the road again, boy is that an understatement!

I saw my surgeon on the 28th of February, I was hoping he would tell I’d be good to ride soon but said to come back on April 4th and he would let me know if I could START to put weight on my right leg. So I guess it’s going to be at least May 2012 before I can expect to be back on my Harley.

My intention with this column

is to keep everyone informed as to my recovery and my future adventures on the road again. I promise I’ll do more exciting things in the future so keep an eye on me and keep me in your prayers.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN “I WISH”

THE DART STARR

IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR DEAD

WHO WOULD IT BE?

Amy Lee for sure! I got to meet here last October and she

was so rad! I gave her this huge hug and didn’t want to let go! Lol. I think I scared her.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE "CHEESY" SONG OF ALL

TIME?

I love Cyndi Lauper’s Girls just wanna have fun, somewhere I have a youtube vid I made of me lip syncing

with a hair brush dancing along to this song in my

bathroom! It was pretty ridiculous and fun!

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT IN

AZ?

Joes Grotto definitely! The drinks are awesome and I love

YOUR NAME AND/OR THE NAME OF YOUR BAND:

Nikki Brutal (Nikki Donnell)

INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY: Vocalist

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/MUSIC:

Well I have a rougher style voice! I think I sound a lot like

Lzzy from Halestorm or Joan Jett!

So old school rough with modern aspects!

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED TO

PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU?

I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. I remember singing along to Pat Benatar and Britney

Spears on my giant radio in my room in front of my mirror

pretending I was them and when I was 9 I was obsessed

with my Heart will go on, my mom used to make me sing it for all my family and friends lol. I did choir in elementary

and high school and after Evanescence came out I knew

that I wanted to be a rock vocalist.

Joe and my momma bear.

WHATS YOUR POISON/DRINK OF CHOICE?

Jager! And Red Devils. Oh my I’m always falling over on that stuff!

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST SONG

YOU PERFORM?

Dream Killer. I nail that song everytime!

WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT MONTH?

March 4th at MCC And St. Patricks Day at Joes Grotto, drinks are on Top Dead Center during the set.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT YOUR BEST SHOW

EVER?

I’d say when I was in a battle of the bands with Top Dead Center and this huge ass crowd was there and jumping and moshing! It was literally a sea of people jumping with me with fists in the air! I felt like the leader of a musical

induced cult!

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A

MUSICIAN?

When people come up to me and tell me how much they

love my music! It makes me feel all giddy and fuzzy

inside! You can’t wipe the stupid grin off my face after someone says that to me, or they ask me for my autograph like I’m some big shot.

DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART STARR

NEWSPAPERS?

If I see em around I definitely pick them up and check it

out!

DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE YOU

AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?

Always!

CONTACT/BOOKING INFO:

Nikki, facebook is best for me

Facebook.com/nikkibrutal

YOUR NAME AND/OR THE NAME OF YOUR BAND:

My name is D.L. Christy IV and I am 1/4 of the band VEX.

INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY:

I play kazoo, theremin, shakers, bullhorn, tambo, thunder tube...Probably a trove of other oddities. I am also the

orator.

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/MUSIC:

VEX is a project that is difficult to hang a label on. We use film, art and literature to create foundations for each song.

I suppose, by definition, that is an alternative approach. That being said, I feel that the Alternative genre is a misnomer, also by definition. When hard pressed for a summation, we usually call our music Heavy Alternative Art Rock.

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED TO

PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU?

I’m not sure I have "learned" yet. I attempt to react to (and

create on top of) the canvas the music presents. This approach leaves me in a place of perpetual learning and

evolution. I can say that music always captured and

entranced me. I’m not sure I was specifically inspired as

much as I was compelled to become one with those

feelings.

IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR DEAD

WHO WOULD IT BE?

If I could jam with anyone I would choose Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He is Pakistan’s Elvis...So to speak. He had a

voice that could increase not only in volume, but in spiritu-

ality as well. Divine.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE "CHEESY" SONG OF ALL

TIME?

My favorite cheesy song, with the exclusion of all VEX material, would have to be Liquor and Whores by Bubbles. That is today's answer anyway.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT IN

AZ?

There are several AZ music venues that I love. However, I am a big fan of Joe's Grotto and The Blooze.

WHAT’S YOUR POISON/DRINK OF CHOICE?

My drink of choice would have to be original Absinthe.

Tamii’s “Catch” Winner ...and some other entries

Page 9: The Dart Starr Newspaper

TO AdVErTISE YOUr BUSINESS IN ThIS pApEr CALL JACK 623-340-0481

9MARCH 2012

THE DART STARR

However, we don’t always get to choose.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST SONG

YOU PERFORM?

The best song I perform is undoubtedly Jesus Loves Me,

This I Know...But those performances are relegated to

showers and intense love making sessions.

WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT MONTH?

VEX will be performing at Joe’s Grotto on Saturday,

March 24th as part of The Festival of Flesh event. We

return to The Grotto again on Saturday, April 7th for an

encore of the highly successful All Acoustic Event. Our

brothers in Contrary To Reason and Whiskey Six will be

on hand as well as more incredible yet to be named

talent. We’ve done each show ( Festival of Flesh and All

Acoustic Event) once already and they are both up there

on the short list of favorite events for us. Both are

HIGHLY recommended.

DO YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT YOUR BEST SHOW

EVER?

If I had to tell a story about our best show ever it would be

riddled with lies, inconsistencies and gaping holes...The

truth is that I simply cannot remember that beautiful bitch

of a show.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A MUSICIAN?

My favorite thing about being a musician? You would

have to ask one of the three "musicians" in VEX. Unfortu-

nately, I cannot claim that descriptor as I simply jump

around like an idiot and holler inaudible rants into a micro-

phone.

DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART STARR

NEWSPAPERS?

I honestly HAVE read a few issues of Table Talk/Dart

Starr. My favorite issue featured a penetrating interview

you conducted with the sexy and talented Chris (of the

semi-popular and always amazing Whiskey Six).

*DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE YOU

AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?

We are always open to investigate any new performance

opportunities.

CONTACT/BOOKING INFO:

We can be reached at: 1) www.vexband.com 2)

www.facebook.com/vexphx.

YOUR NAME AND/OR THE NAME OF YOUR BAND:

Josh G.-69 Sins

INSTRUMENT YOU PLAY:

Guitars/Vocals

BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR BAND/MUSIC:

…continued from page 8.

I always have a hard time with this question. We have

many different influences throughout the group. The most

generic placement would be to label us ‘Metal’. But, we play more melodic stuff, some hip-hop, etc.

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU LEARNED TO

PLAY AND WHO INSPIRED YOU?

I was a late bloomer when it came to my instrument. I

didn’t pick up a guitar until the latter part of Freshman year in High School. My friend Seth Beckett out of

Flagstaff, AZ inspired me to pick up the guitar. He made it

look so easy…so, I figured it was. Nope…

IF YOU COULD JAM WITH ANYONE ALIVE OR DEAD

WHO WOULD IT BE?

Mike Einziger-Guitarist for Incubus.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE "CHEESY" SONG OF ALL

TIME?

Ahhhhhh, there are so many! I can’t answer this with just one song…

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VENUE TO PLAY AT IN

AZ?

The Orpheum Theater-Flagstaff, AZ

WHATS YOUR POISON/DRINK OF CHOICE?

Jager! Any which way!

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE THE BEST SONG

YOU PERFORM?

I don’t really have a ‘Best Song’. As a band you grow in to team, then a family. That’s exactly what 69 Sins has become…a family. That being said, I can’t speak individu-

ally on this topic. We all have our weak points in certain

songs and, of course, our strong ones. I can say my

favorite song to play live is a newer one called, ‘Rip-Off’. Which will be on our next E.P. coming out sometime in

May. Really quick, I have to give a shout-out to my

brothers…David Wahlstrom-Lead Vocals, Alan Rogers-

Guitars, Stephen Santana-Bass/Vocals, Mitchell Toten-

Drums.

WHERE ARE YOUR GIGS FOR THE NEXT MONTH?

This Saturday, the 25th, we will be playing Joe’s Grotto. Our next booked show is April 14th, at 910 Live. For Mosh

Pit Army’s MetalHead Fest VI.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A

MUSICIAN?

The friendships you build with fans and other bands. Not

to mention, the bonds that grow inside your own band

and with family, immediate to the group.

DO YOU READ TABLE TALK AND DART STARR

NEWSPAPERS?

I’ve picked up ‘Dart Starr’ a few times in various bars.

DO YOU PLAY PRIVATE PARTIES AND ARE YOU

AVAILABLE FOR BOOKING?

We play Purgatory Productions shows out of our studio.

Kick-ass sounds system, fully stocked bar, and so-forth.

Everything you could ask for of a standard venue.

Come Hungry!(Always Good Food)

Come Thirsty!(The Westside’s Craft Beer Headquarters)

On Saturday, January 7th, 70 dart players from across the state gathered at Kirk’s Korner to honor Tim Sexton’s memory and to raise money for the family he left behind. Though we were all together for a sad event, it was nice to see how we can all still come together for a cause that is close to our hearts. Shooters came from as far away as Flagstaff and Sierra Vista, as well as Prescott and Tucson. There were plastic and steel players, Masters Shooters and old timers, and many people who hadn’t thrown a dart in years. It seemed as though every League in the state had someone there and with only six steel boards it quickly became a Single Elimination Tournament.Liz Treasure was on hand as the coordinator for the events. She ran the raffles smoothly as well. We had a lot of donations for prizes including an autographed Cardinals football, a pool cue and case, Dart Master Accessories, and some fancy beer too! Nichole Delaney and Katie Graham helped run the 50/50 drawings. Bob & Judy Kirk, along with their staff, friends, and family, kept the food tables full, the brackets running smoothly, and the

drinks flowing. As stated, 70 players signed up, yet there were no truly stacked teams. It looked as though anyone could win. Everyone knew, as is true with any Single Elimination Tourney, both players had to be on top of their game to make it into the money. It was nice to see plastic and steel players coming together with no ill words or attitude. The day, I have to say, was huge success in that regard. The entry fee was $10(with half of that going back to the family) and the bracket paid out to 6th Place. Many of the winners donated part (and some all) of their winnings to the family fund as well.As everything came to a close, Liz Treasure presented Mike Sexton and his family with just under $2000. It was an emotional moment for all of us. I would like to thank everyone who came out that day. Thanks for the food, the donated raffle prizes, the time and effort spent to bring it all together, and the time you all took out of your lives to honor Tim Sexton. It was truly a great day to be part of the darting world.

On February 18th, Kirk’s Korner hosted a Benefit Memorial tournament to celebrate the life of Katie Lawien. Katie passed on January 21st. The benefit proceeds went to her family to help at this time of great sadness and loss.With 22 teams, a Chicago Style Blind Draw was played. Katie’s daughter, Melodee Lawien, signed up to play as well in her first tournament ever. She used her Mom’s darts. She drew Don Stankhus and they did very well considering Melodee had just learned how to play cricket a few days prior courtesy of her 8 yr old son. There were many raffle prizes donated and a lot of money was raised from the 50/50 drawings as well. Almost everyone donated their winnings, both from the tournament and from the 50/50’s back to the family. It was a real sense of family in Kirk’s Korner that day.

Thanks to Bob and Judy Kirk for bringing us all together and to Pam Young for keeping everything running smoothly. Bob Junior was our Tournament Director and did a great job as well keeping the boards in play.As the brackets played down there were a few stand out teams as well as a few surprises. But it came down to the top four with Mike Sexton and Edie Smith sitting on top of the Winner’s Bracket. Bob Junior and Chris Rader battled it out to take second but could not beat the leaders twice. Some really great darts were thrown all around but Mike and Edie came out victorious!Thanks to everyone who came out to play and who were there to honor and remember a great friend, Katie Lawien! Your generosity and support to the family in this time will always be remembered.

IN HONOR OF KATIE
