Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the dreamiest of them all? Choose your fave! Jeff, Steve, John and Dan urge you to vote now, before everyone notices that a certain vocalist just got her pictures on the website. Vote early, vote often!

Name the Drummer

Working toward his greater goal of Rock Star egomania, Dan needs an alias, a stage name, a tag, a handle, something that pompously expresses to the easily impressed, "This is a dude with attitude!" Mere mortals and a slavish rock press will be required to refer to him this way in the future. Only Mom will remain exempt. Vote for your favorite! Suggestions will be taken under advisement by The Drummer Formerly Known As Luke.
