other illustrations: a twisty dragon and Saint George that matched the diameter of the Ouroboros. The head didn't match, but we found two images that we cut up like a Terry Gilliam Monty Python animation - and it even ended up matching my original idea of the 'President's Member' in a way... With a little paste and attention with a hobby knife, we had an image of a dragon Richard Nixon eating a snake Ronald Reagan eating a dragon Richard Nixon and on and on forever. John illustrated some designs around it, and we cut out letters from some old magazines to make up the track names and titles. We called it "The Dawn Ego, OedEPus Demo" with a play on the initials for 'Extended Play' albums.
    We switched gears and moved to the computer to type up some copy for the press kit.
    "What do you think this stuff normally says? What do we include?"

    As the leader, I thought it was my responsibility to take executive action, making my thinking out loud seem a lot more like a solid plan than it really was.
    "Here is what I think - one double sided paper with biographies and a little bit of information about the band. We can print a bunch of stickers out and these tape covers at the Kinko's, and then send that along with the tapes. Tape, stickers, one pager, -oh! and a photo once Jenny has that buttoned up. When did she say that would be?"
    John nodded. "She was going to do it Monday at school, right?"
    "Yes - awesome. I can bring these around as soon as Monday afternoon!"
    The computer booted up and I entered 'wperfect.exe' to get into the word processor. As the cursor blinked, we looked at each other and it was apparent we were lost.
    We had to lie. We lied our asses off to make it sound like we had much more control and an idea about who we were than even we knew. We typed a fabrication and a fantasy. We knew what we were doing, at least it seemed like we did.
    Introducing
     
    The Dawn Ego
     
    The newest grunge band out of the up and coming scene of the original rockers in Twin Falls, Idah o [really? ] , the origins of grunge are unmistakable in the sound of this brash and driven group of young men who have been recording before grunge was even a thought - as early as 1988 with their first single to hit the college radio circui t [since we were 13? ] . Playing small venues, their high energy show seems like they are going to lose it at any momen t [where small venues equaled basement, and lose control equaled the fact that we had no idea what we were doing ] .
     
    The band is currently looking toward new market s [any markets ] to bring their energetic and wholly original grunge soun d [not really ] to any new audience across the nation, and would like to perform at your venue at no cos t [or to just get any gig anywhere ] .
     
    Simply listen to their demo EP and decide for yourself. There is no doubt, however, that this in-demand group will be booked for years to come in only a few short week s [define booked? ] .

    Native to the Twin Falls Grunge scen e [the founder of the Twin Falls grunge scene? What grunge scene? This grunge scene! ] , Keefe founded The Dawn Ego after his other projects The President's Member and JFKFC made huge gains around the United State s [too many president-related images? Maybe it is a theme in my work ] opening in major tour venues in all major citie s [white lie ] . This marks his first foray as leading man, exploring his own themes in his work and leading a team for the first time.
