Songs for Shaun Faulkes
I've known cute little Shaun since he was a noobie nooba noob. So when Orson Pfohl asked me to step in and cover his set at The Winchester as a last minute favor I thought to myself, "Self, what sort of songs do you want to play tonight?" Since Shaun used to DJ after Orson (and habitually skipped his sets), I met Shuan at the Win and we've been talking about music a lot lately, I deciede to try and lure Shaun out of his SL hiding by dedicating my set to songs for him. And it worked! He came out for the last half.
And let me tell you ladies...that Shaun Faulkes can sure tip!
