On February 21, 2025, I said my last goodbye to my most loving and amazing godmother, Lynne Marie Stewart. However, my entire life I only ever called her “Ba”. It was the first sound I ever made as a baby and when she heard it she said “He said Ba! He looked at me and said Ba. I’m Ba now!” So forever and always, she was my Ba.
Many of you may have known her as either Charlie’s Mom on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or as Miss Yvonne AKA “The Most Beautiful Woman in Puppet Land” from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. But I always knew her as the glue that held my parents’ chosen family together. She was always in my corner rooting for me. Always there to cheer me up. And always a phone call away to just hear a friendly voice and rant about something silly. She did that for everyone she knew. Always putting others before herself.
If you asked anyone who really knew her, they wouldn’t say they “liked” her or that they “liked liked” her. It was always “I love her”. She was just that special of a person.
I wish I could give you one last big hug or hear you tell me another dirty joke at your own expense, or even just see you looking at me, fully engaged as I tell you about my day. But I know you’re resting easy now and I’m so honored to have had the privilege to have you in my life the way that I did.
I love you Ba. Forever and always.
Arguably, the hardest year I have had to live through so far. A lot of not so fun things happened in 2024…but I would be lying if I didn’t acknowledge that a lot of fun also happened as well.
All the smiles I could have possibly had this year wouldn’t have been possible without all the friends and family that I am lucky to have in my life. Seriously, it is so insane to think that I am so fortunate to have these people and so so many more to live life with. I love you all so much.
And as much as I will cherish all the good memories made this year, I haven’t a second thought when I say that 2024 can royally and throughly fuck all the way off.
2025 for A.B.C.
On Saturday, June 15, 2024, my Dad passed away.
He was truly the best dad ever. He gave me my love for music, reading comic books, watching action movies and loving the simple things in life like a good burger or a simple slice of apple pie.
My dad loved to read, watch any and all mystery and crime TV shows, make the blackest cup of French roast coffee, geek about anything Sci-Fi and/or comic related and made sure to reminisce on classic blues music or learn about new folk and rock music of today (he loved Foo Fighters and Royal Blood and was really getting into Billy Strings).
Life will never ever be the same without him. I feel so lost without being able to see him every morning or ask him what to watch on TV. Even just in this moment now I wish I could just hear him say “whatever you want big guy” whenever I’d ask what he’d want to do.
Dad, I love you so much. Thank you for everything. Not a day will go by where I won’t miss you and think about all the good times we’ve had together. You will forever and always be everything to me.
See you soon Pop.

Some of you may have heard, but for those who have not, @midnighthour_sfv unfortunately had a recent situation involving a leak in the building due to the heavy rain we’ve been experiencing. The damage has left The Midnight Hour with repairs that will cost them $15-20K (out of pocket), and this will only cover fixing the structure of the building. With the damage of the building, came even more damage to equipment and gear that the venue uses for shows.
And while most venues would cancel upcoming shows due to these damages, The Midnight Hour continues to prove that they’re a place for the community and has confirmed with us that our show on February 17 is still happening.
We are so gracious to Sergio and the MH staff for allowing us to still have our show and we want to make sure that our show has a purpose for happening. So as of today, ALL PRE-SALE TICKETS BOUGHT FOR OUR FEBRUARY 17 SHOW WILL GO DIRECTLY TO HELPING THE MIDNIGHT HOUR.
The Midnight Hour is an incredibly special place for not just us, but for so many other people. We appreciate all they have done for us and want to make sure we show them love back. Pre-Sale tickets are only $10 and every single dollar will go to MH for its repairs.
Let’s show this amazing venue how much it means to us all and fill the house on February 17.
A Go-Fund Me can be found in Midnight Hour’s bio as well. If you can, please support them more through that.
🚨NEW @notsocollective SHOW🚨
I can’t even begin to tell y’all how hyped I am for this show. I’ve been going to @midnighthour_sfv for the last few years and it has quickly become one of my favorite venues of all time. And now, not only booking a show there with Not-So but ALSO playing there with @sortakinda666 …. I’m geeked. And then not to mention, I also get to do this whole thing with other bands that I love and respect!?!?!? Come on man. @fang.banger@noellesucks and @mediocretheband are my favorite and I’ll be going nuts for all their sets.
Pre-sale is live NOW. Link in bio. I hope to see all the homies there! Love you.

Riot Fest sucks.
I love my friends.
I hate taking multiple trains.
Would not recommend eating pizza 4 days in a row.
Always remember to put a shirt on.
Fresh Oil forever.
