Brandon writes testimonials.
Of course he does;
he’s a journalist.

A journeying nihilist,
he fills in the cracks that you never knew existed.
The sincere one,
the jagged, pasty putty at the edges, that will eventually harden and smooth over with use.
Because you knew there had to be that one guy
the tall
űber-geeky,
comic books motherfucker,
Spider Jerusalem
at the cafe.
(Was there ever a time I didn’t know who that was? Since he has been following me, it is hard to recall…)

Brandon makes shaky reasons for becoming a journalist
("Mommy, I want to be Spider Jerusalem when I grow up!")
look pretty darn valid.

Maybe I will write testimonials too.

My earliest and persistently favorite memory of Brandon is from the first time we both worked the State Fair in Palmer- he at the Subterranea booth, me right next door at the hair-and-face-painting booth. It was raining cats and dogs, and most of the fairgoers were gone/going, but we were all required to stay open for a couple more hours. My booth had loudspeakers perpetually playing music, and I was in a mood to dance in the rain. So I did! I looked up to see a few of the Subterraneans watching from the shelter of the doorway- and moments later Brandon appeared in a wifebeater and shorts and began dancing with me. Now when I say dancing, I mean swooping arms, twirling with bent knees, hipswayingbodyshaking celebration of movement for the joy of movement, totally unself-conscious, circling each other, mirroring each other- I still have yet to feel such complete synergy with a dance partner since. Brandon, in short, rocks.

You don't want to mess with the lifeform codenamed B.R.A.N.D.O.N. (Bodacious Robotic Attacker of Nether Demons On Nitrous). Seriously, if you piss him off, he can Au Batido you from like a MILE away. I've seen it. It's frightening.
