Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!

It's the

Newsletter..."Funkdafied" edition!

School’s almost back in session for all you college folk and high school is right around the corner.

Did anyone really get a chance to take a vacation? I did ... Sorry!?

Our economy isn’t doing too well, but that doesn’t mean you have to give in and be a bore.

I managed to save up some dough, play a few extra gigs with my band Mento Buru and off it was to Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland, yes Knott’s AND Dis.

I don’t care how old you are, once I pass through an amusement park gate, I turn into the biggest kid. Two days of running around, Tower of Terror, Indiana Jones, and stinky people. It wasn’t that bad — after a while, I came to the conclusion that we all have a “funky” side as humans, and there’s only so much AXE spray to save the world — just go with it. Shout out to my not-so-stinky son Mark, Josey, and her son, Brendan who joined me for the adventure.

When I got back to the office, Bakotopia was in full swing, and we’re back and packed with fruit-flavor!

In this issue: Jarod Palmer Intrudes and Alerts!; NL survives the Comic-Con nerdathon; Buck Shot gets berzerk; Jason Frost gets evicted, if you don’t take his books; a punk lit party at Russo’s; 800lb Gorilla is giving away a sweet bass; Gamestor Gil talks Maddenflu; Circa Survive magically appears; and more!

I heard from Chase — our former Super Intern — last week, and he says all is well in San Diego (so far). Good Luck, homie!

Don’t forget to visit our wonderful advertisers who keep us FREE! And if you spot an empty Bakotopia magazine rack, let us know, so we can fill you back up!

Special “Gracias” to photographer Joseph Gomez, who came in to save the day last minute.
