Punk is the new black

In my everlasting quest to become a part of the punk culture I attended a gig last night. Four bands, 20x20 stage, beer, 100 people...sweet music.
The set kicked off with Scurvy, local hardcore mohawk wearing freaks.
Next was Brain Faliure, a 4-man Asian band (I know, Chinaman is the preferred nomenclature)..."(in broken english) We cahm fruh China to da US and play fuing puhnk music, dis is a sahng abouw cahmin to da US, is cah Cahmin to da US."
Third band was River City Rebels. I'm not lying when I say go see these guys. They're awesome live. A little ska, David Bowie and twangyness all wrapped into 7 drunkards.
Wrap it up with the Street Dogs. They were ok, nothing special.

Best find of the evening was this flyer in a local watering hole...

Now, I'm not really sure where to start. Not only is he a magician peddling his skills with a copied 5x7 piece of paper, but he dresses as a pirate. Also note he has family shows. Mind you, I found this flyer on a table next to a rack of shirts that read "I have the pussy, I make the rules." Also notice he is the Premiere Pirate Magician. Is there a Pirate Magicians Union I am not aware of? Feel free to contact Mr. Bones (notice the picture in which he is wielding a large rusted knife) but remember it's an illusion, a trick is something a whore does for money.

I believe the Pirate Magician's Union is part of the "Magician's Alliance". Ask GOB, he'll tell you.

You want me to breakup this Magician Union? I know some good Management Lawyers primed to step on the collective neck of the little guy.
