April - May

• Artomatic poet BRASH gifted Andrew with couplets about ANDROIDS

COUPLETS

To Andrew Wodzianski’s Automatic Ballroom, Pimp-o-Tron, and Bride-o-Matic

Take her out and give her a whirl,

She’s an easy-to-light—up kind of girl.

* * *

Get your swag on and your hard-on

Getting off with the pimp-o-tron.

* * *

Compare prospective brides

Up and down and side by side.

* * *

You think in options you’ll be swimmin’

But you’re the same man, and they’re the same women.

Winter

• Andrew retreats to the studio for solitude and study.  When he returns, expect groundbreaking development on ANDRIOD technology!

• From the archives!  Andrew unearthed a cover letter from June 15, 2002.  Interestingly, the position was given to Andrew Bryniarski.

• Cabin Fever...  All paint and no play makes Andrew a very dull boy.
