HUNTER VALENTINE MANIFESTO: The name Hunter Valentine represents a certain kind of person…an attitude. Think back to your days in junior high. You’re at your school dance and you have been waiting for this day all year long. Why? Well, because now your hopeful ass has the chance to slow dance with the love of your twelve-year old life. When you finally stop sweating profusely and Total Eclipse of the Heart (your favorite song) comes on, you deicide it’s time to ask your crush to dance. She’s sitting on the bench near the wall with her friends; you approach slowly, but, just as you do… Jimmy Dean (the cool guy) grabs her hand and drags her to the washroom. You follow. What do you see? Jimmy is smoking a cigarette in the girl’s room and when he finishes he grabs her and they start making out. Fuck you Jimmy Dean. So if now you ask, who is Hunter Valentine? JIMMY DEAN. He is the heartbreaker that fucked up your chances. He is the bad ass inside you that comes out every once and a while. We say “he” but anyone can have a little bit of Hunter Valentine in them. If you don’t love him, then you want to hate him. But you can’t. Because he is just himself and he never promised you anything.

Heyy. :)I know you don't know me or anything... But I saw you guys when you played at DIAC in 2007. I forget which one of you are related to Mr. Lloyd, but he's encouraged me in a lot of ways, as have you guys. I'm currently now the only female performer in my band, and I'm one of the only female bassists I've ever seen, but you guys showed me that maybe if I'm in a performing arts camp, I'm capable of doing what you guys are doing if I put my mind to it, because everybody has to start somewhere.I just thought you guys should know that. That was technically my first show that I've ever seen, and though the moshpit was pathetic there, I just played a show, and it was pretty awesome to see some of the same people doing the same for my band's music. Here's a link to one of our videos... It's not one of our best recordings, but it'll do I suppose haha. I don't expect you guys to look at it or anything, seeing as I'm sure you have tonnnnes of other shit to be doing, however, I thought I'd give you a chance to listen to something performed by an inspired fellow female performer. :)http://www.new.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=37965478704Hope you guys get a chance to listen to it.. :)
