THE COOKOUT
featuring Fuzzlewhack
and the Vonbonken Siblings Octet

Jazz
Marching Band
Funk
City Pop
Folk
Blues
Final Fantasy XI
& other video games
Come hungry...
FOR BRASS!!
Meet the Band:

Mangosteen
Steens
The youngest... but only by a few minutes!! She's first in line for the cheek meat.
Durian's twin.
Durian
Ans
They're not the youngest and they love reminding you. Puts hot sauce on everything.
Mangosteen's twin.


Lugharou
Lugh
Once lived a life as a skinny, gorilla-armed elf. Bulked up and got funnier (debatably). Couldn't find a clown nose so he settled for a moustache.
Puggleshrek
Pugg
Always has his nose in a good book. Writes music for the band and keeps records of all the covers the band plays.


Bubblepop
Pops
Loves the ocean as much as she loves showing off. If there's karaoke, she's there. Roped Finnegan into the madness (gladly).
Fuzzlewhack
Fuzz
Everyone's favorite gruncle. Will do anything for a good cup of coffee, "black as midnight on a moonless night."


Lizibean
Beans
Claims to be the oldest but certainly doesn't act like it. Cross her and she'll buy you a beer after beating you up.
Finnegan
Finn
"What's this guy doing here?" He's used to it by now. Bubblepop is his partner in crime. Sometimes dreams about watching himself in the third person. Weird, huh?
