This was another funny story, I hope Kate adds her thoughts on it also. We were sitting at the funeral home with the funeral director trying to work out the details of Brad's service and we were trying to decide what picture to put up for the "main" picture. Well after a few thoughts we were leaning towards this picture with Brad and Emily and his guitar. How perfect, how Brad. While all the while Kate was just quietly going along with this. Well, then we had said how we could blow it up to an 8x10 and put it in a frame etc. All of the sudden Kate pipes up and says "Blow it up? You are going to blow it up? Oh I don't know about that." Well why, it should be fine we start discussing, and then she proceeds to tell us that there were some inappropriate things on his guitar and blown up you would see this and it wouldn't be good, and so on. But don't forget, the funeral director is sitting there and Kate is trying to get out of saying what it is, and we are like well, so what , it's Brad, how bad could it be, and then the funeral director even said that somewhat inappropriate wasn't so bad and so on. Finally we kind of forced Kate to spill the beans and I thought she was going to crawl under her chair after she said it was a sticker of an episiotomy! Well she said something about a parenting magazine and a cartoon picture of an episiotomy with a dotted line that Brad cut out and put on his guitar and then named his band that. By now we are all giggling, and this poor funeral director is probably mentally preparing himself for everything else he might be in for, because this of course was only a few minutes into the whole thing. Once again, gotta love Brad!
Happy Birthday Little Brother.

Episiotomy played in my moms basement
Sat, 10/04/2008 - 12:42pmI tried to sing in that band. We sucked real bad. Once I designed a 7" sleeve for a fictional Episiotomy record and I made it into a fold out poster of myself. I thought it was awesome. But Brad and the guys busted out laughing and never let me live it down. Brad hung it on his wall anyway though.

Hi Rebecca
Sun, 10/05/2008 - 7:58amHi, Rebecca. Thanks for signing up and posting. All of us are very grateful to hear from anybody who knew Brad. I am sorry you did not hear sooner, everything was so sudden and moved so quickly we did not even get to think about how to get the word out to more people. Did you live in St. Louis? If you have any pictures or that sleeve or anything you want to post up here, please feel free to put it up. You found this section so you know we have a place for even the stuff that needs a warning. Send it through email if you can. I would love the chance to talk to you someday, after you have had the chance to digest a little bit. I hope you take the time to read through this site, look at the pictures, and talk some more. I wish more people would sign up.
Brad's sister Kris
