I've heard nothing but good things about this motley duo - apparently they're the bee's knees live. Come watch Dave Arnold and Shawn Butchart slip DEEP into their rapper alter egos, Margetz and Pointy Beak, then slip right back out and get drunk!

She designs, makes, patterns, draws, sews, shoots, models, dances, bombs, travels, speaks four languages including German, Indonesian, French and English, entertains, paints murals... in fact, I'm not sure why I didn't start with what she doesn't do. Maybe sit on the couch eating crisps?  Actually, I think she probably does that too.  Damn, woman!
