Sprout
by Hesta Prynn, Ph.d.

Sprout will name your song. Sprout will name your band. Sprout may even name yo' mama! Sprout is "tops" at naming things. Some other things Sprout is great at: organizing yo' room, dealing with "the merch", talking you down in times of crisis. Sprout can play every instrument known to man and also has my dream hair. Sprout and I both enjoy the movie "Clue", and let's face it, Sprout is a ho who enjoys a cocktail! I have known Sprout since i was in fourth grade and she was my baby-sitter. Back in those days I annoyed Sprout quite a bit. I like to think things have changed. Sprout has been driving my ass around since 9th grade, and for that I am grateful. Sprout and I don't agree on everything, and we are on opposite sides regarding issues such as cleanliness and vegetarianism. Some might even call Sprout "anally" neat, but I know that she's just looking out for everyone's safety. Sprout is the proud "mother" of two - Gordan, 6, half rabbit half dog, and Gerald, age unknown, pillow/monster. On long car rides Sprout may entertain you by impersonating characters from "Best in Show." Sprout is fantastic in an emergency as Sprout is also something of a mountain woman - if Spero and I were lost in the wilderness we would be eating one another's flesh by the third night! Thank goodness we've got Sprout to lead us to safety. Sprout is also writing a book for 12-16 year old girls about how to start a band that will be published in the spring of '08.
