By T. Mike Childs
xT. Mike Childs is a North Carolina native, a member of sketch comedy group the Van Gogh-Goghs, and creator of the Web site furnitureporn.com. T. Mike Childs is a true Renaissance geek, equally at home discussing the finer points of Spinal Tap with European royalty as he is coding HTML for his sketch comedy group's Web site, vgg.com. He began writing and performing comedy while attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then held a succession of tedious jobs that afforded him the time to compile The Rocklopedia Fakebandica and its sister Web site, fakebands.com. So, despite what you're thinking, he didn't have anything better to do than write this book.
