Tom Westoll
Have you heard of the band Kelamines? Their name’s a cross between ketamine (an anaesthetic drug sometimes used recreationally) and melamine (the potentially toxic chemical compound used in manufacturing some plastics).
You haven’t? Of course you haven’t. “Kelamines” is a typo we printed in our June 13 event listings. It’s actually Ketamines (who, as far as I know, played June 23 at the Artful Dodger). Fortunately, alert Wiener Tom Westoll alerted us to the error. Tom’s a cartographer who cycles to work and likes beer, which he has already spent his $10 prize on. He also won a spiff Typo Wiener T-shirt. Congratulations, Tom!
