This Week's Bastard is a terriffic example of the type of person I am trying to highlight on this page. He is incredibly multi-talented, with interests ranging from playing bass and writing music with the New York City area Goth band Murder in the Dark to working with photography to writing a dark horror novel about a man's descent into his personal Hell. As if this wasn't enough--I do love these ambitious types--Kage is also studying to become a computer programmer and is highly active in a drama organization, where he has acted in Holiday for Lovers and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He is also a film buff (a real plus in my book) who enjoys Hong Kong films, anime, and very bloody horror movies. My goodness--what don't I love about this person? I think what most impressed me about Kage is the fact that one of his ambitions is to help redefine the role of African-Americans in the music scene. In his own very eloquent words, African-Americans should be "able to and should perform in all styles and maintain their integrity, and culture without having to be named traitors to their race. I started out as a death metal bassist and now am a goth rock bassist writing my own music and damn proud of it. And I'm not changing for anybody." Enough said!
As for Kage's preferred Vampire Hunting Technique:

I would attend one of these vampyre club gatherings with two guitar cases, each one filled with 4 pounds of explosives, hair spray cans, a bottle of cooking oil, nails, and screws. I would say I'm a roadie for the band bring their spare instruments. Slipping through the crowd, I would place one guitar behind the band and the other by the DJ in the back of the audience telling the DJ to watch this for it is a prize for the best dressed vampyre in the crowd and walk out. I would got to my car across the street where my friend Alex would be. We would then lay on top of the hood with a bag of popcorn, take out the remote detonator, wait until the music starts, push the button, and watch the carnage insue. Watching the vamps run out like chickens with their heads cut off, I would then ask Alex if he has butter to put on the popcorn. Just another day in the life of the Streak.

Well said *clapping*. Yes, Kage is truly deserving of the title of Vampire Hunting Bastard of the Week.
This Bastard was nominated by Fuchsia.
