WHERE ARE THEY NOW - JAMIE HOTLYXX: A year ago, I made a video for the song “A Quickening/Steiner in Ellipses” featuring a few special characters. How’s the last year been for them?
No one really knows what happened to Jamie Hotlyxx after he climbed that mountain with his guitar and got struck by lightning. They said no one could survive a direct hit like that, but they never found his body. Some say he’s still up there, and if you come at the right time of night, you can, even now, hear an echo of the high note that shook the heavens and lit up the sky.

Special thanks once again to Liz Teisan (filmed every BB shot!), #ZZSatriani (video editor/co-director), Mike Keneally, Rick Musallam, Gene Hoglan ''Official Page'', Dan Teisan, Jay Smith, Kyle Hughes Drums, Forrester Savell and Steve Brogden for bringing this ridiculous and wacky video to life.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW - MIMI PAAMBIDOU: A year ago, I made a video for the song “A Quickening/Steiner in Ellipses” featuring a few special characters. How’s the last year been for them?
Mimi Paambidou deleted all of the music content on her various social media accounts, and has been traveling the country in a converted van, documenting her experience. Her following has quadrupled, but she swears she doesn’t check the comments anymore. Most of the time.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - CHAD DOUCHERY: A year ago, I made a video for the song “A Quickening/Steiner in Ellipses” featuring a few special characters. How’s the last year been for them?
Chad Douchery spent the past year trying to become an influencer for a company that makes scarves and body spray for men. His band broke up when they refused to wear the products in the video they were shooting at home during the COVID lockdown. Lately he’s been “doing his own research” and working up a solo acoustic act.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW - B. HARRISON FIRESTONE: A year ago, I made a video for the song “A Quickening/Steiner in Ellipses” featuring a few special characters. How’s the last year been for them?
B. Harrison Firestone (C.P.A.) had his best year ever at work. His accounting firm was so busy managing the special COVID-era loan programs and tax reporting that he had to turn away clients. He had tickets for the Dream Theater tour this fall, but it got postponed and he’ll have to wait for next year. In the meantime, his wine cellar is fully stocked.

I always suspected the spelling of my first name was the superior version.
If you have a loved one named Brian, please make sure they're okay.
