Interesting. There’s a mytical creature in brazilian folklore that has the feet backwards that protect the forests by making hunters get lost trying to track him down.

I’ve known John for over 10 years. He was (and probably still is) a fixture in the rave scene here in Los Angeles. I don’t go to house / techno parties anymore (just drum’n'bass / dubstep), but I’m sure he’s still at it! He had some rocking moves, and he’s a really cool guy as well.
