The Pixie
The Pixie is no stranger to challenge. After the fall of his mid-‘90s boy band, “Twice Nightly,” The Pixie sought to reinvent himself. He dabbled in Asian cultures, Mortuary Science and pursued a short-lived career in amateur wrestling, where he fought under the pseudonym “Vlad the Embalmer,” before finding a calling in the underground worlds of Street Racing and the barely legal Robot-Cock Fighting. He honed his talents for turning rust buckets into racers and soon his award winning cars were featured in some of the finest shows of rural America and Canada. He stepped into the fighting ring once again and quickly rose through the ranks with bone crushing blows of his birdbot, captured in the low budget documentary “When Doves Cry: A love story.” The Pixie was later discovered by a producer for the Food Network, when he was spotted in a park, eating a blueberry pancake sandwich filled with corned beef, pickles, salsa, kettle chips and candy corn. This penchant for unusual combinations led to his own odd cooking show called “Are You Gonna Eat That?” where viewers could watch him make and eat meals from random pantry items. The network cancelled the show after only ½ a season, but cult fans can find syndicated episodes on late-night PAX TV. Following this brief stint on television, The Pixie decided to turn his attention to the world of dance. He auditioned as a back-up riverdancer for the musical rendition of the Off-off-off-off Broadway play “Dance, Michael, Dance!” inspired by Michael Flatley’s unauthorized autobiography of the same name. Due to lack of investors, the show was dropped, and The Pixie found himself again at a career crossroads. For weeks, he spiraled out of control. He retreated into his basement, where he gorged on pixie sticks, scooby snacks, pop rocks and Coke. Intervention came when friends discovered The Pixie rocking, quoting, and obsessing over the movies “The Dark Crystal,” “Cloak and Dagger,” and “Krull.” He voluntarily checked himself into an undisclosed rehab facility and is now making his way back into the spotlight. It seems The Pixie cannot be stopped. His passion for the unimaginable has laid the foundation for his Hobocon 2008 experience of surviving 4 days armed with little more than wit, Mountain Dew and dumb luck. Meet the man. The mystery. The Pixie.
