Dave Penn Austin, Texas 1989 Food Audio Engineering/Bicycle Delivery Pioneer in the "Teknetos Illiteratus" style of guitar playing. The philosophy behind "Teknetos Illiteratus" insists that the only people who should be allowed to play guitar are those who don't know how to play the guitar, as the world has too many white male guitarists already. Live performances have been known to incite riots and topple small governments. Keep Austin Stupid. Fuck "Smart Growth!"
