A*B*O*U*T V*U
Some frequently asked question is about my name. It is really Vu. It's a popular name in Vietnamese, and it means, "strength", which as a joke I always tell people it is something I lack.

I work for a company called Textron, from 8am to 4.30pm, so this website is pretty inactive in that time period. I like drawing (see below), going to concerts (and stealing setlists), reading, playing video games, pretty normal stuff. I like to collect things, like DVDs, CDs, comics, pop culture, but mostly I collect dusts.

Most of my friends lives faraway. If I had unlimited money and resources, I would always be traveling.

Here are some random drawings I've done:

  • SELF PORTRAIT (Feb 2005)
  • APRIL (27 Feb 2005)

    Things never really turn out the way they should. In 1998, out of my love (and sheer boredom) I started a S*M*A*S*H website because, at the time, there was virtually no information on S*M*A*S*H.

    Because the band had been disbanded since 1997, there was no reason to update (let alone have a 'news' section) so for a few years there was inactivity on the website. It was still online, however.

    Then something exciting happen. In late 2001, a fan or two started writing and telling me that they were sharing S*M*A*S*H music, and basically started a buzz going.

    2002 we had contact with Lee Hague. Suddenly, we are hearing about a possible reunion of S*M*A*S*H. Suddenly, things started to happen.

    So, here we are, where do we go from here?
