Justin Kern believes the difference between a weather forecast and a "Futurecast" remains hidden behind a wider conspiracy propagated by a powerful cabal of TV meteorologists. He also claims to have discovered the Bay View "Earth Handle" (on Homer near Howell, ask for a tour!). Some of the notes he makes can be heard by the bands Crappy Dracula 2, Fudgy, Solutions, Amnesiac Couriers, Buffalo Bills Boogie, and ADMEN. Some of his other words can be found at justinallankern.com.
