This might be a ridiculous stretch, but if you're a part of the greaser culture here in San Diego, you already know that Unknown Hinson is coming to town. If you're a parent, you've certainly seen and heard the Squidbillies and know that they're something your children should probably never see, though in your heart, you know YOU want to. A cartoon-character voice actor can be dangerous territory, but I promise that Unknown Hinson will speak to the truth-telling and gross and innappropriate parts of you that you wish you could admit on your Facebook wall, if only your children wouldn't grow to read them as life events in ten years. Friday at the Casbah is going to satisfy the child, the comic lover, the character actor, the happy face and the lover in you. All with Unknown Hinson. I'm in. Are you?
