Mike Carden

A founding member and guitarist of the greatest band on Earth, The Academy Is....

He currently provides the rhythm guitar to Michael Guy Chislett's lead guitar. He also sings backup vocals on two of TAI's songs: he sings "intoxicated circulation" on "Neighbors" and miscellaneous backups on "Slow Down."

He and William Beckett had once been cross-town rivals in the Chicago underground scene, but they eventually befriended each other at local concerts and started up TAI in 2002. This is also known as a fairytale come true.

Mike is known for his classic, half-smiling/open-mouthed shredding faces onstage, where he always stands on the far right side (on William's left).

The one word that can most accurately describe Mike is cute, because that's what he is.

However, Mike was not cute in the evil clown costume that he sported on Halloween, in 2007. He was terrifying then.

Pretty much everyone loves Mike. He's just a likeable guy, who for some reason seems to never know precisely what's going on.

For more information, check out Jack the Camera Guy's episode(s) of TAI TV "The Chronicles of Mike Carden." Jack made a pie chart.
Jack: So, you're saying you're kinda like the fluff on top of, uh, yams on Thanksgiving dinner?

Mike Carden: Yeah, when you eat it with all your friends.... It's tasty.

Candle Queen

A person who gets their way by starting drama, playing the victim, and manipulating others. They are usually very spoiled from their childhood and treat their friends like servants. They are popular at school, but once the truth comes out they will lose all of their friends and respect. They are very childish and immature despite their age.
(The term "Candle Queen" is used to metaphorically compare the drama these people start to a fire.)

Candle Cove

A fictional television show airing on channel 58 at 4:00pm back in the early 1970's.

It was about a young girl who imagined herself to be friends with pirates. In reality, the pirates were marionette puppets. The ship was called the Laughingstock. The pirates included, but are not limited to, Pirate Percy, The Skin-Taker and Horace the Horrible.

The show only ran for a few months after it disapeared without any warning. The final episode was random shots of the puppets screaming and the young girl crying. It did not have a plot line.

In reality, the children who watched the show would actually tune their televisions to static and watch dead air for 30 minutes. The show could only be seen by children and their parents believed they were using their imagination to view a show called Candle Cove.

The show is a creepypasta and was written by Kris Straub. It is told through 4 people on a fake chat forum talking about a television show they used to watch when they were children.

The story and television show are completley fictional; Do not let people tell you they've viewed the show or that it is true for it is not real.

A fake video of the last episode of Candle Cove can be viewed on Youtube.

The story can be read by googling 'Candle Cove'
Candle Cove is not, nor never was, a real television show.
