@ DJCEIBA...For the Almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster so loved this strange, bizarre world that it sent its only begotten Spaghettio (With Meatballs) so that true believers could all dine with much abandon and stuffed tummies on Wednesdays....because Wednesdays will always be Prince Spaghetti Day. And Linguine begat Angel Hair....and Angel Hair begat Ziti...and Ziti begat Rotini....

Hey, Rosenda -- I've been doing my hermit/recluse thing a little more than usual (one of my favorite cousins is battling the final stage of his cancer and it's tearing me apart), but it would be so awesome to meet up with you. Just send me a private message about when you're thinking of coming out and I'll try to free up some time.
Rosenda Comment by Rosenda 1 day ago
Yes, I still go to shows when I can. I was at the Sunset Junction Street Fair this year and it was Evelyn Champagne King, nice soulful music, but then I went over to the crazy stage featuring Fishbone, and then Bad Brains. Got cracked in the mosh pit off to the side but I lived and I had a good time seeing both bands. Bowery Betty, you say you are in San Francisco? Well I am tentatively planning a trip to get to SF/Oakland area for a day or two or longer in the next few months, so maybe we can meet up there for a show. California African is up in Sacramento, another friend of mine G is up there too, and the ever present Loungepunkisto from AP way back is up there too and I hope to meet up with him too. It'd be good to meet y'all in person and reconnect with CA. I'll probably make a seperate side trip to stay up with CA for a couple days in Sacramento too.

@DJ Ceiba -- I started to go to punk shows really young, too. It would've been so cool to meet you in the pit, kiddo! I was around 19 in '86 -- so I still couldn't drink...but that never seemed to stop me -- I promise, I wouldn't have corrupted you! Maybe would've dragged you over to Bleecker Bob's for a few hours, but that's it -- I swear!!! :o)

I missed Murphy's Law when them, The Beasties & Fishbone played Chicago in the late 80's! I was downstate in school & was driving back up here to see the show(It was Spring Break or something too) My trusty 71 Ford Country Squire (Yes, w/ the wood panel'g on the side! Wouldnt have it any other way) sprung a leak in the radiator hose & it took me over an hour to fix it! By the time I got up here got the tics my brother left me & got there the Beatsies were on their last song & it was a wrap! DAMN!!!
