Hey JB, do you have that picture of you, eric and me in the field after the fire was put out? I wound up catching Mono that weekend and hallucinating without LSD for the next week or so.
I'm into puppets, metal work, design and production. I am currently the Crew Chief/Stage Manager/Tech Director for Events and Media Production at the Walker Art Center.
What bands are you or have you been in?
Rump Rangers (Hoe-Down Syndrome etc), LD-50, Disney Fixtures, Truckadelics (briefly), Sick City ... Some others I may be forgetting. I have only done one band since leaving Indiana, "Never Been To Memphis", a short lived colaboration with a bunch of fellow Minneapolis low-lifes - which was fun. Now there is so much great music coming out around the country that I prefer to enjoy it as a listener and occasionally from the circle pit. Did anybody see the Anti-Flag/Briggs/Street Dogs tour? Hellacious!
Oh, you're a member of the Brotherhood. Great. I only just started acting in '04. I like it a lot. I still play guitar every so often, with friends, but never actually joined a band or really played in public, except I've provided a little background music on a few Folding Chair plays.
Austin is great but way too crowded now. I am actually outside of Denton at this point...not doing anything too exciting...trying to figure out what's eating my pepper plants while keeping my kids from disemboweling each other.....well I guess it is exciting sometimes...I get to travel quite a bit which can be cool but way sucky too...gearing up for 8 weeks in Cairo....I'm glad you finally showed up dude!
Working at a college library, not getting an English degree. Writing. Marcus Geduld is here too, and he has a theatre company. I've done several plays with them. I'm lucky to have an in like that, because I don't actually have a Theatre degree either. You've been *very* musical, seems like. I'm looking forward to hearing some. I'm flying out to B'ton to see my sister and my nephew from 22 July to 1 August, but the rest of the summer I should be in NYC. Hope we can meet up!
Family life is cool-unusual-but cool! Who'da thought huh? Figured there would be some kinda law about me breeding-when they didn't come for me after the first I had another! Ha! That'll teach the Man! Now there's replicas of me running around!
Seriously though, being a parent is my next great adventure. Glad you found us here...I think your name came up in the "Where are they now/have you seen them?" blog in the 80's Bloomington section. Puppets huh? Sounds way cool-post some pictures!
I took a closer look at the box for the Gizmos tape. Apparently from a Public Library simulcast, with MX-80 and Loner. I must have most of it on a cassette, the reel is marked as overflow, studio break music and a bridge between the sides of the cas…
a random Gizmos thing, huh? I would very very much like to hear it! Hey, weren't you involved in the 'gagage band' video shoot right before they split town? I capped it and made a DVD if you want one.
March of 79 would indeed have been during my fi…
Wow missed this thread Mike-sorry I didn't answer--I don't remember Zo's Motorcycle story. He talked about 'Nam a little but never really went into details other than to say that it was one of the reasons he couldn't stand living in the White man's…
I had to go look on the tapes to check that. Luckily I'm at least organized enough to be able to find them easily, having all my tapes in the same corner of the basement. That was March 1979.
I also found a few tapes from the last day that the stud…
You know who you are, come out and be counted!
Did you spend countless nights at Second Story?
Did you eat at Rockits?
Can you barely remember the 1990s?
