A lot of stuff that was confiscated belonged to regular people.  I got a
six channel mixer for $75.  I got ten packs of bass strings for $11.  The
auction rocked!!!  If any of you remember the Somewhere Else Tavern on
Freeman Mill Rd., Dave, the guy who ran sound, was one of the primary
dealers.  He got out of jail around early 1992.

I was in a band that played Kilroy's a lot.  It was a bad club.  Really
bad.  We opened for ands like Two Pound Planet.  We also played with
powerhouses of today such as Athenaeum, Wish for Fish, and a whole host of
groups from out of town.  Has anyone heard of Mighty Purple?  I think they
are getting big- in the sense that they have sound engineers and touring
sound rigs and stuff like that.  That's not to say they are good, of
course.  I haven't heard 'em lately.

Infinity sucked for us.  Some guy who appeared at our show accosted a
patron of the gay bar next door and got maced.  Yeesh.  

I tell ya, there's enough bad karma out there to keep me inside for a long
long time.
