Oh yeah, in re the People magazine thing... I think there are still many of us who remember the photo spread they did on the garage scene in the mid-80s.

For some reason I didn't get ANY messages from the Bomp list on Tuesday! I think what happened is that my company shut down the entire system this weekend because everyone was freaking out about this stupid hurricane (that didn't do a damn thing to the Boston area, BTW...just Cape Cod). Is there a copy of the aforementioned article? I went to a party in Tim's hotel room that evening. It was upstairs from mine and got broken up with- in a 1/2 hour. When people started to get too rowdy, he threatened them with his penis! Sad he should say that about the other bands. I didn't talk to everyone there, but I talked to alot of the people, and at least 4 of the bands are friends/acquaintances of mine. I missed this People magazine thing. BTW, does anyone know what became of any of the videos shot at Treblefest? I should be in at least some of them!

I mean, they weren't BAD. I was impressed enough to buy an LP. I would NOT say they were anywhere near the best band. It looks like SOMEBODY needs an ego adjustment! Hmmm...I may not be making friends here, eh? I'm not being very diplomatic! Oh well... >Apparently Tim is putting on a similar concert here called Trips '96. >These things sure are proliferating! Yes, I've been trying to get one started here for about a year now! So far, the clubs have blown me off but the BANDS I've talked to all want to do it. The garage scene is not all THAT big here in Boston, at least for current stuff. I think that the people who are into it just don't go out. I know the feeling. When I first moved back here, I felt like no one knew what the hell I was ever talking about! Of course, if I knew what I was doing...THEN maybe I could get it done. Also, one certain booking agent here just gave me this big attitude and said, "I've never heard of ANY of these bands." So, hey. It's just me. Queen of Her World. I'd probably lose TONS of money, but in a way, it would be worth it to book the bands I want to see! Well, I seem to have caught a nasty ol' headcold over the weekend, so forgive me for babbling as I sometimes get delirious. - -AndreaL hmmm...you got an invalid address?
