and mandy, i *was* looking for you!  like i said on the list - were you just roaming boyztown or actually at the coronet? ;-)

and yeah - happy LA previews 1997 bennytour!

KC and i went and saw "fully committed" tonight - it's a *good* show and man, mark setlock could teach all of our joanne's a thing or three about juggling phones :-)   it's at the coronet in WeHo - good show - go see it!  (missed you tonight amber & mandy, but it was nice talking to you today :-)  when ya'll (ahem, lori) have got your collective asses back in town for a minute, we should go see it together!   i *will* see you all next saturday come hell or high water (pagers in tow, but i'll be there dammit!)  can't wait to see you all, even tho, well... it's bittersweet, ya know?

(newbies - read your rent book to find out who mark setlock is).

my friend lisa is trying to put together a team for the LA AIDS Walk, which is Sunday October 15th. 

"I have officially registered a team, which is called bonusround.  If anyone would like to participate or donate money to this worthy cause you can e-mail me at Books79@aol.com. Thank you for your help.  Lisa" 

i can't say it any better than that - you *know* how i feel about it.  anything you can do or want to do to help - contact lisa.  the people reading this site know the drill (and if you don't know it, email me so i can come thump you upside the head ;-)

some really old pictures from kat - chicago - and milwaukee.  damn girl, get your film developed once in a while ;-)
