Benefits
Galore
happened in SF in November... The JOHNNY GENOCIDE
benefit held at LENNON STUDIO'S was a
huge success raising a few thousand dollars to help JOHNNY
-thanks to the hard work of so many people... I know
THE DMR TWINZ, DENISE DEMISE, KAT, MICHELLE REBEL,
JENNIFER PATTERSON and so many more were
insturmental in making the event happen..... All the bands kicked
ass and it was great that ROZZ REZABEK was able
to play a set of NEGATIVE TREND songs to a crowd
larger than a the few people who had attended his shows prior to
the benefit... He was backed by one of my favorite bands
THE LEWD.... On
a sad note it was also the last time that most saw SPIKE
alive... On November 12 she had an altercation with a
Landlord in Humboldt and she lost her life...... PAUL
DAVIS who played in BONNIE HAYES and THE WILD
COMBO and THE YANKS went into a coma
after complications with his elbow caused by Carpal Tunnel and he
was pronounced dead on Sunday Morning Nov 10, 2007.......The
second day of the NESS AQUINO benefit at Club
443... On the day before I had flown in from LA and my plane was
late landing due to rain... Raining it was indeed and I was caught
in the middle of the rainstorm with no umbrella.. I met
LULA PERLA at PUERTO ALGERA to get a key
to her place and the electricity was off.... The gang at
PUERTO ALGERA were on the phone canceling reservations
and deciding if they should just close.. After all it was a
Saturday one of their busiest nights... DEBBIE, WILLIE
and LORENZO were in a pretty good mood
in spite of the ordeal......I went to LULA's
-changed and took off in the pouring rain to North Beach to
Club 443 for the NESS AQUINO Benefit-
where I saw TAMBRE , KATHY PECK, DAVID
DENNY, RANDY SEANOR, SWEET TOMMY, THE SHEETS , MASON DENNY, CARL
MACKI, TONUS, CRAIG POP ARTIST (Who designed the
backdrops and decor for the benefit) ALANA, MIKE DINGLE
(the BEST Stage Manager) , THE LIFER'S
and various other folks who braved the storm to attend the show..
Sunday was a nicer day and LULA and I took a cab
up to North Beach to the club.... The Benefit show was loads of
fun and filled with lots of great folks who came to support
NESS....I saw STANNOUS FLOURIDE, RUBY,
IKE, KATHY PECK, RANDY SEANOR, HUGH "JOHNNY GENOCIDE" PATTERSON and
his sweet wife JENNIFER, TROY AQUINO, LULA PERLA,
LOBSTER,

himself.. It was great to see him... He
was weak and older but his mind was very sharp he remembered most
everyone and he was so happy to be remembered !!!!!! It met alot
to him and his family..I had not seen him since the early 90's....BARBARA
BORIS made a cash donation but could not attend because
she is living in New York..She sent her love to all... Sadly it
was the last show that TnT PRODUCTIONS would be
hosting at the Club 443- but it was the perfect show to end a run
with. I would like to thank all who made doantions and supported
both benefits.....On Monday I stopped by PUERTO ALGRE
and WILLY and DEBBIE informed
me the electricity went out yet again on the block on Sunday. So
they lost another day's business... PGE blamed the storm on
Saturday for Sunday's outtage.... JASON GLOVER

at first thought it was broken......

way cool meeting Actor MICHAEL PITT recently..
