(Breakfast yesterday in Ballard with producer/musician Jack Endino…got a Kandi Coded record out of the deal, so now I have an excuse to get a turntable)

As put together by my beautiful wife…
Chris Hanzsek’s present to me upon completion of a 2007 Mt. Index hike.
First Young Fresh Fellows club gig poster. (The inside joke is that everytime I’d mention Uno, my wife would say, “Isn’t that the Popllama guy?”)
The world’s greatest rock n roll band.
The Cokes!

Mr. Seattle reads my book!
Green River reunion show, July 2008
The joke here is that I kept telling my wife, “I’m working on this Red Dress piece. I’m working on this Red Dress piece.” It’s finally up on the blog in the cutting room floor section.
(This bush–photographed by me in Seattle’s University District in 2007–died in 1988, and relates to a story involving members of TAD, Mudhoney, and a street gang. More to follow…of course this begs the question: why was it still there?)
Johnny in his classic stance….photo from Paul Hood, whose band, the Meyce, opened.
(I look like shit, but at least Kevin looks good…note Kevin’s buddy peeking out from behind him. He told me some good “meeting James Brown” stories.)

Moore Theater, Seattle, October 21, 2011
at Two Bells Tavern, Belltown. If you read my book, you’ll notice I spend more time on the U-Men than any other band–and that includes Nirvana. So, yeah, it’s pretty cool chatting with the U-Men’s bass player over a beer. Plus, the bar played Deep Purple (“Hush”) and Led Zeppelin (“What Is and What Should Never Be?”) in the background. What’s not to like?
Another shot of Jim and I…in Charles Peterson style…
