Monday nites at the Covered Wagon were pretty fucking dangerous. Were you there the nite we were all smoking PCP? I love that time of our lives, and cherish the dreams - $10 seemed an impossible dream. a hand made chapbook preferably on hand-made paper seemed as much of a literary goal as necessary or possible. funny that you lived upstairs from the genius Bana Witt and only knew her as the crazy lady who complained about noise. i miss my heyday, and am still not unpacked having moved in here in august. My 'novel' is in about half a dozen boxes, plus a great number of poetry fragments plus a lot of napkins w/ drawings by The Mysterious Mr. Clam, a true treasure. A long wild time and a sad decline.

Love you too, homie. There's also this from my next book in the also by page, re. Jones Inn: <em>This is my first book and I don't recommend it. I was twenty-one when I wrote most of it and the publisher, a good friend operating on a small budget, misspelled my name on every other page. </em> Later, on page 103: <em>HR offered me two weeks severance but I said it was going to take me longer than that to recover. The VP of Sales called me into his office and threatened to have me killed. I told my employees to watch my door and make sure it never closed. A meeting was scheduled for six at night in the boardroom on a Friday. I got the next plane to Los Angeles and went into hiding with Hart Fisher, my first publisher, in Granada Hills.</em> Ha.
