The Year of the Sphere

The Sphere is a year old now.



So there.

This hangs above my bar

It's a paper plate from THE CRAMPS's backstage buffet from back when they played Hammerjack's in Baltimore, or perhaps the 9:30 Club in DC in about 1990... either way, I wasn't there, as my pal Erik Dorr (who owned York's SOUND BIZARRE record store) had backstage passes that I missed out on because I was heading to Florida on vacation. I really regret that, but I'm glad that Erik was such a pal that he had the band members sign this paper plate to me, and I've treasured it ever since...

Now I'm gonna go drink a big fucking juiceglass of scotch in memory of Lux. Stay sick.

Chin up, old stick.
