I learned my friend and bandmate Doug DeRienzo passed away.

I hadn't talked to him in a long time but I thought I could just call him up, if I could find his current number.

Jimmy and The Wolfpack played Black Betty on Al's birthday.

We had to go on late so some weak indie rock band could play. That was a bad idea on the club's part.

We attempted to silkscreen the Hi-Balls record sleeve.

We tried making the Hi-Balls 7" with a rudimentary silkscreen apparatus. (A Speedball kit.) It didn't work out.
