still am a little leary around him..... Delphi lives in my town... She seems to be doing okay.....
There is one person I would Really like to track down!!!!!!! His name is Rick Nesti, I think he had family in Calistoga Ca.

Who is with us/ who is gone?

2008-07-26T06:22:36Z

Man, so many names and faces. Time has erroded away so much. Here's the few I can contribute.

-Bevan- Gone (in the upstairs dept). Now a recluse in South SF
-Mark Shark- still around. Now a hippy somewhere in Napa
-Johnny Hell & Alex- Haven't seen Terrence in years, but still kicking it in the 'loin. Alex is, sadly, all but gone. If she hasn't passed on yet, it's coming soon.
-Sarah- Got clean and is living somewhere in Southern Cal, last I heard.
-Jim Todd- Became a junkie, burned a lot of bridges. Fled SF after stealing from the wrong people. Cleaned up and is now living in Wyoming
-Randy Vogle- Haven't seen him in over ten years (couldn't face him after making a few stupid passes in a drugged-up/drunken stupor at his girlfriend). Last I heard, he was living in Oakland.

Anyone else?

anyone remember the t-shirt guy?

2008-07-20T05:30:07Z

Anyone remember the name of the guy that owned that t-shirt shop next to the mcdonalds? I know I swept that place a few times for beer money. I don't rmeember his name, but I remember he got killed in a burglary, someone almost cut his head off. I was always suspicious that it wasn't just a burglary. Guy used to run his mouth about tongs this and dragons that and how his fiancee's father was in the mafia, stuff like that. Figured he pissed someone off.

Anyway, it's driving me nuts I can't remember his name. Dunno why.

Spike is my Sister and Hero

2008-07-06T19:48:53Z

First I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful comments, they have filled my otherwise sad heart with a small amount of joy. This is very hard for me to write this I Loved my sister soooo much. The man i hold responsible for this is Stephen (Brad) Christiansen, (my wifes first son with another man, raised by her mother). Stephen is a megalomaniac who that thinks the world revolves around him. There was no reason for him to have brought a man with a gun with him, other than that he knew he was in the wrong an that there may trouble. Add to that that he is a coward and is afraid of his own shadow uness he has backup. In my opinion Stephen deserves to be shot down like a rabid antiscocial dog as he has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He has ruined his family. Stephens' wife, Stephanie, is as sick if not more so than he is, as are his sycophant friends (only around because of money). Please do not approach him without proper saftey equipment eg. Shot guns, grenades,and some friends as it would not be safe. If there is a just God He will punish Stephen in an appropiate fashion. Though for the life of me i can't imagine anything bad enough.

Alex and Terrance AKA Johnny Hell

2008-04-06T00:37:46Z

Alex was my sister. I havent seen her in 12 years. I miss my sister and understand I have lost her to drug addiction and the streets. I also realize she might finally be physically dead. I really would love to just tell my nephew Elrick, I love him.

Looking for any friends of "Ripper", he was from Bakersfield, Califorina.

2008-03-28T01:04:21Z

To anyone who might have known my brother, his street name was Ripper as in Jack The Ripper!!!!!!
He lived in San Francisco. Our mother lived in the city. We would go to the city to visit her. Our mothers name was Kat.
She was a very cool person . My brother knew people in Marin, Oakland, and San Jose. There are alot of people I met, but I
younger than my brother. My name is Yvette. If anyone remembers Ripper I would like to talk with you about....

Thanx, for listening to me.

old school sf/bay book starting

2008-03-25T15:56:21Z

hey, some of you may know me, julie generic. i have done a zine called weird weather in the past and while going through these tribes i realized i really want to put together a book of the Old Days. i live up in ukiah and jayed (feederz) also does, we are going to collaborate on this project.

here are a few of the things it will cover:

this book will be both a requiem and a revival of ALL old school punk stories and art, focus on SF bay area. the idea is to get writing, interviews, art etc., from people, alive and dead, who made this city a mecca of demented artistry during the years that punk thrived. i expect there will be certain cross-overs too, as 'genre' lines were not so finely drawn back then.

we will not be covering rivet, industrial, or any of those current manifestations of popular underground music because...well, it covers itself and i am not a huge fan (i do listen but not with the same passion and sense of connection).

what you can do to contribute:

* ideas for the title.
* art: got old flyers, pictures, photos? collage? anything that relates to the topic.
* RIP page(s): photos, music, art of people who are gone; or just a memorandum for someone you miss.
* writing: stories from your personal experiences on the street, in the clubs, with the bands, being there and what was going on with you in general.
* who's doing what now: bands, people, pets; interviews?
* ideas for issue themes: the farm, the mabuhay, the on broadway, powell punks, skate scene (jaks of course!), the early deathrock scene.
* contact page: who you are and how to get in touch so you can perhaps connect with old friends who are NOT dead yet.
* any other ideas you might have: brainstorm with me!

the topics will be broken down into chapters like, and RIP chapter, a 'where are they now' chapter, etc. and this needs to be NON FICTION. in our case, truth is stranger than fiction.

i always knew i'd put together a book, and this is it. we will be approaching vic vale first for publishing.

Our History/Our Family

2007-11-14T17:55:48Z

As we mourn the loss of one of our own a battle is ensuing for the renaming of what we fondly called Piss Alley to Dirk Dirkson Alley. I can't think of a better way to honor the death of one of our own, in fact to honor all of our late family members then to fight for the renaming of the Alley after a man who was instrumental in giving us the place where we hooked up with what for many of us was the only family we ever had....RIP Spike, Dirk and all who preceded you:

Nov 14, 2007 9:02 AM
Subject: Fab Mab Closed Again, Dirk Dirksen Alley renaming help neede
Body: (We did it right on the last night.)

Greetings,

The myspace blog quoted below is from the Tambre, one of the bookers that was attempting
to revive The Mab. They had a great little run. The last night was special, for a moment we brought the Mab and the Mab spirit all the way back. I'll write a review of this tomorrow but not only did I want to share this news with you but also to give an update on the resistance
to Dirk Dirksen Alley.

There is a special meeting tomorrow Thursday Nov. 15 on the renaming of the alley next to the Mab in Honor of Dirk Dirksen. As you know this is just a little sideway, almost a driveway. Hardly even an alley. But someone has decided to mount a resistance to this. I don't know the whole history of the Joey Ramone street corner in New York however it got done but not without a lot of support.

We need BODIES there at the meeting.
(Of course a lot of you do not live here but can still find ways to give
support and I wanted to send you this other news anyway.) It takes place
at 10:00 am in City Hall, Room 263. If you cannot attend please pass the
word along.

Thanks so much for all your love,

- John

THE MABUHAY GARDENS IS AGAIN HISTORY

The people that have the lease on the Mab right now are NOT punk or metal friendly and want to go back to being a disco..... T & T Presents are moving our shows to other venues. You can see where on the calendar on the Mab site which I run as a memorial of the Mab and has nothing to do with the people leasing the space.

However, in that short time we (fab mabbers), while in the old Mab did get the alley name change going to Dirk Dirksen Alley , we raised money for Ness Aquino, and we received a proclomation from Mayor Gavin Newsom for bringing back a piece of San Francisco's history and established Mabuhay Gardens Day in San Francisco Oct 12, and we will be doing an event each year to celebrate.

The last show was a benefit for Ness Aquino, it was a great show, I can't think of a better way to go out.

It's ok, things happen for a reason. It is the spirit of what the Mab means to each of us that is most important.

We are now looking for an all age venue in SF, if anyone has any ideas on this feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your abundance of love and support.

Cheers!
Tambre

P.S. I am having Mabuhay Gardens shirts printed to further support Ness Aquino. Anyone interested can contact me or buy through the myspace.com/mabuhaygardens site soon.

Dirk Dirkson passes

2006-12-14T21:57:50Z

Word is coming in at a trickle that Dirk Dirson has passed. If this is true it's sad that the man who lit a fire under the scene in the late 70s is gone. Of course the source that was quoted to me was Ginger Coyote, how perfect can you get..

Oh my god I have been trying to find everyone for almost 20yrs!!!

2006-08-31T13:53:58Z

Ok it must have been fate that I stumbled upon this place. I can not count how many times I have wished I could reconnect with all of the friends that I lost when I got busted in 1985. All of the great memories of spare changing, eating slices at Blondies, scoring 40's at Dalda's Liquors, drinking in Piss Alley, squatting at Polytech. Well I guess I will get onto the "what ever happened to" section.
I would love to find Uwe, Poser, Rachyel, Stevo, Little Joey (aka Mad Max), Jewey, and anyone else from the summer of 84. I have to thank whoever started this group and I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that has never forgotten the fun and the filth of PSP!!!

well besides Uwe and Swamp Thing's wedding at Polytech High School
was in 1986 when i had 15 tickets to the Ramones at Wolfgangs and got just about everyone that was hanging ( at that moment) into the show. It was a very memoriable evening! nothing can slam dance like a punk that can't afford a ticket... when the Ramones came on with teenage labodomy we all 15 of us hit the floor on que and cleared the muther fucker it was so cool....one of the better memories and the stage dives started soon after.......

2006-08-30T21:17:59Z

Here is a link to the Documentary "SADOBABIES" It is documentary filmed in I think 1984 or 1985. It has great footage of Powell Street and lots of Polytech footage Including the infamous "our School Our Rules" greeting in the first floor hallway. Also there are interviews with Swamp Thing, Little Joey, Racho and others.

It even has footage of Joey Playing his box drums. I know you all have to remember that!!!

If you have never seen this it will give you goose bumps I garuntee it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rod Notley

2006-08-25T06:18:10Z

I was asked to post this, always sad to lose another one...at least I have my memories...

ROD NOTLEY! REST IN PEACE DARLIN..youll be missed

<a href="photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="i39.photobucket.com/albums/e...jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>

A Memorial note from his wife:
"Rodney Matthew Notley Died suddenly on August 7, 2006 in Fort Collins, Colorado at age 37. He was clean and sober. Born October 24, 1968, Rod grew up in Santa Cruz, moving to San Francisco in his teens. Those of you who were part of the club/punk scene or hung out in the Haight in the '80s will remember him as one of "The Twins". A longtime bike messenger and cedar sidewall journeyman, Rod had recently moved to Colorado with the hopes of opening a tattoo studio, biking in the Rockies and making a better life for himself and his family. He is survived by his wife Carole; son, Austin; brothers, Marc and Chad Notley. Rod always said, "it's a crazy life" and would have wanted his friends to remember him with a party, celebrating a life lived fat and hard. So hoist a few in his memory, turn up the GNR, Johnny Thunders or Black Crowes and remember the good times with the guy with the ever-changing hair, beautiful smile and eyes, great sense of humor and lust for life. There will be several celebrations once we return to S.F. and his ashes will be scattered at sea both in Santa Cruz and S.F. on his birthday. Those of you whose lives he touched are welcome to attend. For more information, you may call Carole at 970-308-4695 or 970-416-7788

Marcia and the Sawtooth Fire.

2006-07-13T01:13:38Z

The fire is slowly heading towards Marcia's place. It is still a ways away but she is making evacuation plans. She has goats, chickens, dogs, and cats too. Her last planned evacuation spot is in an area that has been ordered evacuated. So I might be having her farm down here in my backyard. She lives in Morango Valley.

Now that I got your short attention span. All five retarded seconds of it.

I've actually figured out a way to make good use of the "blog" ane "video" feature on myspace. Basically, I've been using it to post what has been come to pass as "old-school" vidoes. You know, the bands that aren't afraid of upsetting the staus-quo. Anyway, not to promote another corporate machine or to daraw others in, I've linked AND posted a lot of rare videos. As soon as I ger my VCR fixes, I'll post even more.

2006-03-25T22:04:57Z

Good lord, I can't count how many times I said that to girls I had just met. Most were shocked that I had such balls to ask. A few slapped me. A few actually accepted. The vast majority said "no", "fuck no" or some other form. They in turn usually were the ones I had the most fun with.

Except for the suburban girls. Yes or no, their reactions *always* ammused the hell out of me. Especially when they would run back for the safety of the BART tube.

Seems like there is a bit of action here on one of the only 2 tribes I read anymore..

So, just saying publicly that Im almost ready to move. My house up here has had a complete facelift. Today we poured concrete in the driveway and later we lay the new cheap carpet.

I do hope this is my last move. So much work!

But its all getting done. Everything is going great although some things have been stressful.

We went out to dinner with Orlando last night to have a Goodbye-for-now dinner.
He is doing very well. We ran into Rachel Royce at the restaurant, small world! Barry I think that he will come to visit when she comes down to Indio for a horse show.

I couldn't think of a better group to bitch to about this. Now granted, any more, most of my interests are milk toast compared to what they used to be...but that doesn't necessarily mean that my friends are all dullish geeks like me...

So in a nutshell, Tribe is planning to ban most "questionable" content, shutting down tribes and kicking individuals.

The guy who posted this sent it to me in tribe mail. He's the guy who gave the puppy we had the best possible home. He has apparently been warned that he will be unsubscribed as of the 20th.

That's as much as I can say on the subject right now...need more coffee.

On quick a side note, though...Marcia, I still owe you some recipes. I've just been too busy to dig 'em and type 'em out. I'll get to them though, truly... Before x-mas even. :-)

Bedbugs and FAME

2005-12-10T05:41:39Z

Steve Stupid was telling me earlier how he has recently become an activist. To try to eradicate bedbugs from SF hotels. He did a presentation at City Hall, and has been involved in meetings with hotel owners and Im not sure what else.

But soon, we can all know, in detail, because The Guardian is doing a feature on him. They will be going to his hotel room tomorrow, and taking photos. He's got a jar of them that he takes around to meetings, that will be photographed. plus a bite he has.

Its all so exciting! Fashion punk turned activist! Look out!

Punks in The Millitary

2005-12-10T03:49:08Z

Mike

You and I are a rare bread. We served our country, and yet both espouse anarchist beliefs. A lot of my close friends are still serving. they know my views. They also know that I support them personally, even if I don't support the guys in charge of them.

But there have always been two things that have bothered me about my service.

1. People's preconcieved notions regarding my service
2. People's reconcieved notions of those that serve now.

Per number 1. I joined the Navy, because I believe in the Constitution. I believe in defending it. That's why I joined. I was willing to lay my life on the line so others could have the freedoms on that document ("too bad you weren't around 30 years ago," my master chief said to me once on the party watch "beacuse that's when guys like you were around.") But I did my time, and I was discharged honorably. And in all that time, I never once lost sight or discarded my ideals. And as I found out later from the the singer from The God Bullies (who served on a ship in my group at the same time I did), I wasn't the only one.

Per Number 2. Too many people assume the guys that are serving are mindless robots. Nuff said on that

Well, mine was smooth and pleasant. I spent the day with my boyfriends family, and they are all very nice and like me a lot, so thats a good thing. A bunch of us took a walk out to the Bay (mom's house is in Emeryville).
Then I went to chair that meeting and it actually went pretty well. It was interesting for me to look back in a concise way.

I voted

2005-11-13T01:56:23Z

Thanks for the voter guide Mike.
It was a real hassle to vote because I didnt get around to using my absentee ballot.
My precinct lines had changed. Without my knowing. or the knowing of the old voting place. I did figure it out. in a really dodgy part of Oakland. I got there and since Im an absentee voter they needed my ballot to trade in, so I had to go home, but then they needed the envelope. so I ended up doing a provisional vote that doesnt get counted until after the election.

Hey, some good news about SF

2005-10-28T01:06:55Z

As many of you know, i posted info about seeing Alex in SF.

Combined with the dead/MIA list, it really depressed me.

Well, some good news, for a change.

Last week, I missed my turnoff coming from Napa, and ended up in SF. To make the best of the day, I decided to grab a beer at Zeitgueist. On my way down, I decided to check out Polk, just to check out the old neighborhood. As I rode down, I saw a framiliar figure. Turns out it was my old friend, Garreth. Garreth, because no one really knew him, was a hard-core skater. He used to skate regularly at The Dish. Anyway, once he moved out of his mom's place, he hooked himself hard on speed. Really hard-core. He ended up ripping me off for a lot of money (but that's another sotry)., because his need was that insatable.

Flash forward a few months- he was arrested in the Powell St. bart station with 50 grams of meth.

I know for a fact that he had no intention of selling it. His appetite was that ferocious. But in any case, he was charged, tried and convivted.

Flash forward a few years....

I'm standing in an elevator. I've decided to grow my hair long, because my family genes dictate I'll be loosing my hair in the next five years. i now have glasses. I've grown a beard (well, one that a mix-breed can grow. anyway). On the elevator, I hear off to my side "Flesh?". I look over, and I see a hardend guy who looks rally familiar. "Garreth?" I ask. Turns out it was. He was there on a work release program. After a brief conversation, I told him I would put in a good word for him.

Short story: he was sent back to serve his full time, afer he tested positive for pot.

Flash forward to the present. I'm riding along Polk, and a see a framiliar figure. He has better clothes. An Ipod. He seems healthy and content.

I am happy.
