Chappaquiddick +5 at the Office, Nyack, NY, 1983. Guitarist Danny, on the left, wore a Hess gas station attendant shirt that night. Me, on the right, wore a Hertz Rental Car shirt. I really got out a kick out that:
Chappaquiddick +5 in the Borscht basement, 1983. This was Steve's basement in Pearl River, NY. You'll notice Mike, front right, is holding a Schaeffer beer along with his cigarette. That was the beer of choice in the Borscht basement. Tall boys:
Borscht at CBGB, 1983. This must have been just prior to Connie leaving Borscht and joining Chappaquiddick, which is when Adam Nodelman came into the picture with Borscht:

Me at a loft party my band, the Gibson Girls, were playing in Boston in 1989 or 1990. I had bought the coat that day at a used clothing joint called "Dollar A Pound." I gave it away that same night:

I used to get HESS toy trucks when I was a kid for Xmas.
A) I'm really enjoying these posts on the early days...
B) Was that coat fur?
A) I'm glad someone is! Thank you very much. I wish I had time to write more!
B) No way. There was this great thrift store in Boston. You'd go really early on a Saturday morning and there would literally be huge piles of clothing filling this loft space. They would hand you a garbage bag on the way in. On the way out they would weight it, and you paid $1.00 a pound. Besides the fake fur, I think we all bought gas station attendant shirts with embroidered names on them and wore them that night at the party we played. We all got a good laugh from the shirt that had the name Dick on it that my friend Phil bought.
