New Cd's
The Libertines are playing at the Jockey Club Reunion '08 show on November 22 2008 at The Southgate House in Newport, Kentucky. The music starts exactly at 9:00pm.
Joey Shithead the singer of D.O.A. contributed a piece to the Jockey Club Book. Their new cd celebrates 30 years of punk rocking for Joey. I'm proud to say I saw them many times in the 1980s at The Jockey Club. All these years and they are still kicking down the walls..

Onstage with The Exploited!!!
Another shot from the Jockey Club days thanks to Jakki Repellent. I'm onstage behind Wattie of The Exploited. What a night and what a memory. I had those Brady Bunch pants on.It was hot so I went into that hellhole of a bathroom and cut them off. What a fashion statement. I can't imagine life without thrift stores.

I'm Skanking at The Jockey Club!!
This article is from the Sunday Enquirer way back in the 80's. It's funny to see yourself skanking(pre-moshing) around on the Jockey Club floor with friends. Who would have thought 20 something years later we would be publishing a book about the place. What are going to be writing about in another 20 years?Monday, July 28, 2008

All My Friends Are Rich!
Last night I left work at 11:00pm and arrived at home at exactly 11:10pm. In that short 10 minute ride I thought about my friends. I have to say it was no one in particular but the culmination of everyone I know who compliments my life and makes me feel good.
Last week Betsy and I started work on our second book under the Aurore Press banner. It is going to be another charity book. The premise this time is going to be a tribute to the ultimate playground The Jockey Club of the 1980's. We want to get people who hung out there or band members who played there in the 80's to write a piece about their experiences. It is a chance to have fun for a good cause. This meant that I had to take a stroll down you know what lane and contact people from that era of my life. So I headed for MYSPACE and the internet. I made contact with some friends I haven't seen in over 20 years. I hope to make further contacts over the next weeks and months. What a joy to hear that they are doing well and still kicking down the walls.
It is so refreshing to see someone's name pop up on a MYSPACE or E-MAIL message that I admire and respect. I love to see the heading "Just Checking In".
Or, "it's been a while, what's up?" Or, "how are you and the family?" That makes me feel blessed.
I also dig a message letting me know about a friend who is doing a show with their band, or an art show or a book release party or a close circle get together.
I've been thinking lately about my old Jockey Club friends. I think about my wrestling friends. That part of my life was full of dysfunction but I made some super friends. I think about the new friends I have made through my daughters school and how wonderful they are. I even think about my buddies at work who make me laugh every day. I appreciate all the people I met from the release of our first book. Truly committed to the good fight. I think about all the people who put up with me and my rants about politics and religion and yet they still love me and invite me back. That is a special breed of friend no doubt.
So when I say that all my friends are rich I don't mean they are millionaires I mean they are rich ......in spirit!!!!!!!!!
