OK, here's something: Is there anyone in this Tribe that got RE-TG tickets and are attending the "TG Recording Session" on the 16th?

okay, i wont lurk then.

i wanted to go to the thing, but i was having surgery, i think it was that (i had a lot of surgery this year), but it might have been that i found out too close to the date (like the day before) to get airline tickets, not that i am certain the govt of w will let me on an airline these days.

anyway.

has anyone got a flier from the show that they did in culver city in 1980 or 81?? i saw it. i used to have a flier. i might still have a flier somewhere, but having one would be nice.

it -was- amazing.

the place was like a government center or something. mostly, since i am, indeed born & raised one block from culver city, ca, i know, they hold things like flower shows there. if they had a dog show & it wasnt at the santa monica civic, thats where it would be.

Throbbing Gristle on the other hand..... it is amazing the building was left standing.

were anything new so good i might still go out.

i stopped going out when i was about 17. largely.

hi, i'm donnie,

ever since i first listened to throbbing gristle early this year, i have changed in many ways...'persuasion' is still one of my favorite songs ever, gives me tingles...absolutely love genesis p-orridge, and psychic tv

wish i were around in the 70s to see TG play

i talk about throbbing gristle/ptv whenever possible, introducing the music to new people

i am tired and not in a good mood but wanted to respond

I <3 throbbing gristle until;;;

OK !!

HI! i'm deet (red planetary earth)

TG completely changed my life and way of thinking

hi there, redux.

i will throw this out, just b/c i love this story.

about a decade ago i was stuck in petaluma. now, i liked petaluma fine, but i had just THE WORST NEIGHBORS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE (they were related on various sides & put together a petition to, i think the city, to try & force me to get rid of my pets. in short, EVIL PEOPLE, gramps age, straight looking, dreadful).

i was completely miserable. it was much, much worse than the time that the wife of huntz hall (of the dead end kids) stuck neckaces of garlic on her door to ward off the vampires that she believed lived inside (or, actually, were) myself & my exhusband.

now, i know i am hard to miss. even in l.a. i am hard to miss, even at this late date. but i was really unhappy & i was on the well, which was my main outlet of actual people to talk to. it cost by the hour then, if anyone remembers. at any rate.

i was writing back & forth to jared, jared --this is a famous cyberperson & a really nice one at that, but, heaven help me i cannot remember his last name, & i began to rant that if genesis p-orridge could be tolerated in petaluma (where once he lived) what the h-e-double-toothpicks problem could they have w/ me??

ah, you know, i was really upset. i had that email purged from the list, as it were.

but then jared put me in touch w/ genesis p-orridge & we began writing email back & forth.

i really -treasure- (i cannot say how much) that email. it is somewhere on one of my old macs w/ a dead hard drive, lost to posterity.

i ended the correspondence when he asked me to join thee process. you see, my exhusband is so deeply involved in that stuff & i am sort of the lightbuilding opposite (-very- light/dark, which makes no sense but is rather precise in its way) & i am so afraid of all of this business, that i --stopped writing. i could not think of how to belong to it.

some of it is just too dark for me; i am just its opposite.

but it really, really liked genesis p-orridge. he was very kind to me & for no reason. he didnt know what i look like, he didnt know my history, he did not know my i.q. (which forces its way into everything), he did not know to whom i was once married (another everpresence), he did not know who else i also know.

he was just kind.

i hate it when people say horrible things about him, b/c i knew a completely different side.

endlos festagge, all. (probably spelled wrong, sorry)

OK.

I just got to hang out and go to dinner with Genesis in NYC at my freind's house. He was SO proud of those BEAUTIFUL breasts, it was a blast. Really fun time -- and great Indian food.

I put one of the photos up.
