sorry about your friend. maybe go in and visit? i think your outrage is proper and more or less normal but i can understand people reacting callously too. it depends where you've been. i don't really know the town these days as well as i used too, but life started getting absurdly cheap beginning back in the 80s. too many guns and too much drug money is my kneejerk analysis. i don't mean to implicate your friend, but the attitude carries over into cars and clubs and whatever it takes for a shooter to define himself.
i came to say hi and ask a sort of oddball favor, but i'll email you later or come back again.
i was wondering if you had any idea about how to contact lesley rankine (she sang with pigface and ruby) given your history with sp? i worked with her a bit in the 90s and she's come up recently but i haven't much of a clue. i was intending to go down to the pigface show last night and ask about but i had to be somewhere else.
i'm prepared to go to 750 for rent but i'd rather find something cheaper. theoretically, i could rent half this place out for that amount but i need to confirm it with the landlord. is that in the ballpark of your friend's place?
Getting shot is not normal and in no way funny... well... you know, unless it was a clown.
