I lived next door to you and as I recall much of my income went to pay your rent by way of records--I got the first Shudder to Think LP (the one on Sammich), I think the Kingface 2x7" live bootleg, lots of other stuff. I remember feeling bad about it at the time because you were giving me very good deals. I also remember we ate at Tortilla's like four or five times a week that summer. <BR/><BR/>SBWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-79595141808147681762008-08-14T01:16:00.000-04:002008-08-14T01:16:00.000-04:00as memory serves, some of the original releases of...as memory serves, some of the original releases of phyte records, jawk records, we did some repressings of certain troubleman releases. we made patches for cave-in from boston (full color iron-ons). pretty much anyone that would come hang out with us from 10pm to 8am, we would make their record cover/zine/flyer/whatever. it was a terrible and awesome job. i would work all night and go straight to school at 8am for 2 5hr long studio art classes 3 times a week. needless to say i was a zombie. at some point, ben convinced me to quit the job with him and just "hang out" all summer. i think that is when hal decided to leave and tour europe and i was left alone in atlanta, jobless and broke in ben and my apartment (13). that's when i sold 90% of my record collection to pay rent for the summer. good times indeed.proven hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927472315857327819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469040123326158640.post-83846712729285596052008-08-13T15:12:00.000-04:002008-08-13T15:12:00.000-04:00I was thinking about all the Atlanta singles, etc....I was thinking about all the Atlanta singles, etc. made at Kinko's during this run.
