Season's Beatings to all PUNK GLOBE readers.... 

May your Holidaze be Healthy, Wealthy and Fun!!!

Benefits Galore happened in SF in November...  The JOHNNY GENOCIDE benefit held at LENNON STUDIO'S was a huge success raising a few thousand dollars to help JOHNNY -thanks to the hard work of so many people... I know THE DMR TWINZ, DENISE DEMISE, KAT, MICHELLE REBEL, JENNIFER PATTERSON and so many more were insturmental in making the event happen..... All the bands kicked ass and it was great that ROZZ REZABEK was able to play a set of NEGATIVE TREND songs to a crowd larger than a the few people who had attended his shows prior to the benefit... He was backed by one of my favorite bands

THE LEWD.... On a sad note it was also the last time that most saw SPIKE alive... On November 12 she had an altercation with a Landlord in Humboldt and she lost her life...... PAUL DAVIS who played in BONNIE HAYES and THE WILD COMBO and THE YANKS went into a coma after complications with his elbow caused by Carpal Tunnel and he was pronounced dead on Sunday Morning Nov 10, 2007.......The second day of the NESS AQUINO benefit at Club 443... On the day before I had flown in from LA and my plane was late landing due to rain... Raining it was indeed and I was caught in the middle of the rainstorm with no umbrella.. I met LULA PERLA at PUERTO ALGERA to get a key to her place and the electricity was off.... The gang at PUERTO ALGERA were on the phone canceling reservations and deciding if they should just close.. After all it was a Saturday one of their busiest nights... DEBBIE, WILLIE and LORENZO were in a pretty good mood in spite of the ordeal......I went to LULA's -changed and took off in the pouring rain to North Beach to Club 443 for the NESS AQUINO Benefit-  where I saw TAMBRE , KATHY PECK, DAVID DENNY, RANDY SEANOR, SWEET TOMMY, THE SHEETS , MASON DENNY, CARL MACKI, TONUS, CRAIG POP ARTIST (Who designed the backdrops and decor for the benefit) ALANA, MIKE DINGLE (the BEST Stage Manager) , THE LIFER'S and various other folks who braved the storm to attend the show.. Sunday was a nicer day and LULA and I took a cab up to North Beach to the club.... The Benefit show was loads of fun and filled with lots of great folks who came to support NESS....I saw STANNOUS FLOURIDE, RUBY, IKE, KATHY PECK, RANDY SEANOR, HUGH "JOHNNY GENOCIDE" PATTERSON and his sweet wife JENNIFER, TROY AQUINO, LULA PERLA, LOBSTER, MIKE DINGLE, ROANNA RAPHAEL, PORTIA GLASSMAN, KENINE VOYLES, BECKY WILSON, PAUL CASTEEL, LISA FETTE, POLKACIDE, EAST BAY RAY, STEVE DIMARTIS, THE SYMPTOMS, CARL MACKI, MINUS ONE, ALANA, THE VKTMS ( JOHN, LOUIE and STEVE), J .

It was great to see him... He was weak and older but his mind was very sharp he remembered most everyone and he was so happy to be remembered !!!!!!  It met alot to him and his family..I had not seen him since the early 90's....BARBARA BORIS made a cash donation but could not attend because she is living in New York..She sent her love to all... Sadly it was the last show that TnT PRODUCTIONS would be hosting at the Club 443- but it was the perfect show to end a run with. I would like to thank all who made doantions and supported both benefits.....On Monday I stopped by PUERTO ALGRE and WILLY and DEBBIE informed me the electricity went out yet again on the block on Sunday. So they lost another day's business... PGE blamed the storm on Saturday for Sunday's outtage.... JASON GLOVER bruised his ankle really  bad recently.That Must To Hurt!!!!! He at first thought it was broken......  

It was way cool meeting Actor MICHAEL PITT recently.. Who is a real Hottie!  I loved him in " THE DREAMERS" and  "THE LAST DAYS" ...He also doubles as a Guitarist in the NYC band PAGODA...Speaking of talented Actors who also rips as a Guitarist- JONATHAN GRIES is feeling better after a bad bout with the flu...And sadly JONATHAN RHYS MEYER was popped for drunk and disorderly...  THE LIVING WRECKS are excited to be heading into the studio to record their full length in early December...
