As we started writing songs and playing sshows i found myself becoming compleatly infatuated with Tim. he and i would sit in the tiny kitchen on Clay st. till all hours of the morning talking about what to do to make the band ork better. he would write down thing on a 'to do ' lit for Debbie and leave it on the table for her to ee the next morning. I can not say how muh she hated that. i mean he really hated that. i had a big crush on Tim, who was straight, of course. he was looking at me as a good friend and i was thinking how i would be a perfct boyfriend. how tupid i was. in my zeal to b honet i told him one night that i liked him more that jut for a friend,,,that i had a super crush on him. he as real nice about it, but things were never the same. thinking back i really don't know why i felt the way i did. i guess i was lonely or something. but i'm became pretty depressed about the whole deal. Phillip and Debbie hated the idea that i liked him in that way.
Mean while the band ws getting better and better. Jalter all, we were practicing almost every day. Jello Biafra and i had been friendly since th Dicks from Texas had played with the Dead Kennedy' s back in Austin, and a few time in SF. He had also been a fan of Lynn's old band The Wrecks. He asked me if we were ready to record an album and if so did we want to releaseit on Alternative Tentacles ? we did. i was wtching as we moved away from the hard core sound. we never hadth gritty dirty sound of the Texas band anywy. but we were tarting to move in a whole different direction. again, thi would have been the perfest time to re name and move on. but i didn't. Debbie and Biafra had thought it would b a good idea to do a little tour before recording.
