Hanging out is Austin was good. but i knew the other guys were not planning to return to SF. why would they. they had lovers and friends to live or ty with. they had jobs waiting for them. i on the other hand was having a blast in SF. Phillip and i were like brothers and i lived with him. Debbie and i were like family now, too. i had gained a bit of populairity in SF amoung the punk scene so going back for me was not only easy but i looked forward to it.
During the time we were there our SST album KILL FROM THE HEART got shipped to us. too bad it missed the whole tour but we tore into the boxes and were thrilled to see the big beautiful album cover. it looked so cool. Carlos had done a great job. too bad, upon openning the album the wrong record was in the covers. open another one. another etc. every record had the wrong vina. i went ballistic we had a instore record release party the next after noon and a show in a couple of days. Debbie got on the phone and fixed everything. They promised to send a batch in time for the party and the show. we had to ship the ones back they had sent. i wish now i hqd kept a few for collector's items. the records did come and we did have the party.
soon i knew every was getting a bit pissed at me and i felt the same. Debbie's parents sent her the money for both of us to fly back to SF and leave the old van with Buxf. i soon left Austin to reform the Dicks. a san francisco Dicks.
