Ah, good deal. I haven't lived there for so long now, that it is hard to remember addresses.
Not sure I remember the night with Collins and Clarke, but I would have went just for Clarke. I miss the weekends when there were too many quality shows to hit up.

There was a Kimball Collins night at Motor that was great, but only because Dave Clarke, Godfather and Assault played in the side room ;) > Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 09:51:40 -0700 > From: lupikitty0...@sbcglobal.net > To: alugo...@yahoo.com; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: (313) Kenny Larkin/Schlomi Aber "Sketches" > > > I figured we were on the same wave length.
