Found a few more items from my Assassin archive...

As Straita Head Sound was being gutted for demolition, I stopped by to see Gary and picked up a few items from the ground as souvenirs. I've kept them all these years and now they are in the place of honour they deserve.

Assassin was the first show I ever saw there... and the last. The flyer is the original master I created for their first reunion show on July 5, 1986. There would be two more reunions: Club Mirage on Feb 6, 1988 and 4th & B on April 17, 2010). After that first reunion show, some of us would party in a doctor's office and get arrested. I believe the set list is from the infamous Little House on the Prairie Halloween show in 1985. Also included is the merchandise card inserted in the Assassin 7" single (Treason/All Your Love) plus a membership card for the Assassin Killer Rock Fan Club. Enjoy!

A letter from Thomas in Martyr sent to a company I co-founded back in the day. A nice little piece of San Diego rock history.

If you performed at Straita Head Sound, you are immune from COVID-19. Unfortunately, it is only because you hooked up with that one groupie (you know the one) and your immunity came with an incurable case of Super 80s Gonorrhea™. Be safe out there.
