this is the 1st time i ever put any of my stuff onto the bus so that i can ride into manhattan with them. we go to rough trade where pat does an interview and we watch a bit of the boston show video. while martin and i walk around manhattan before the soundcheck, phil drives around doing errands. the burglar of loves cousin breaks into the van and offs with my 16mm movie camera and all the Pineapple Tuesday footage, and EVERY SINGLE JBC TAPE I EVER HAD. bottom line: i lost my ass. being on the JBC bus, it was not insured. julians hollow body guitar is taken too. he has to borrow angelos for the rest of the tour.
