When I transcribed this I was using images of my journal pages and some of them were blurred. I need to go back and add the beginning of this entry!
But I was at the Whisky, hanging out outside, then at the Hong Kong, again mostly hanging outside or in the little bar next door, then back at the Whisky, where 999 were playing but I didn't go in.
Some of this is quite embarrassing and confusing, but there's a gem in there that has nothing to do with my complicated love life.
Rotten Egg was Greg Salva, guitarist of the Mau-Maus, at this time my ex. The other Greg was Greg Williams from The Others, later in the Weirdos, another ex. They both were friends with Debbie, who I later became good friends with, and who much later married Greg Salva, who died in 1993. (If anyone remembers her or even knows her last name I would love to get back in touch with her!)
Andy is Andy Sevrin I think. He didn't drive then so I was always giving him rides. Peanut Killer, as I know I have explained in another post, was Danny Shades, another free taxi customer. (Again, if anyone knows his whereabouts, let me know!)
I don't know who was playing at Madame Wong's and I had been there many times, but I guess now I was banned for looking like a "punk locker."
Slim is Rick Wilder and Earl is Rick Sherman, my squeeze at the time. I don't know why we weren't talking to each other, as I am famously easy to get along with, but I've also been told I'm a mystery!
Craig is Craig Stoker; he lived in Long Beach which was another 20 miles out of the way so I didn't like having to give him lifts all the time, but I did.
6 July 1979
Jill came up and at first I couldn’t speak to her but then I
accepted her apology. She gave me a white and handed me a beer to wash it down
with and it had a cigarette in it!!! UGH!!! That was the
sickest thing I ever drank!
Well, then I saw Rotten Egg. He was with Debbie. I got so upset
cuz the two Gregs were talking to each other like old pals and then Debbie came
up and put her arms around both of them.
Pink Section stunk. I told Andy I’d give him a ride home. We went
out and I asked Greg (who was also out there) how he’d broken his finger again,
and Debbie said, “He was defending ME…” and I got all mad. He was
asking Andy to join the Mau-Maus.
We also gave Peanut Killer a ride. We walked by Madame Wongs, and
PK said you could just walk in and he did. Then Kathy and I tried to and the
asshole said, “No punk lockers! Go to the udder crub!” I got SO MAD!!!
So we went back to the Whisky. When I was standing on the corner
some Mau-Maus started crossing the street. Slim’s hair was blue and at first
both Jennie and June thought that Earl was Greg! I looked the other way and
they stood about 10 feet away. Jennie went up and asked Earl why he wouldn’t
talk to me and he said, “Tell her to come up to me.” Stubborn
pride. [Am I referring to him or me?!]
Craig and I crossed the street to fill the [indecipherable] and he
told me to be asexual and not to like Earl cuz he’s a Mau-Mau. But then he
said, “I know you’re not gonna stop though, are you?”
I forgot to say that at the Hong Kong I met Ian from Preston. June got mad – said I
was flirting with him, but I did no such thing! [Was he having a thing with
June? I never even knew how to flirt!!]
Well, Earl left without us speaking. Perry and I watched them
walk off.
Jennie invited the Mau-Maus to her “party.” I wonder if they went;
they might have got there before anyone else, cuz we had to go by Lana’s first.
I was so depressed. At
least I didn’t have to drive Craig home.
