ahhh Karen!

avatar identification time!!

that's me in a band rehearsal in the storied "Apartment X," a cavernous dwelling above an A&P in downtown Park Slope in which four guys lived very comfortably for next to nothing. at least one of them is definitely reading this (the bass player in the right foreground) and could, if he wished, supply the actual rent. if I look sort of distant, it's because I'm thinking stuff like "jeez, if you don't play or sing, band practice can sure be dull and lonely."

it's probably mid or late '68 or very early '69 so yeah, that flag is ironic.

and you NEVER digress pointlessly. that's MY job.
