Tabletop role-playing games existed for a long time before their video counterparts. With a little imagination and some Mountain Dew you could transport yourself to another realm.The concept of sharing a space that exists only in the players and game masters mind seemed fascinating to me. From the shimmering futuristic mega Cities of cyberpunk to the trans dimensional horrors of Lovecraft role playing games can be a portal. They are imagination technology.

A few of these games were carried at the local bookstores. The artwork left quite an impression on me.

SATYRDAY NIGHT IN WACO

My good friend Buddy Holland played a house party in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Waco. Buddy Holland sounds like a three way between Buddy Holly, Les Georges Leningrad, and Suicide. Waco's American Nightmare also made an appearance after their show at Britt's Burger barn. The band performed some great covers of Classic Misfits songs.

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
