Not really, I used to be in touch w/ Stan by email but I haven't been able to reach him in a few years. Only people from B-ton I've been in contact with lately are my friends Mollie (now in Austin, TX) and Jack (living in northern Virginia), not sure if you'd remember them. (Mollie never worked at Rockit's or hung out there much, and Jack was in the Marines out-of-state when I worked there.)

Glad you're doing OK-still in touch with any of the old crew?

Saw a lot of bands play, was in a few that never went anywhere, one that played a few shows (but still never went anywhere lol), now I just play for fun and to entertain my daughter.
"When Mark Allen started playing, it became apparent that the freedom to smoke squares was probably not the only factor keeping music fans outdoors."
You may want to reconsider this sentence. It sounds like you're saying his playing was driving p...
