The Ramones on Long Island

Aug 11th, 1979

Went out the Long Island to see the Ramones. I stayed at Geri's house so I could see the Ramones 3 nights in a row. How great is that, 3 nights of Johnny! I did not get to talk to Johnny at all but I think he noticed me from the stage. He did this wild & amazing movements with his guitar. I thought I would die. I got 3 guitar pics. He got all embaressed during Surfin Bird again when it was really quiet except for me screaming for him. He made this quiet motion with his finger. It was so cute. I kind of think of that as sort of our song. Oh Hail True Love.

So before the show, it was really scary because we drove past the house where they have the Amityville Horror movie. It was the real house that it happened in. I was even afraid to look at the house.

More David Johansen

Aug 9th, 1979

I went to see the David Johansen Band at the Fountain Casino. Ugh - was it ever an awful night. I spoke to Frankie LaRocka in the beginning of the night and he said he would give me his drumsticks which he never did. Tommy Trask did not give me 1 guitar pic. I only got a few that he knocked off his mic stand. The only time I think Tommy even acknowledged me wwas when they came out for an encore and he came out with a bottle of coke. So he looked for me and pretended he was going to pour it on my head. The show sucked anyway & it was a pretty short set. I should have gone to see the Ramones tonight instead. It was a toss up and I think I made the wrong choice. I'm thinking of not going to see the David Jo band anymore. God - I do this all the time. These 2 bit musicians aren't shit. I should just totally devote myself to David Bowie.

Onto the Ramones

Aug 5th, 1979

I went to see the Ramones the Fast Lane in Asbury Park NJ. It was so great since I was once again right up against the stage in front of Johnny Ramone. During Surfin Bird, when it gets really quiet, I always yell really loud for Johnny & I did & he smiled and laughed and gave me a guitar pic. So some kid grabbed it from me and Johnny gave me another one. Oh also, how great is this, Johnny dropped his guitar pic during the set and he did not have another one so I handed him the one he gave me and he used it. Then after the show we went into the dressing room and I actually got to talk to Johnny for awhile. It was so great. We talked about the movie & other stuff. It was pure heaven. God how I love Johnny.

And Still More Heartbreakers....

Aug 4th, 1979

I went to Max's again to see the Heartbreakers and I think probably for the last time I will ever see them. I know that I have said that before but I mean it this time. I am just getting so sick of them and Johnny's bullshit. Everyone is so convinced that Johnny Thunders is going to die soon. It seemed like he could barely stand up this time. All of the Blessed were there again. I spoke with Billy most of the night. I refused to say Hi to Howie but he finally came over to us. And he was so f'ing obnxious. But it was so strange to see him wearing the rosary beads I gave him around his wrist. I wonder if anyone ever asked him where he got his rosary beads from, if he would say where he got them. And guess what, the Blessed are recording on Wednesday and they might put out a single on Bomp records. God I can not wait. I will play that record to death.

More Heartbreakers at Max's

Aug 3rd, 1979

I went to Max's to see the Heartbreakers. Before that I went to see Rock n Roll High School with the amazing Ramones. It was so great - I saw through it 3 times in a row. I could not get enough of it. I also saw Frankie LaRocka in the movies. So after it was over we talked for alittle while. God he is such a sweetheart. Max's was such an f'd up night. All the Blessed were there but had some attitude. I found out that Marina never was with Billy after all. But that is only according to Billy so who knows. I gave Howie Pyro a pair of rosary beads. Billy was really drunk which was quite funny. After Max's we went to some after hours club called the Nursery but it was so boring there. The Fire Dept came and made us all leave, I guess too many people in the club or something like that. Oh I also saw Tommy Trask outside of Max's. He gave me a little wave but all I did was glare at him.

Joy Avis

July 29th, 1979

Went to Max's to see joy Avis & the Avis Davis Band. It was kind of boring. I saw Jerry Voidoid with some sleezy girl. He gave me such a nasty look when he walked into Max's. I ran into Marina later on at CBGB's. She said that Howie Pyro asked her to spend the night with him but she passed out. I can not believe that he would like Marina, I think he is lying. I also found out that she was with Billy Stark in the Mudd Club bathroom. I guess Marina really is a Blessed girl. She is going away to Europe for 1 month and I sure as hell hope that she does not come back.

Just a Movie & more David Jo

July 25th, 1979

Went into NYC to see Ladies & Gentleman the Rolling Stones. I had never seen it before, it was really good.

July 28th, 1979

Went to see the David Johansen Band at Alexander's in South Jersey. I was ok. I spoke to Frankie LaRocka for a really long time. He is so sweet. I spoke with Tommy Trask for alittle while also. I got so many guitar pics from him while they were playing. I got kind of mad at him during the show. I think I just get alittle crazy at times. Those bands can do it to you.
