back when i was a kid in the 80's, i used to help out at the caribbean food-stand my mom set up at the town fair. every year she would get the same spot underneath the drive-through pavilion. likewise, every year the fair-organizers would get the same lame-assed cover band to play right next to my mom's stand. i think their name was "Phil and The Cruisers" or "Billy and the Drifters" or some shit like that. they knew about 10 songs and would play for like 4 or 5 hours, just repeating the same crappy 10 songs over and over again. i remember sitting there listening to "867-5309" for the fifth time that day and wondering how much trouble i'd get into if i just yanked their power supply and ran. on a side note, back in 1990 i was in a deeply-committed relationship for about 10 days with a girl whose number was 867-5309. her name wasn't jenny, though. |

an old portland number of mine used to get a lot of strange callers looking for other people. I remember coming back from vacation and listening to a week's worth of messages. one was from a guy who had heard I knew of a really effective, environmentally safe insecticide, another from some woman who wanted to put me in a who's who of business people on the west coast, and a third caller who told me I was late showing up to fix his freezer over at union jack's, a strip bar on burnside. I wondered who had had that number before I did. |
