jon_chaissonOkay, so last night I'd decided to add a tertiary (as in "there to fill some of the space") to a scene in Chapter 2 of LLB, and decided to name him Brian Getchell, after the Boston artist with the same last name (Scott Getchell--great artist for the Phoenix, but sadly his personal website is down).
Which made me think of when I used to live there during my college days and after--basically the whole of the 90s. Specifically of the comic strip newspaper that was out at the time that sold for fifty cents and was on sale pretty much everywhere. Thing is, I can't for the life of me remember what it was called (Boston Weekly Comics or something like that, but I could be mistaken). Does anyone remember what it was called, and if so, does one know if there is any mention online of said weekly?
And while we're at it, if anyone can come up with music, local or not, that they remember most fondly from that timeframe would be cool. It's partly research for the on-and-off-again Radio Radio project. Song titles, remembrances, whatnot, the floor's open. :)
If not, no big...just reliving old memories here. :p
