I didn't intend for this section to become an anthropological study, but it kind of happened.  I decided early on that I would keep the record of our collective experience.  To that end I kept every article, advert, mention and review.  If the article was in a newspaper, I kept the whole paper.  Likewise for other publications.  I kept 8x10s, posters, lyrics, books and records of account, set lists.  All to the tune of 5 large cartons.  The art and graphics you see within are what I've been able to mine in the time allotted.  I believe there's value in presenting this material.  It chronicles a band that bootstrapped itself (with the help of a dedicated manager) into a major label deal and achieved some success without sucking up to anyone or "selling out."
