my plans
here's my plans. I am goingt to spend one more night here in oxford. Jim and Amy have been great to put us all up, but word is they've got EVEN MORE refugees on the way to stay with them. So I'm gonna go to my perents house in Indiana.

Mike Hurtt is going to ride with me and then get a bus to detroit, where he will be for a while, I guess. I am going to stay a few days in indiana and then back to philadelphia. I want to spend a day with some friends in Memphis that I haven't really gotten to talk to, esp. Dan and PEggy, and Pasta and Lynn...

and KRISTEN...I heard you are headed to memphis. when will you get there?!?! I am either going to go up there today (probabaly) AND tomarrow (unless I see everyone I need to see today.) if dan and peggy need a ride to Detroit, I can give you one. Kristen, if you need a ride call me. but it sounds like maybe you have one already?!?

would like to see andy, bateman, martel, lilly, alison, Loiuie, jason and blythe, the buttons guys, any members of....etc...

ALL OF MY FRIENDS WHO ARE NOW HOMELESS. the sad thing is many I maybe won't see again for many many months or even years. this whole this is like world war III or something.

when can they go back home? are our possessions still there? is there a home to go back to? in some cases, no. is some cases maybe. no one seems to know what's going on.

surely someday they will rebuild new orleans. and many of my friends will move back and have a normal life again. when? no one knows. many of my friends can't afford to wait that long, and are just going to have to move to some other city and get a job and start a new life. New Orleans will definatly not be the same.

on top of this there are friends of mine that are still in the war zone. and even some that are just unheard from. where are they? I wish I owned a helicopter.

anybody know about art, brian, alex C. , rich siegle, or LEFTY ?!?!?

has anyone heard if fats domino or antionette K-doe, or eddie bo, made it out?

it's good he's o.k. but he needs to get the FUCKOUDDATHERE. it sounds like a war zone. glad you're safe. maybe this is a sign that you moving was not such a bad idea....

Just heard from a friend of Arts from college and he called yesterday and was headed with brian and his family to a shelter. Don't know if they actually made it out. SOunds like everyone is having problems getting out.

Is there anything I can REALLY do for you Matty? Are you getting everything you need? Do you know of anyone who needs something they can't get? I'd be happy to do anything I can <3

you are the greatest. really, right now I am in not so bad a situation. I'm at my sister's and am heading to philly, where at least my wife has a job and an apartment. I"ve lost most of my records---maybe---fingers crossed---but i'll just have to start again. i've got enough to dj with a few times before people start realizing I"m playing the same 20 records over and over! oh well. I don't have to tell you of all people that times can get tough, and when they do, possessions, no matter who important are not as important as your friends, family and loved ones.

Well I've got lots of doubles and I know of other folks who do as well... when you have time if you'll list the albums you have left or ones you'd really like to have please post it. I know lots of record collectors and have some DJ perks at our local record store. We'll see what we can do about getting your collection put back together.

you are the greatest dolly. I hold on to those exxtra copies of lp's ya got...I may be needen' 'em! but, it's not for sure...I can see the building where my possessions are from a satelitte photo...the roof is intact, no signs of looting...the streets are flooded but it doesn't look tooooo deep ( I mean cars are not covered...) and my stuff is on the 2nd floor. so maybe!!!!! my stuff is o.k. and I could possible get it before xmas?!?! oh! what an xmas present that would be! keep those lp's in the wings though..I have a hard feeling that pasta, who I do (or rather, did) my country dj night with, might have literally lost everything....so he may desperatly need some nashville hotwax.....

I know you're heading to LBurg, but if you or Mike (en route to Detroit Rock City) need a place in Chicago to hang or crash, give us a buzz - esinclai@pobox.com.
