1994 started rather slow.

1993: stars, allisons, brief-reactive psychosis
january...Austin, TX...still waiting tables at Stars Inn Cafe...living with roomates at 4016 Vineland...riding my bike...with steve...going out to see live music...to Sarah's...Sarah's friend Amy(sp?) was back from Prague...she had a house not far from Vineland...Red River maybe, but north of Airport. I remember being there...walking over ther and being there the night I couldn't sleep and was locked out of the house. Sarah always said Aimee(sp?) had the best bathroom reading material...I never under stood the need for bathroom reading...she did have some wierd interesting stuff in there...magazines from prague with pictures of parties whare everyone is punked out in Leather and Body piercings...lesbian porn...I was facinated by and slightly afraid of Aimee(sp?). Her nickname was Amazon...She was pretty tall...pretty big...maybe over six feet tall...very outspoken...very funny...At my yard sale in the fall she bought the sofa I was selling for $50...later she moved to NYC never to be heard from again.
