Reply #5: Oh yeah, I love them [View All]

I saw them a bunch of times in the '80s too. Greg Sage moved to Arizona. I don't know if he's still playing. But the Wipers were a great, totally underrated NW band. I'm glad they got some publicity in "Hype!" and were on the soundtrack, but I don't think they get nearly enough credit.

Hell, yeah, I'd love to see those posters you designed. I'm sure you know of Art Chantry - he was a friend of ours. We used to go down to his old studio on Western in Seattle and he'd let us use his darkroom, and also go through his myriad stacks of paper and files. He moved to St. Louis a few years ago with his girlfriend when she got a better job. He was pissed at Seattle, and really mad when the Kingdome was imploded. That just sort of topped it all off for him.

I do know that Burroughs/Van Sant EP you're talking about. I think my husband had it - it's probably somewhere down in the basement. I don't know when I'll have the heart to go through all of those records of his. I might turn it into a museum. Thanks for thinking of me! :D
