    Or

    I'm really Neil Olshey

    Or

    I'm really a 54 year old Japanese woman

    No kidding, right? I partied with them a ton. Good times. I knew who Swil was back in the day, too... so it's weird to see the name pop up. But yeah, I roadied for Strenuus and was tight knit with the Syx guys too during that time. When Syx/Strenuus did shows together, nights were just a blur. hahaha.

    Wanna hear another blast from the past? One night, IIRC (which is always debatable) We had a Strenuus/Syx/36 Crazyfists show.

    It may have just been Syx/36... but still, wild freaking night.

    Wild man. Well I reunited Swil and we are working on our first real album now. Hoping to have it done by the holidays.
    36Crazyfists are playing the Ash in a couple weeks. I remember when they moved down from AK. And you know I might have been at that show. Anytime 36 came in to town, Syx was a fav to share the stage with them. But yea, a decade plus and my memory fades on some details too. :)

    It was at the Rock and Roll Pizza on Powell. Most random name for one of the best venues. I talked to Brock for a few, too. Good dude. Snow capped romance and Bitterness are albums I still play every now and then. Good discs! And yes, Syx always played with them when 36 came. It was nuts. I think one time Strenuus did get to play with them... but we did so many shows at that venue, I could be wrong.

    So crazy how full circle things can get, randomly!

    I originally was Red Hot & Rolling for a few of these Blazers boards, and up until S2.
    Then, a couple years ago....someone came on and had the same moniker with only a change of one letter or something.

    So, I changed to Harry's Raincoat. Harry Glickman had been unable to secure funding for the Franchise fee in 1970, left the room dejectedly, upon reaching the street, realized that he had left his raincoat behind. Returned to the room, and Sarkowski was on the phone, returning his call. Financing fell into place, with Sarkowski, Weinberg and one other, and the Trail Blazers franchise was born!! All because of a raincoat!!
