Hey Otto,

You got it, man! I'll compile all of them front and center for the slideshow presentation!

And as far as the stained-glass window of the Cafe Frankenstein, I DO have a few more shots of it. One of the pictures of the stained-glass is in colour. It has a nude woman posing with a cup of espresso in front of it. The owners, the model and photographer were all taken to jail over that photo shoot.

Here's a little encyclopedia entry on the Cafe Frankenstein that I wrote for Wikipedia:

I've interviewed four of the five owners. Two of the four have since passed away. It was an incredible place. I could do a whole article on that place for Barracuda magazine or something, but I don't know the people who run that mag. Unfortunately, I'll probably only be able to run a picture or two of it in my next book, "The Beat Generation in Los Angeles." Just so much ground to cover in that book too.
