Were you one of those guys?

I moved out of L.A. in '79, but I went to highschool with the original Flipside crew prior to that, and occasional took pictures for the magazine. A few years ago, I was surprised to run across a bunch of photos, at Michele Flipside's old website, of X-8, Al, and Pooch at the Ti. When I asked X-8 about it, he told me they frequently hung out there with bands. Also, I ran into Boyd Rice at Tiki Boyd's in Denver, shortly before he pulled the plug on them, and we had a long discussion about how he kickstarted the Exotica revival at NON shows.
