"My family is from Fresno..."

Hey Martin, it takes a brave man to admit such. I'll chime in and admit that my family is from Madera--the gateway to Fresno--and I went to school in Fresno for 11 years and lived there on my own for about 4 years. Is the Luau still there?

That brings up an anecdote: in Fresno, back in my mod days in the early '80s, I had a good friend named Martin. We used to hang out at this divey club in Clovis that had tiki bar pretensions but was mostly used by rockers and new wavers. Martin moved to SF in '84 and invited me to come room with him until I could find my own place, which I did, in '85. He was an amateur DJ, and used to spin some pretty strange stuff for those times at mod clubs--Mancini, EW&F, whatever struck his fancy. I hear he's doing pretty well now. He calls himself "Doc Martin"."Fresno: One of the Finest Cities to Move Away From."
