FLYERAMA, PT. 3: HERE & THERE

...and here we have miscellaneous old flyers tossed together back in the day.  Self-explanatory...

FLYERAMA, PT. 2: THE PEACOCK ROOM

After Bodhisaatva's closing, the Peacock Room became the primary clubhouse for the Delusionaires' more informal, laissez-faire shows, albeit in a slightly less debauched environment (for one thing, we had to actually leave after they closed for the night).  We instantly felt at home there, and for good reason: a couple years earlier, that very location was the video store I'd worked at, in which our first few months of practices were held.  I'm happy to report the building has done considerably better as a bar than as a video store, and the Peacock is one of the few classic Dels locations to still exist in its original form.  Booking became a little trickier there after Pat Greene left; during his tenure, there was at least one occasion where we learned of the gig that very morning in the paper.  Effortless!

FLYERAMA, PT. 1: BODHISATTVA!

Gradually attempting to gather the artifacts of the Dels' love affair with Kinkos over the years, an undertaking severely complicated by my amazing disorganization, laziness, and history of failing hard drives.  First up's a batch from the beloved Bodhisattva Social Club, our first and favoritist home-ahead-of-home, where many of our highest and lowest moments were to occur.  Hell, I met my wife there at a Dels show, thanks to Nadeem, who had invited her in the course of a Yahoo Groups discussion while she was in town on business.  We played there on their official opening night (our second show; we didn't even have a real name yet) as well as on their very last night (though nobody would know this until the next day, when chains mysteriously greeted the staff as they arrived for work).  I'll get into specific Bodhisattva stories in due time; for now, here's some of the slop we used to try to sucker people into seein' us there...
