Two out of three ain't bad, we had Brian Richie & John Sparrow from the Violent Femmes in the shop before their big show at the Fillmore with Echo & the Bunnymen, No Gordon, he had something else going on..  But, these guys were Super Rad!!, we got Dr. Martens to set them up with Classic Doc's and they set us up at the show - i know.. same old story, but when you get to hang out with your heroes, it's always a good story!
this was cool, Brian Richie brought this Rad little Polaroid camera and was taking photos around the shop, he left us with this one - Thanks!
as i was saying one an earlier post, a customer brought this pair of rare Harlequin Dr. Martens boot back to us that he purchased in the early 90's - he asked us to add them to our Rock Star boot collection and to do something special with them..well.. the Violent Femmes on the right foot, the Cure on the left.  What a pair!!
Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie and original drummer Victor DeLorenzo stopped in before their show at the Ogden theatre.  this was kind of a strange visit, they came in separately, Brian & Victor, then later Gordon.  After speaking with Gordon, he said at the time they were not getting along at all - they traveled to the show separately - stayed in separate hotels, yet on stage that night it looked and felt like nothing was ever wrong.. crazy.
Add it UP! Gordon Gano &Â Victor De Lorenzo on the wall! Â
I hope his new doc's didn't give him a "blister" in the sun  wa`wa`wa... ;)
"con amore" ( with tenderness) - the Big Bad Bass Player ... Brian Ritchie, pretty rad!
