Here's this info.  This is when I started performing and also when I found
ISCA, so there are some descriptions of pieces without titles or authors,
that are basically quoted from ISCA notes.  This gets very confusing,
since the piece referred to as, say, "Tim's piece" by one isca user, may
also be the piece about the "father and daughter" as referred to by
another isca user.  And several of the ISCA folks were killer quoters, so
they'll just post 6 different quotes from the night.  I have no idea
whether they're from the same piece, different pieces, etc.  But I've
included as many pieces as possible, hoping that some other people's
memories may be jogged by what they read. 

I always wonder whether Tasha Robinson (Whitewolf on ISCA) might have
similar logs.  She also made cassette tapes of some shows.  I don't know
if they still exist.  Once you have a lot of archive material in place, it
might be worth asking her to look things over and see if she can identify
anthing or provide more info.

The formatting isn't coming through, so I hope all this makes some sense.

Hi Jeff--

My uncle died last week so I've been away, but now I'm back, and will send
more stuff soon.  I'll add, though, that the Friday July 19, 1991 show was
definitely outside.
