    This didn’t happen either. It was intended to be a benefit for the Committee Opposed to Militarism and the Draft. Simon and I tried to rent out hall which was in a bowling alley in Oceanside, California, not far from the I-5 on the east side. After making the preliminary arrangements, we met with the owner who let us know that he would have armed guards with dogs there. We hadn’t even mentioned punk rock, let alone COMD (Oceanside abuts Camp Pendelton). We just got the impression that this was normal procedure, and if this was normal we’d probably get something special. So, we didn’t have the show there. Or anywhere else. Simon made the flier. The Blood Lake was his band, and as everybody in a band knows, if you make the flier first, everything else will fall into place.
