Comment on Troy Dalton by Derek Deluco

Deeply saddened does not begin to express how I feel after finding out that Troy is gone. I had not been in contact for a great deal of time, but always think about him, his work and the great and inspiring times I had with him. From before he moved into his Yolo studio, to helping him move in, and spending as much time there as possible. Modeling my hand or foot, great conversation, or shooting back and forth ideas for the building. since moving to New York in 1996, I have not been able to keep in contact as I wished. Troy was an inspiration, and I truly wish I would have been able to see him again. he was always best in person. Aven, I hope you have the Bug. I always though it suited you more than Troy.

I loved that Redd Foxx album as a kid! It was at my public library where I grew up. That’s the one where he closes with something along the lines of, “If anyone here has been offended by anything I’ve said this evening or anything I did, I want to let you know right now, deep down from the bottom of my heart, that I don’t give a shit.”

Might have a sale there, fellas.

I’m am in love with these guys and their shop already. Nich is a long time friend and I’m excited at what they have to offer. Stockton has brought alot of good things to Sacramento (Golden Bear, LEGENDmag, etc) and now Phono Select. Lets give it up for the 209 but also be very happy there’s more for the 916 to enjoy.

Comment on Keeping Midtown Janky by Melanie

Thanks William. For those of you who didn’t know it, William is the one who actually coined the phrase a few years back. I was just the one with a few extra bucks to make the stickers.

Robert, if you were to re-read the interview you would see that we did not intend janky to mean “skanky” or “junky.” I’m quite sure we have very similar intentions on how to keep midtown the place that we have all grown to love.

He was such a character. I can’t imagine Midtown being midtown without him. Great piece.

I know why you left out The Tower Cafe–because the food sucks! I would have put Paragary’s in the list before Tower…
