This picture was taken at the infamous Hodge Lodge, located in Dallas Texas.. formally known as Bachlor Hell,that was before the girls moved in...URS Truly and Valerie Bowles& soon to follow Suzi Mustang(Cringe),well from that point on everything was different ,the house was cleaned on a regular basis due to too many speed freaks living there,I guess the guys jacked off and the girls cleaned house..HA HA.The Lodge was owned by Jerry Hodge his grandmother left it to him so he let a bunch of punks move in rent free until he sold it,God I would get woken up early in the morn ,hearing Flippers"Sex Bomb" playin full blast on the PA system Jerry called a stereo and who do you think was on the controls BOBBY SOXX!!! I would go screaming at him turn that shit down ,he would laugh at me.Then me and Valerie would mix up a pitcher of Martini's and get looped out of our minds,Val locked me out of her room so I went bangin on the window..I never got her up to let me in!We had a blast!The tenants were if I can remember everybodys names,Pete(The Artist),Bobby Soxx(Stickmen With Rayguns),Suzi Mustang(Cringe),Don(Vals Artist),Me (Erin) & Valerie Bowles,Jerry hodge stayed in the Garage that he transformed into his Hippie Pad.God we had some of the best parties there ,after the shows people would come and go through out the night.Well Jerry finally sold the place to a developer and it was scheduled for demolition,but we started the demolition before the city ever got there.All the guys in drunken stoopers took 10lb sledge hammers to the inside of the house,I couldn't get down the stairs from my room.Bobby and I were there until the last.The electric was shut off so Bobby ran an extension cord to the condo next door and just like that we had juice,there was some guy over there and Bobby would walk around rantin "WiERDY Don't Hurt Me".I remember packin up my old blue 68 cadillac sedan,and headin on down the road. The Hodge Lodge what a great place!!!
