I posted the 1983 booking calendars on the FB group “Austin Punk Scene” if you’re interested. Last show was December 17 with Standing Waves, but I let Joseph Gonzales or Tim Kerr (sorry, memory gets fuzzy) book some hardcore thing on New Years Eve. BYOB as we’d already surrendered our liquor license. After management was fired (including Brad), John Bird hired the woman manager of Studio 29 to run the club. After financial irregularities, he fired her and told me I was the new manager. I protested, saying I just wanted to be the lighting designer, but he said if I didn’t take the job he’d close the club and then I wouldn’t even have the lighting job. First thing I demanded was the return of Brad First, and John agreed. Brad booked for awhile but then became busy with First Productions (financially backed by John) so I hired Jody Denberg to book the club.

Thanks, Sam! That's what I was looking for. I've worked it into the Club Foot history.
You’re welcome to ask anything. Hopefully I’ll remember. I have earlier booking calendars but they’re in storage, unfortunately.
