This was one of the most awesome things that have ever happened to me.
 
Imagine the company I had there?!
 
It was like this: I met Victor Bockris in the Keith Haring entourage during Keith's installation at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts circa 1983 [done with Little Angel]. I knew Keith for about 5-6 years by then.  He studied at one point in Pittsburgh [he’s from Kutztown, PA, where he’s buried] and I met him in after hours drawing class. He also worked as a laborer at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts where he had his very first exhibition. As it were, I was engaged with the PCA for many years since college as a graphic designer for most of their print materials and since I was teaching at Carnegie Mellon University [Andy's alma mater] at the time, I turned Victor on to many of the CMU Warhol connections and scouted locations with him while he took photos and partied! I had a Renault le Car with a sunroof and I have vivid memories of Victor standing up while I drove and screaming out of the roof! I was standing next to the sun in 1983! Imagine: Kwong Chi Tseng, David Wojnarowicz, John Fekner, Keith Haring, LA [Little Angel], and Ann Magnuson all at the same time together-LIVE! -- buying turkey salad sandwiches and smoking NYC weed listening to JUAN’S [Keith’s lover] mixed tapes on a Kenny Scharf original boom box!! I even got blamed for tagging a rich patron's garage after a party because I held the spray cans while THEY danced! At one point during the party, Victor leaned over to me and asked..."are all the good looking women locked in the basement?"!!
 
I found the book at the original Kinokuniya Books in Shinjuku, while living in Tokyo several years later.

So I thought I'd share.  If I have already posted this before, consider it dementia. The Dementia of Icarus!
