In 1971 I walked into the middle of a Herowhine bust in the hallway of a
Delancey St tenement I lived at. A month later, after seeing a different
judge every week ... after leaving too early for breakfast, a gruelling
ride on a prison bus to 100 Centre st. holding (The Tombs) and being fed
a cheeze sammich with something like mayonnaise on it for lunch before
my ride back to Riker's too late for dinner, for a month , a one of the
FOUR DIFFERENT JUDGES I saw in that time period finally figured out the
cops were never going to show for arraignment and cut me loose with a
bus token. My place to live was gone., My job I had been coming home
from... gone. My GF didn't know where the fuck I had gone and it was a
good thing I still had the release papers.

What I'm saying here is "I'm empathic", but shit happens. We'll see how
it goes from here.

Keep us informed.
