I've seen you guys all around san francisco in the early 90s.

welcome to sg man, and thanks for all the good times in the past.

one journal entry is good, welcome

Yep, like what everyone else said, even if we already read your blog, a little tiny bit of a journal here just gives people a chance to say hello and things. Which I guess you could construe as good or bad, depending on how much you want to put up with everyone.

So all that said: hi! Your articles this past week have been wonderful, and on a similar note I'm quite looking forward to King Dork. In general, thanks for bein' here.

hey frank, welcome to the site!!

"sort of a writer and a kind of musician"??

that, my friend, is an understatement to say the least!!

Frank, you're so damn modest. When are you going to be in Portland again? I need to buy you another beer.

i'm enjoying everything i've read so far, man. welcome to the fold.

Thanks, folks.

Michael, I'm planning on doing some shows as soon as I get all this "literary" stuff sorted. There's going to be a best of comp. at the beginning of the year and, I hope, a studio album shortly thereafter. So we'll definitely be doing some touring for that, and I'll definitely take you up on that beer offer.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks for all the great music you and the band have put out over the years.

ah senor frank! what's up? how you doing? i interviewed you twice for my old 'zine MULCH from miami. do you remember our prozac conversation at cheers?

Alukh, some people are easily amazed. ;-) Thanks for popping in.

Throatneedle:

"do you remember our prozac conversation at cheers?"

would make a great title for something or other.

(I don't, as it happens...)

I had this feeling it was you when I saw an article posted by you a few days back but didn't think much of it till I decided to pry further. Not to sound like a gushing fanboy, but I love your band. One of my absolute favorites. Last time I saw you guys was when you played the Fireside Bowl in chicago a a year ago (MTX).
Wow I just don't know what else to say other then I can't wait till your book comes out. Much luck to you in the future my good man, and thanks for making some of the best music I've ever heard.

my experience in life has me skeptical that it's really dr. frank. in any case, mtx rules. that we can all agree on.

Heh. Now the masses can flood your journal with enthusiastic comments. Here's mine - you probably don't remember me, but we met when you played a show in Portland, Oregon, about a year ago. It was at the Meow-Meow, and the club had just moved, so nobody could find the show. My boyfriend (somelameo) and I stood around helplessly at the old address and luckily a random passerby knew the new address. We ambled over and found... you! We chatted, you shared some fine (i believe it was) scotch from your flask, and then entrusted us with taping a sign up at the old location so that people could find the show. and you guys played a kickass set, albeit to a rather small crowd, and a good time was had all around.
Incidentally, I also should thank you for all the great links in your blog - Veiled Conceit, for one, is now a steadfast bookmark.
Anyway, welcome to sg, and thanks for making the music news worth reading.
And if you ever come to Chicago, the scotch is on me this time.
