Rich Moore remembers.....

Now a short story of the Pussy Cat Club...........

I do not remember the date.....much of that time is a "bit fuzzy"...know what
I mean? Any way, the Children are to be the support act for "Fleetwood
Mac", so of course I do my thing and get the gear all ready for the show,
when this guy named Mick comes up to me, says he plays with the headliner
band and wants to go for a ride in my hearse...."ok," says I. We mount up
and go cruising about S.A. in my hearse, drinking some horrible red wine and toking and joking and just generally screwing off. If I remember correctly,
we got back to the Pussy Cat late, and they were a bit pissed at us, 'cause
they had to hold the show.........Mick was a nice guy.

There was a club built on the old Hemis-fair '68 site, in the AT&T Pavilion
in the spring of '69....I did the actual building work, stage, lite show
room, etc., for the rich kid who had the money to put the club together....we
had worked together at Hemis-fair '68....he worked in the "Youth Pavilion" on the fair-site, where Phil Krumm did the light show for the live performance of "Starry Starry Night", by Don McLean. "Alienated Times and Travelers" was the name that was settled on, which was the downfall of the club, because AT&T got pissed, since they thought that we were infringing on their name, as the club was referred to as "AT&T".....imagine that....lol.

It was a beautiful club....there were no corners in the building, everything
had that '60's rounded thing going on....we had neon art pieces in the entry
hall and inside the club, I put together a 'color organ' that automatically
changed the colors projected onto the white framing around the stage as the
pitch of the music changed, and we had the "Cloud Room", which was the lite show room...we had built 4'x4' frames and covered them with a transluscent
screen surface that could be projected on, or lit from the back with rear
projection....the frames were suspended from the ceiling to create a
planetarium effect.....it was pretty cool. I don't remember the name of the
art professor who had a large part in the 'cloud room', although I do
remember that Phil Krumm...electrtonic music composer and performer, inventor of light show machines, and now book store owner....constructed a light show machine for the space.....trippy.

The Children, of course, opened the club for me......and therein lies another
tale.....LMFAO.
