Thought I’d never find it. After a couple of cross country moves, throwing things in boxes and not labeling them…I think we’ve got quite a few boxes we haven’t rummaged through since we moved out to New Mexico in 2004. Four years later and many states away, some still lay unopened. I wonder what’s in them? I’ve found clothes I could’ve been wearing and my children could’ve been wearing if I had known the boxes existed. Unassembled lamps that our living space desperately needs. Tools. Kitchen junk drawers haphazardly thrown in a box. And, oh yeah, pictures. Envelope after envelope of family photos. Great photos, too. Photos from 35mm film. Whew, remember when?
We spent an evening looking at all the pictures.
I got a serious dose of nostalgia when I stumbled upon this photo of me with Michael Hutchence of INXS. It was taken by two good samaritans at an invite only studio performance with Philly’s Y100 in 1997. Not a month had passed when we found these pictures in the mail. Thanks to the Franklins for taking the pic and actually sending us two copies. Sad thing is, I am 11 years older than I am in the picture. Sadder still, Mr. Hutchence died two months after the photo was taken.

Great picture. Michael was a one of a kind. There is no replacement for him and never will be with the band. He was the rockgod of that era and still remains so today. No impersonator or winner of a competition reality tv show should be allowed to butcher his songs. Complete embarassment to the old boys in the band.

OMG, I’m so glad you found this picture again! I absolutely loved INXS back in the day, and I still remember when you and Amando showed me this picture sitting on Jewel’s bed.
What a great picture! You were so lucky Haze!
