Great Jones Street: A chapter in Indy Film History

One quick story – 

Kevin was at his normal seat at the end of the bar… 

He and Eagle Penell ( just finished Last Night at the Alamo and Kevin who had just finished Atomic Cafe) were drinking hard.  

At some point – late in the night…  Eagle and Kevin decide to fight… they would go outside and fight… We all went outside – they pretty much did not know how to fight… or how to start to fight… nobody was really mad – they just wanted to fight… It was all and all pretty pathetic but Kevin punched Eagle and they wrestled  around on the sidewalk then we all went inside and continued to drink until dusk…. 

Next day… Eagle had to go to the hospital and had 2 broken ribs… Kevin came home with me to find his pant leg was crusted with blood.  He had an impressive stab wound on his shin from a ballpoint pen.   Next night – back on the stools at Great Jones 

Jacki Ochs, Margaret Crimmins and I were big fans of Great Jones…… Phil and Doris especially. 

(Paula dated her husband there, Kevin Rafferty. He was on the softball team)
