Gory details? Are you sure?  Naw, I didn't suck his cock....although I really wanted to ask him! LOL! My family were standing there waiting for me to leave with them! He did say he liked my shirt (of course!) and took the piss out of my accent....then he asked me when I was coming back to LA and that I should go see him on Venice beach.....definately gonna take him up on that! LOL! Funny thing about that Morrison Hotel thing...I took the picture and this big security guy came up to me and said if I did that again, he would "eject me from the store"!! I had to stand there for a few seconds replaying what he said in my head, because I could have sworn he said something about being erect.... LOL! Well, I don't think EVERYONE'S a Doors fan, but a lot of people come up and talk to you when you have a t-shirt on. Plus almost every store has Doors stuff...you wait until you see my Doors "Whiskey-a-go-go" poster! It's so cool! |

Who did that Jim mural and when was it done? It looks a bit bleached compared to other pictures I have seen, is it ever restored? It's called 'Morning Shot' and was painted in 1991 by Rip Cronk a well known LA artist on the back of a hair and nail salon in Muscle Beach at 1811 Ocean Front Walk...... check this thread on the mural out newdoorstalk.proboards43.com/index.cgi?board=grave&action=display&thread=1104519414 |

That's the building where jim slept on the roof right? Not sure on that one mate.....I have read that it is and also that it isn't.......Dennis Jacobs was looking after a building as part of a job after UCLA and allowed Jim to crash on the roof....there is a picture of the view from that roof on page 12 of my 21st century Doors article on the new Scorpywag and its hard to say whether its the same building. Its in the same area but is it the same roof Jim slept on?  |

You want MORE pics?! Ok, I'll get some downloaded on here for you! Didn't manage to get time to go to the whiskey, unfortunately  I'm just going to have to get back there!! Thanks for the info on the murial, Alex! I had no idea where it was, but when I saw a load of other ones around, I knew I was close. I was just about to ask a cop when I saw Jim out the corner of my eye ;D Peace Frog played for just over an hour and a half. They played all the popular ones, plus things like horse latitudes. There was one point where he recited some of jim's poetry during one of the songs, which I thought was really cool.  He also did unexpected things, like walk through the audience, chatting to people while the band were playing long solos......and playing a kind of volleyball with the audience with an inflatable beach ball! ;D Seeing them perform live will probably be the closest thing to seeing the real Doors.....they were all brilliant! Ok, going to download some more pics  |

Here are more pictures, as promised!! Firstly, a Bon Jovi moment! It's the gold suits they wore in their recent photo shoot for the box set! I was SO excited! Oh, and David's shoes were HUGE!   Where it all began...Venice beach!  I found this Jim in the Hard Rock Hotel, opposite a lift which had the quote "Is verybody in? The ceremony is about to begin!" inside it!  This HUGE Jim was on the wall of a diner inside the Hard Rock Hotel! I got a few strange looks after taking this picture...  |

Oh, you'd love it!! You certainly have to give it a go.
Just remembered....we went to the Harley Davidson Cafe in Las Vegas and outside, there were all these bikers. My family were in the shop, so I went outside and admired a few bikes! One of the guys even let me sit on one....they were SO cool. I am getting me a bike license and a softail Harley one day!!!! ;D
