Yes, and I don't even have copies!

Pete Laughner and his wife, Charlotte Pressler, were friends of mine 
beginning in 1971. They had moved from Cleveland to Akron, and were renting 
a place near Akron U. about a block away from me. Pete and I were writing 
for the same local music rags at the time, and we were both nuts about the 
Velvets.

I hadn't seen him for several months before the Piccadilly shows, but he 
called me up and said "I've booked this NY band called Television for two 
nights at the Piccadilly--you've gotta come! They're the best band since 
the Velvets!"

He was right, too.
