SUMMER HOLIDAYS 1997
PUBLIC ENEMA began as a band name for my demo debut album. The album, Beyond the Forest (named after a Bette Davis movie) consisted of 16 tracks of what could possibly be described as industrial pop music, composed on a laptop with demo software and recorded straight to tape.  For more info see the Bandstand (aka www.5ftsonicsanta.com)

ONE COLD MONDAY NIGHT IN FEBRUARY 1998
The idea for a web site came from a drunken spontaneous Polaroid fest. I went to my local pub with Sweet Daddy Jones, took home some more alcohol, and a top photo-shoot developed. Luckily props were at hand. After much vomit, beer-swilling, rubber gloves and laughter, we put captions to the Polaroids and I uttered the immortal words, "I've gotta get these on the Internet..." Sometime after 4:00 am An Evening with Bette Davis was born.

VALENTINE'S DAY, FEBRUARY 14TH 1998
I was due to appear in a queer Blind Date Competition at a gay club in Manchester, England. Accompanied by Johnny Super-Fly Martinez for moral support and photography, it was on that night where the sequel A Blind Date with Bette Davis was shot.

24TH FEBRUARY 1998
