The Mooka

This photo, taken at the Warwick Mall in 1996, graced the cover of total godhead.

It was very difficult working with the monkeys.  They just wouldn’t sit still.

Enjoy this clip from the “Cuckoo for Jesus Show,” a piece of Rhode Island Public Access Goodness.

I’m shooting super-8 film of Neutral Nation for the upcoming documentary, IT’S A BASH.

We had a great meeting the other night at the Midway studio.  With ON THE LAKE nearly in the rear view, we can concentrate on finishing this production, and getting the footage over to Kevin & Mark for post.

Maybe a spring release?

January 10, 1996:  Drummer John begins moving his shit into The Mooka.  
January 11, 1996:  Went to the Union and worked on Godhead there for awhile, then took it home to finish it up.  Liam and Mark helped out by drawing retarded comic strips.  Liam actually didn’t do very much because he had a creative “block.”  We also rented a couple bad movies.  One was a Uma Thurman/Richard Gere/Kim Basinger drama piece of crap called “Final Analysis.”  The other was a porn about a peeping Tom who watches people screw.  

January 12, 1996:  We ran out of natural gas and had to wait for several very cold hours for the Gas Company to come and light the pilot and put our heat back on.  This was a common occurrence at the Mooka.

January 13, 1996:  We rented two more movies at Major Video.  They were “In the Army Now” with Lori Petty.  I find her attractive for some reason.  We also rented “Fraternity Vacation,”  which is one of Tim Robbin’s first flicks.  

January 14, 1996:  By this time, I was working at the Narragansett Theater, a twin screen cinema in the Pier.  On January 14th, I worked all day and night, and told a woman, who had brought her 5-year-old son to his first movie, that what she did was wrong.  The kid’s first movie was “Dunston Checks In,” a forgettable piece of crap starring a monkey and Jason Alexander.
