I can recall singing "Don't make me wait" in the hallways in High School, there was a crew of us that would pile into my van & roll into Manhattan from Queens. Garage was natural - come as you are & feel what you feel (Can you feel it...Life is something special). I loved the change in music around 5 - 6 am, when Larry would clear out the wannabes & start it right back up. Man I miss it but the place will forever hold in the hearts & minds of all it's followers. Love to all - see you up on the deck later, someone bring the juice! - Mike Alexander
