/ combo with a Falcon Punch!

To get back to the focus of this thread, there's probably only a handful of pictures of me that exist between 1995 and 2007. All pre-'95 pictures are somewhere in my parents' house locked away never to see the light of day.
The only one i can remember is when my dad dressed me and my little brother in lederhosens that my dad brought back from germany.
I also look exactly like my dad. Like, almost a mirror image of him at every age of my life.

That means you missed the 80s which was, quite possibly, at that time, the most important decade since the 70's.

True story: Holywood, CA. 1987?/8. I'm at a Mission/Balaam and the Angel gig. I see this girl standing in the back. Unlike everyone else in the place she is head-to-toe in white. She's carrying a white parasol. Full Victorian getup. Striking, you know? Balaam is playing and they were a terrible Cult imitation. So I get talking to this girl and one thing leads to another. Spent the whole of the show making out with her in the bar. Night ends, lights are up and the place is nearly cleared out. Tap on my shoulder and I unattach from the girl. Turn around and Wayne Hussey's standing there. Leans in past me and says, "You comin' with or not, luv?" Off she went.

I saw Balaam at Marquee in London. Ian Ashbury from Cult jumped in and sang few songs.
It was the era....

These are as about as back in the day as I have access to:

This is my band in highschool after a gig we played as part of a Red Cross benefit, I'm on the right. I got shot in the hand with a BB gun right before this and we had to cut the BB out of my finger with a pocket knife. I'm smiling because they gave me a bunch of loritab so I could play through the pain... it worked.

Here's two of our promo pic's we took for flyers and whatnot.

They caught me.

This is the last show Mr. Grinch and the Toilet Dux ever played, because as soon as the show was over, I threw my guitar in the back of my car and moved to Lafayette.

This is my mullet that I stole from some guy in the eighties who looked at me funny.

I just scanned these all in...

Tom on his first day of Pre-K. Age 4 or 5.

Tom at his 1st grade science fair, in which he won second place. Age 6.

Tom's First Communion photo. Age 7 or 8.

Tom outside a gift shop in Berlin, Germany. Age 16.

Tom with his mom and brothers after his high school graduation. Age 17.

And these three photos were all taken in the same week...at age 19, I believe.

Tom before his drummer's sister's prom, at which he was Prom King.

Tom with his brothers and then-girlfriend at his aunt's wedding.

Tom with his brother, before his brother's prom.
