Last Sunday, there was a reunion of Girls on Fire and Walls of Genius. It had been a little over 30 years since Little Fyodor along with Evan Cantor showed up on my doorstep in San Francisco’s Mission district. This time Little Fyodor and I re-united at the Mission Chinese Food Restaurant on NYC’s Lower East Side. The years evaporated away as we enjoyed the General Tso whiskey sours, the Drunken Fish and other culinary delights along with the delightful company of Little Fyodor’s better half, Babushka, friends JD and Amanda as well as my bff, Laura. To commemorate this joyous occasion, Laura pulled out the handy Captain Beefheart Trout Mask Replica iPhone and snapped a couple of pics. A good time was had by all!

This is wonderful! Things like these are what make me think positively always, even if I had a Joday or Jobday or Jodeday ... damn, I do not remember! Ahhh, Leslie, thank you very much for your lovely postcard and your words.

Leslie Singer

After high school and a year in the DC noise band, Psychodrama, I moved to SF in 1982.
From 1983 to 1985, I released five cassette albums under such monikers as Girls on Fire and Sadistic Gossip.

From 1985 to 2003 my film and video works were exhibited in museums, galleries and festivals throughout
Europe and the U.S.

In 2010, a CD compilation of my ‘80’s cassette albums was released as
“Girls Who Grew Up to Be Arts Administrators”.
