FLIPPER

One of my coworkers lived with Klaus Flouride and some of the FLIPPER folks in the 1980s (maybe not at the same time but also maybe at the same time). Think about what it does to your brain when a random guy you work with just casually mentions that his roommates were people from bands that you felt were untouchable when you were a teenager...and then just shrugs it off because they were just his roommates, you know? He doesn't really care to talk about punk shit, just kinda blows it off if I ask, but he interviewed FLIPPER when they reformed in 1990 and it's a casual (and casually interesting) chat.

Dope. i remember hearing years ago that the purple house in oakland used to be the flipper house but i never really looked into it, it just seemed to sort of make sense. if you've ever partied there, and i'm sure you have, then you know what i mean. what i'm wondering tho is if that was where your coworker lived?

Nope - not the same spot.
