Here is a message I got recently, YEESH!! Subject: URGENT/SY GEAR STOLEN!From: krakkak@aol.com (Krak kak) Date: Sun, 04 July 1999 03:46 PM EDT Message-id: <19990704154604.05646.00005787@ng-fh1.aol.com>URGENT/SY GEAR STOLEN! july 4 1999LA/Orange County Hello all, this is Lee from Sonic Youth here, we have had a fucked upsituation come down on us over this last night--a brand new Ryder truck parked at a Ramada Inn in Orange County with ALL OF OUR GEAR IN IT was STOLEN! All ofour guitars, tools, amplifiers, drums, synth -- EVERYTHING. We are fucked, both for the show tonight at the "This Ain't No Picnic" here in Orange Co., andfor shows upcoming this week in Austin and Santa Fe. Our guitars are all mostly older and either very modified and/or fucked up/beat up. They areunmistakably ours, as are some of the amps, including my own 60s Fender Concert with the red/blue/yellow "Jasper Johns-style" target on it. We are asking ANYONE with ANY INFORMATION about this to get in touch with usas soon as possible by calling our man Aaron Blitzstein in New York City at 212.343.2314, or via email to "Mascaras66@aol.com". Call collect if youwant to. Please no pranks, all, this is really serious--all the gear we've usedto write our last few LPs worth of stuff, instruments used for songs old andnew which if truly lost will mean those songs will be lost forever. Help us out if you can, there will be a reward for any info, I'm sure. Allour road cases, etc, are fully marked up with our name on them, the gtrs are so unusual that they won't really be too hard to mistake. ANY info at all willbe appreciated. If the thieves themselves read this, I'm sure we'd rather buy the stuff back from you than lose it forever (you fukkerz).here are some descriptions of gear:\ drums: green satin flame 60s Gretch kit (w "paisley" glow in dark kik head Fender ToneMaster head and 4x12 cabinet Fender blackface Concert (4x10) w "Target design" spraypainted on front PeeVey RoadMaster HeadMarshal 4x12 cab Mesa Boogie 400+ bass head/4x10 cab/18" cab Fender Bassman head (two!)/ 2x12 fender cabFender presicion Bass Gibson Les Paul Jr w snoopy sticker Fender Jazzmasters and Jaguars--lots of 'em, mostly modified to hell (orig electronix pulled, diff p/u's etc) and usually way beat up.
