RIP Buddy
I meant to post this last night, but I went to bed early.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Butch. You will be missed by many.

I remember seeing Mr. Butch when he was the King of Kenmore Square, back when there was a Kenmore Square. Or at least, back when there was something left of it - the Rat was gone, but Deli Haus was still there, Fuel was still there, the Iron Lung was around the corner, and down the street, An Tua Nua was still Ri-Ra. He used to wander back and forth up Comm. Ave., or hang in front of the Store-24 on the corner across from - what the fuck is that place, Bertucci's? Pizzeria Uno? - and just sort of be weird and silly back when I was walking to Axis and Karma when I worked there.

After the death of the Haus, I saw him more in Allston, in front of that Store-24, most often hanging out with that crazy Asian guy that doesn't really talk to people very often - the one dressed in all black leather with spikes and shit that sort of mumbles like the kid with no tongue from the People Under The Stairs and rumor has it that if you are mean to him he'll kick your ass - and they'd just kick it and be drunk.

He was always really, really nice, and occasionally prophetic. He will be missed.

There is a memorial service on Monday - I can't seem to find the info currently. I'll post it if people are interested.

If you want to learn more about him, he's got a MySpace page, a wikipedia page, and tons of stuff on YouTube.

i'm tanked but i'll take the time to type this anyway. when i moved to allston and my dad was gettin gthe last of the stuff out of themoving truck he was out there with some homeless guy sand he said "don't worry, she' s in god's hands now"

if i die and go to allston i'll be pissed but, i still remember him as the one "character" i could stand, and actually liked, someone wh oalwway s met me with a smile and never asked for anything.

also, the "black leather and spikes" i suspect is kwan [sp ?} and i only know beacuse my ex was a punk and so because they boht had studded vests on he thought they had some connnection....my old roommate used to eat mcdonalds with him sometimes, he's mute, actually. anyway, he still remembers me and because my ex used to give him money he thinks i will...no dice. yeah. have i written a long enough reply in your lj yet? i'm going to be.d
