Hi, Zane -
I live near Detroit in a city called Ypsilanti (which is a small college town attached to Ann Arbor). Detroit is about a 30 minute drive away, but our "region" is always called the "greater Detroit area" because we are all lumped together in the same "scenes".
I am not sure how healthy or how musically active Niagara is, but she still has a presence, mostly in the visual arts scene. Like I said, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out more about her current status on the web.
Bookies is still around, but not the way you remember it (and it isn't the same version: it is a new construction that is pretty nice, but not the same old club; people still speak fondly of the "legendary" Bookie's; here is a link to the new one: http://www.bookiesbar.com/, it is more of a sports bar and pretty douche-y. This is the one you are thinking of: http://www.bookiesclub870.com/)
I play in bands and stuff but I am not the KK of Trudi and KK. Would you mind explaining the story there?
thanks, great chatting with you,
KK

Thanks for responding to my question about Destroy All Monsters! I'm so glad to hear Niagara is doing well and is still active on the scene. She was SO thin back then we were always waiting for her to just fall over... I haven't been to Detroit in years but I always loved it. I know it's kinda farfetched but the club "Bookies" wouldn't happen to still be there would it? Also, do you live in Detroit or somewhere else? I only ask because of your name KK. Just thought you might be the K.K. of Trudi and K.K......
