In September 1982, the band drove from New York City to Metro Los Angeles and played a bunch of clubs when 88 Lines about 44 Women began to get increased radio airplay. George took photos of the trip, which photos were scanned in Spring 2009, when the transparencies (or slides) were discovered a couple of months after George died.
