THE GYGAX! MEMORIAL THREAD

So last night (Sunday 11/21) I was at the Animal Collective show at Webster Hall in the guest list/VIP area. A table was reserved for “Coco Schwab” (clearly a pseudonym—if you really wanted to be on the D.L., why not choose a name like Jim Smith or something???) but nobody showed up by the time the AC were taking the stage. My girlfriend and I pushed up to the table to get a better look. After about 5 minutes of music, some security goons come to make a perimeter for Coco, a.k.a. David Bowie. He was there with a handler/manager who seemed pretty bummed on the music. David was dressed in a tan hoodie, which made him look like an aging British hip-hop fan. Also: very short. He stayed for 15-20 minutes or so and then left. Soon after he left I had to take a leak and went down to the basement to do so. Once in the garish men’s room I realized they were blasting “Heroes”—could it be that Bowie is pee-shy and needs to hear one of his own songs to do the deed? He wasn’t at the urinals, but maybe he was in a stall? or maybe the whole thing was a coincidence…

The Coco Schwab pseudonym gets explained in that 33 1/3 series book I think. He pulled a similar routine at a Clap Your Hands...show a while back. He even signs up for band emails with that Coco Schwab name/address.
