NOTE
On November 19th, 2001 Spencer Brassard arrived
in Japan. It was
his third attempt: The first had began when
Camille, his father, was over,
visiting his rooms in Augusta, Maine. He
had come to look after things, in
a manner of speaking. Lady, Camille's dog,
had unfortunately ... Well, the
police had executed her. Spencer, meantime
had come across Camille's bag
and found a fistful of little blue pills
... He woke up some hundreds of
miles away in Roxsbury, Mass., having lost
four days somewhere, coming too,
whatever, surrounded by a number of African
Americans who wanted to kill
him! Needless to say he missed the plane,
even if he had remembered it.
Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, the Law there,
where he now was, wanted
Spencer for old fines he had neglected to
pay; 'Peeping Tom and such!' That
cleared he was, to everyone's surprise simply
let go. Perhaps a mistake,
for while napping at Boston's South bus station,
on a bench, when someone
woke him. Tired, merely slung the character
down the stairs and into the
road. It was a Cop. Now in his turn he was
slung ..... into the back of
the police cruiser! Somewhat fed up he tore
off the wire mesh penning him
in. Then he proceeded to smash out all the
back windows of the police car
with his handcuffs. Strike out Number One.
Re-organized for his second attempt, he now
let his apartment go --
with Camille still in it! Finding his way
onto a North West aircraft, he
was nervous. It had after all, all been a
major trauma to him; his rooms
were now gone; those from which he had so
carefully re-made his life, built
back up from zero; and now Portland Airport,
just post September 11th. It
was from here that a number of hijackers
had set forth on infamy. Spencer
had missed all this. Pretty much the worse
for ware, his documents, (some
Colombian) included the word 'Terrorizer"
[of his father]. That was enough.
Without hesitation, heavies boarded and he
was ordered/thrown off the
plane. Now outside, his passport, birth certificate,
surviving cash, etc.,
were all mislaid or stolen. Strike out Number
Two.
The third attempt was ready to leave and
he waited at public phone
a mile or so out of Augusta. It was a no
show. And it was 4:00 A.M.! He
began pounding on doors, never a popular
thing in the USA. Hs plan was only
was to rouse someone up and get them to drive
him the few hundred miles to
Portland. His own license had long since
been seized by the police. He got
the ride!! At the airport, again, nobody
would help him there, so he
connected up all his seven (7) huge bags
totaling 450 lb. (200 kg.) and
with Chewy, his crazy pit bull running shot
gun, the train checked in.
Meanwhile, Camille had been evicted, cast
out into the street.
At Nagoya Airport Spencer did not appear.
After a long while a
functionary from Quarantine appeared and
begged Yoshiko and I to come. We
went through security without papers or checking;
all totally forgotten.
Spencer was there! And waving aloft a 2/3rd
empty bottle of Johnny Walker,
12 year old. His arm was full of prison tattoos
[by self] and included a
swastika and a Mickey Mouse. Chewy, his beloved
pit bull, was barking
madly. Spencer leaned over;
"I started this bottle just 3 hours
ago." He then whispered; "You
know it can take eight to ten Cops to hold
me down."
Oh dear, our friend Spencer Brassard had
arrived.
Meet him at this party.
