Bill Tarver always found a place for us to party. Once Bill made a deal with a Mr. Shelton (Mr.
Shelton was oriental) who had a catering service. We were to get free rent at the W.O.W. Hall
to have a party in exchange for our working for Shelton. We served tables, bartended, washed
dishes and swept up after some party that Mr. Shelton catered.
One other place where we partied was: The Crown Motel (still on Hwy 90 on the
west side of Beaumont)
Beatnik Party-Everyone grew a beard, I painted one on because I had no beard. I
remember crawling through some tunnel that we made to get to enter the party
