I open this topic with a very special communique from Marti Domination, email from 1999.

I send big hellos to everyone. I was particularly excited about the mention of the brown couch. The mere mention of it caused a brown couch memory to come flooding back to me...Me and Howie Pyro were alcoholically lolling on the Brown couch when a look of horror came upon his face. "Oh God, " he muttered, "There's that bald guy who's been trying to attack me for 15 years!! Oh my god, I think he SEES ME!!" "Oh wow, " I slurred, "There's that famous Mapplethorpe model.....he's walking right over towards us!" It soon became apparent that we were both talking about Constance. He dived upon Howie and started frenching him. He was in male guise and was wearing a big pair of biker boots that were kicking frantically and narrowly missing my head. Too drunk to actually walk, I crawled onto the floor trying to escape, trying to make my way to the railing of the staircase. Reaching out with my hand, I grabbed a nice shapely female leg in a high shoe, and, comforted by the sudden stability of it, I began hugging the friendly leg with both arms and yelling, "I love this leg! I love this leg!" Then I looked up saw Michael Schmidt talking to the leg's owner. I had been grasping onto Debravation's leg and she was still deep in conversation. This memory has been brought to you by the Brown Couch!!

Love- Marti Domination

What ever happened to the Brown Couch anyway? I mean, I came one week and it had vanished with no explanation.

Dear Gnat, we had to finally throw out "The Brown Couch" (very reluctantly) because it was infested with cooties. Thanks for asking

I was sitting on a twin of the old J60 brown couch at CBGB's Lounge for Betty Page. No wonder the place is getting such raves from Jackie Legends....It is full of brown couches.
