Upper Crust


This is a gathering place for assorted Upper Crust images and diversions. Please feel free to relax and languidly peruse the various articles collected here for your amusement. If you spot something that tickles your fancy, simply click on the small image, and through the marvels of late-20th century technology a larger image will magically appear on your screen. All images are less than 40k unless otherwise indicated, and most are less than 30k.


These photos were taken by Crust fan Eric Law at the Middle East on May 2, 1998. The Upper Crust were opening for the Dictators; you can also check out the set list.

A bunch taken by your Web Serf with my new digital camera at Coney Island High on Feb. 21. Should be considered more of an historical record than as examples of fine photography. (For the latter, see Eric Law's photos a little further down.)
