Jon Dunmore
F.U.P. COMPANY
F.U.P. secures a booth at the Music Expo: “Call To Arts”. Venue: Cal State University, Fullerton.

Thanks to Daren Burns, who assisted Jon Dunmore in braving the hordes of young artists intent on giving us their CD's which would end up as coasters in Dunmore's kitchen. (When it comes to Unsolicited Material, No still means No.) The bludgeoning impact of the F.U. t-shirts was not lost on the aimless wanderers.

The Expo featured artists, photographers, actors and other people without real jobs. There's the FUP Booth dead centre in the distance.

Dunmore, lording over his red realm.
