Keith Alford: "It was at Swain's house. Susan made spaghetti. There was booze. It had rained a while bunch the days before and the driveway was dirt. It was muddy. Swain's band, The Happy Hour, didn't end up playing. We had a good time. Everyone was there. If I remember right, this would have been around the time Fifteen was slapping together their first record. Jack and Jeff rehearsed in Swain's garage. Writing songs, etc. My memory is shot, buddy. I remember we were a bit nervous to play which is why we didn't. I guess because Green Day was playing. I was loaded. 15 would have played all of the Swain stuff. I barely remember. I'm pretty certain this was Green Day before Tre. Yeah. So, early stuff, and Billie always did a few love songs for the 15 yr old girls."

Susan Linsey Hyder: "I remember that party. The cops came! Green Day was playing so loud! Jeff Ott came upstairs to keep me company. Don't remember the spaghetti. What fun in those days. That was the house with the skate ramp you guys built."
