Point and Shoot, Florida (YU)--Heap would buy and read the NOLA Express.

Hippies sold it in the French Quarter, instead of panhandling. Or in addition to panhandling.

He first read Bukowski's poems and short stories in the NOLA Express. This was before Post Office, maybe before the collections of stories, or books of poetry.

Anyhow, Heap liked his stiff.

One issue of the NOLA Express had a front page that said WELCOM BAPTIST CONVENTION.

The back page had a picture of a naked man jacking off while holding a Playboy magazine. The caption asked, "What sort of a man reads Playboy."

Heap was later to meet Robert Head and Darlene Fife, the publishers of NOLA Express, and through them., Patrick Kelly, Blue Horse magazine.

In fact, Screed, and Evil Genius, had Patrick Kelly drawings on the front cover.
