At this point I believe Vax was working in the family Pizza joint (a walk-up window just north of Brooks, maybe where Billy's father was, later on?) As I understood it, they were informally connected with the Krishnas (it was vegetarian pizza). Not much later he moved out on his own and was making tee-shirts, and selling them on the oeceanfront walk. They were 'art' shirts, each one different. He gave me one as thanks for the photos over the years and I wore it till there was nothing but shreds. God how I loved that tee!
