I hear that Mr. Donovan is still headlining the Sportatorium.

Believe it or not, the one time I met him he struck me as an all right guy.

I know that after he left New England, he was a mainstay in HoPWF/NWL in NJ for a while, but he hasn't been mentioned on their site in a while. I searched his name but found nothing recent. He could be done, but I don't know.

His MySpace page is still active so I guess he ain't dead.

yeah, that's a good point. it's highly unlikely he'll be back in new england as he's been blackballed from pretty much every promotion in the area. besides, he burnt all of his bridges.

Neither can I.

Last I heard of him there was some small show in a club in Boston Area, w bands and stuff, and Donovan was supposed to be on the shows. I think he was, then got blackballed or w/e.

I think he holds the record for most F Bombs in an old NEI Board post, outdoing the Jason/Milano AC Coltrain promo in the August 02 ACW show in Meriden, where I met FF And his Padre. Smile
