The Didjits were the kingpins of the local music scene circa 1990. A guy named Dave Landis did graphic design work for them (flyers/album covers) and came up with the idea as a benefit for Muscular Dystrophy Association (where his wife worked at the time). He pitched the idea of everyone covering another band to the likes of Poster Children and Honcho Overload and all of the musicians were on board. The line to get in the bar was out the door and down the block both of the first 2 years. So when Dave eventually left town… I basically took the ball and ran with it, and have been running ever since.
