Some people are aware of this, but for those of you who are not, I, along with a few film students, have been putting together a documentary/memorial film about Jay. For anyone who wants to be a part of the finalization of this project, we are now setting up interviews for those who would like to say a few words about Jay or even to Jay. This documentary contains footage from both the memorial shows (Van and Vic) and words from people who were willing to speak at those times.
As I know there are many people who haven't been able to pay their respects the way they wanted, this is a chance to say goodbye, pay tribute and tell Jay and all who loved him what he meant to you.
We would like to set up daytime and evening times and want to get this wrapped up by early next week.
If you want to participate, please email me at [email protected] or [email protected] to set up a time for you.
Also if you have any older photos or footage from shows that we may not have, please let me know - it can be added in if you consent to it. - Mon, 5 Mar 2007 11:40am

I think your best bet is 'taking it to the streets', after all, that was where 'Jay Brown's' roots were in this city..

Question is: is whether you can take your equpis' through 'The Mean Streets of Victoria and Vancouver'? - Mon, 12 Mar 2007 7:23pm Edited: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 7:23pm

Jay's roots may have been the streets, but that was a long time ago. the real story should be told, about how he started out as a midget performer for the circus and through years of plastic surgery and Red Bull he became the loveable punk rock sleaze we remember today! I'm willing to bet my sachel he's eating up all this attention like sunday dinner wherever he is. But seriously i think these dudes are doing this right by interviewing the people closest to him and those who were in bands with him and the like. these are the people most likely to have valid and interesting dirt on him. There may be like a million of us that knew OF him, but people who actually knew him more intimately (so to speak) are a more appropriate selection to eulogize his life. Although admitedly it would be interesting to hear if there any street level stories about him. - Wed, 14 Mar 2007 12:30pm Edited: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 12:32pm

A lot of people have posted things from the "old" days but very few of them have actually come forward to participate in this project. There have been some pleasant surprises however. People have also come up with good ideas and suggestions. Once AGAIN.... thank you to everyone. And keep it coming! - Wed, 14 Mar 2007 12:45pm

Jay is a very important person in Victoria punk rock history... and i remeber meeting him in Piss Alley about 1986ish. I think a documentary on this man is a great idea.
I'm glad I got to sit with J a few months back and talk about my brother and our kids. I was never close to Jay or in his notch of the punk scene but we where from the same family... the Victoria punk family.... the punk that was punk.... not just a shopping mall thing. When i was standing at a gig feeling out of place (Too Old)... it was always J who walked up and said "Hi" - Tue, 20 Mar 2007 6:36am

Not as 'WEIRD' as 'Phil' refering to J as a "MIDGET".

(Buddy that's $2.00 you'll be happy to shell out 4, when it comes time 2 see it... Respect!) - Tue, 20 Mar 2007 9:49pm
