Anyway...it was during a private promotion for her solo release Def, Dumb & Blonde. A group of us loaded up on a yacht for the night in SF and floated around the bay area. She peformed a set on the boat (which was swaying all over the place). She wore a black leotard with a cat tail and was pretty amazing. Sang solo and Blondie songs...oh the Rapture of it all. I was standing right next to her. No place really else to be. Very small and tight and not designed as a stage. After the performance, talked a bit about her Rockbird album with her. She was cool even though a bit wasted.

Those outfits she wore back then were
insane, I wish there was a pic of that particular one. I don't think she was doing heroin at that time, though, so it must have been something else.
Cool story.
The most I ever got was to briefly shake hands with her and Roy Nathanson after a Passengers concert. If I ever got to actually meet her, I'd pass out and have to be revived.
