Our friend Vince Jordan provided these posters from his Long Beach, California, club The Blue Cafe. Lester Butler bands, in various configurations, were regulars there.
Here are four circa 1995-96. (Note that the second poster, the pink one, has a wrong date: Lester would have played Saturday, May 4, 1996.)
Most recently, he shared another poster for Lester Butler & 13 on May 2, 1997, (above) and an incredible green child-sized Lester Butler tribute T-shirt:
Even if you never visited the club before it closed 10 years ago, check out the Blue Cafe Facebook page. There are all kinds of great blues photos and memorabilia there.

No Fightin' 
I had that one t-shirt In Loving Memory, not sure where I got it, but I did give Vince a large BOOGIETOWN poster when 13 played. JJ I hope you enjoyed the Chesterfield espresso cup from France, there’s only 2 of those cups in the whole world, you have one and I have one.
