KTRU Christmas (Un-)Presents: No More El Camino

On a less-cheery note, apparently on the night of December 16th some asshole confused the whole “giving” spirit of the holidays with a more “taking” spirit and stole the quasi-legendary El Camino belonging to Kirston Otis (of Dead Roses/Future Blondes fame). Kirston was hanging out at Poison Girl and parked the car at Dunlavy and Maryland when the car got jacked.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. If the picture to the right looks weirdly familiar, that’s because this is/was the El Camino used as the sound booth for the “KTRU” stage at the last few Westheimer Block Parties. The car’s a sweet vehicle and a local icon, as well — whoever took it deserves to be punched repeatedly in the head ’til they stop moving.

At any rate, if you see a red-and-white El Camino with the license plate BB77SD, call the cops and/or mobilize the H-town Scenester Militia, via the Hands Up board. See here for some more info on the theft…
