When Frank played the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans Oct 20, 1981 the audience were given masks when the tickets were taken, and instructed to hold them in front of our faces when Frank came out as a surprise.

The 'Mask' is a caricature of Frank with two 1/2" holes so we could see through it. The artwork has "Alexis Designs '81" in two places. It's about 8 1/2" X 11" and is on very heavy stock.

Did this mask make an appearance at any other concerts or is it a one-time deal? Anyone else still have one?

That is too cool! I'll have to see if there is a recording of this show, would be neat to hear his reaction!
