Blackcat has been mia for a few years - since the first San Juan Clave.

Blackcat was at the first San Juan 'Clave as a kind of peripheral
presence with a posse. He complained that his posse was dissed by
roffians. Bruiser apologized, although I don't know why, other than
Bruiser being a sweetheart. Blackcat and his posse were standoffish
and snooty, hell they didn't even puff cigars, chug tequila or
smoke dope, all they wanted to do was kick our asses at billiards
and that grew old in a damn big hurry.
