  1. I was 18 that summer and my Dad bought one for me; how could I refuse? A lot of water was also consumed as I recall...
  2. ...but they DID have Labatt's 50 for sale in the concession stands...and the drinking age at the time was 18...and prelims in '81 was very sunny and hot...
  3. "Kids and life" started happening after the '92 season, so "live" viewings disappeared for essentially all of the 90s and 00s...shows that I REALLY wish to have seen live? - '96 Phantom and BD, Finals - '99 SCV and BD, Finals - '03 SCV (watching the video just gives me such cool, powerful vibes) - '08 Phantom and BD, Finals - '09 SCV - '11 Phantom (they were rained out at the Massillon show, but got to see SCV) - '22 Troopers Shows that I'm REALLY thankful for HAVING seen live? Too many to count, but: - Every Finals from '74 to '82 (marched '75 and '82 so only saw parts) - Every SCV show from '74 to '92
  4. Ahh, 1987! I was a grad student at Michigan State. Got it in my mind to "just drive up to Madison to go to Finals"...fortunately, one of my friends grew up near Madison (he went to U-W undergrad) and his family still lived there and offered overnight lodging. I drive up, find a spot to park on a side street somewhat near the stadium, and on my way up to the stadium find someone selling a single ticket. I vividly remember all of the above and attending the show, but for the life of me can't remember where I was sitting 😂
  5. I used to dream about having a car that had either 1) a vehicle-sized pancake flipper that could be deployed to "remove" the car ahead of you, or 2) some type of grappling arrangement whereby the car ahead of you could be lifted up and over your car and placed on the road behind you...
  6. Take it for what it's worth, but sometimes the internet is an amazing place 😂 https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephbernstein/introducing-the-ultimate-thumb-war-simulator
  7. I've always REALLY liked their '86 show. The whole middle part with the "ribbon boxes" that moved around / highlighted / wove through the rest of the corps was fantastic.
  8. If it's something good we'd all appreciate a pic...😎
