Sammy Johns: "Chevy Van"

No….all I ever wanted was for you to know that I care.

yeah, I don't think you can either. Funny scenario if the film was still usable but no way of "playing it back".

I modified mine so I can record onto a miniDV recorder. Works pretty good, especially since you can make sure what you are shooting is exposed properly.

On my PCT hike two years ago, in the middle of nowhere at Kennedy Meadows general store, I found a cartridge of super 8 for sale, only $7.50. I think it might have been there when I was at that place back in 1996 also.

No Izzy, No Duff, No Deal.

The local Retro arcade put up a thing about Lemmy getting some high scores on Tempest and putting everyone inside the arcade on the guest list:

Friend of a friend worked for a music venue doing whatever last minute requests the performer needed. After a Motörhead show Lemmy wanted a tour of the town, eg strip clubs and cool bars. So, for the next several hours they took cabs around town together doing just that, but also hanging and talking like they had…

You are correct. Nametags and cookies are over on the table by the window.

Looking at YouTube comments, I always laugh when I see comments about "I wish I grew up in the 1990s, the Justin Bieber music now sucks!", as if New Kids on the Block never existed.

And the long outro to the live 1978 version of Incident on 57th Street.

It is much easier now that it was in the 1990s. (76% less face shaking required!)

Home Alone
My wife and I thought we should watch a Christmas movie on Christmas. Neither of us had seen Home Alone despite hearing constant references to it for the last 25 (!) years, so we felt like this was a good time to finally watch it.

When did it start? Was it Clinton playing saxophone on MTV?

your comment was "so good".

This was nice, had never heard of this song before.

really? shit. I forgot about that.

I've had Chevy Van stuck in my head all day this morning when I wrote that post, er, 9 hours ago. I actually like the song, and didn't know until today that it was the Wrecking Crew playing behind him.

Addendum: There was actually an empty seat next to me, but it had a post directly blocking the screen once you sat down. I also kept myself entertained by people asking to sit down there, sitting down, saying a variation of "yow!", then promptly leaving.

Saw The Force Awakens, yet since I don't want to give any spoilers, I will talk about the experience instead.
