I remember watching King KR at the Charity Newsies in Columbus in the '70s. (Two stroke flat track bikes RULE, don't they Pred?) The 80's were mostly a drunken stupor. Most of that list could have been from an alien planet if you asked me!

When I moved out of my parent's house last summer, I was going through my stuff in the bathroom. I came across one of those t-shirt corner thingys.. I lived in that house for 7 years, so since I was 15. I haven't worn one of those t-shirt thingys since well probably 3rd grade...so those things were in 3 other states. I had a bunch, so I guess it is possible for one to get mixed up with stuff...I hadn't seen it in so long I wasn't sure what it was anymore!
