Last Call

Only a few more days remain to make your arrangements and get your gear together for the reunion. Since this probably won't happen again, we hope everybody can attend. Being realistic, those of you who won't be there: know that we're shooting a lot of pictures. It will be easy to post them to our FaceBook page. If you do not partake of that, please give us your email addy so we can kite them to you that way.

Since I found it so interesting, I'm hoping you will appreciate An Interview With Fitz regarding the timeline of Punk Night:

I'm still trying to figure out the "1980 timeline." My business partner Jim and I bought the bar of January 22, 1981. Punk night started the winter of 1982 (end of January), about 6 months after MTV started - that was on August 1, 1981. Wave night lasted from January 1982 to September 1984, when the MNDC (Monday Night Dance Club) started "card night" (i.e. gay night).

If you're attending expect to hear some throw-back mixes since Fitz was able to digitize some of the actual tapes from back then. Hopefully, it will be just a great get-together. We are now hearing about all the things we'd like to fit into the program...and realizing we likely could have done this over another day. Unfortunately, that's not practical, so please attend if you can 'cause we'll definitely miss you.

Check in @ the Comfort Suites for those of us staying there is 3P on Sat. We should have the 'dance area' set up by about 7P. We do have to at least tone down the music by 10P and probably will be ousted between 11P and Midnight. We can then decide if some of us want to go to the club nearby...or maybe check out Jimmy B's (the old Flame). We should probably also anticipate a brunch with everybody before departure on Sunday, probably at Perkins (across the street). We hope to see you ALL there. Friends and significant others are of course welcome.

Cheers!

The FlameStock Crew
