When it comes to this stuff, I'm a total idiot... Tonight I dug out the two suits I have that fit me somewhat. I found a gray wool suit that was made locally. I got it at goodwill for 5.00 when I was in college. It has a matching vest, but I didn't put it on. I called the store that sold it, and th...

People like this who spam BBses & forums are called "Street Teamers." Street Teamers can be spotted by the fact they only make 1 or 2 posts, usually massively off topic, and don't give any specifics about the band, movie or TV series they're pushing. Deodoralife could've mentioned that there are 3 d...

I'm probably going to have my 1 year old Gran'daughter that night, so the answer's "no" unless I don't have her. Of course if I don't have her I'll be too depressed to go... :cry: I'll try, maybe I'll be there with my wife & dad. I've told my older daughter to go since she likes Tiki & Von Franco, b...

I'd heard that they're not taking any more dinner reservations, that they're just about full-up in the dining rooms, but there still should be room to sit at the bars. This should show the Bahooka management that Tiki, Hot Rod & Mid Mod culture is good business. If there's not room at the bars, it'l...

I miss the old KPCC before Larry Mantle talked the school into selling the station to PRI :roll: , especially after they began adding more good mid-century lounge to the Swing they'd been playing for years.
