Perfect Attendance

Oh yes, the highlight of Monsterfest for me occurred right before I even walked into the library. A woman pushing a stroller with a sleeping two-year-old girl noticed Joe and Lee and me striding side-by-side towards the library doors and remarked that the three of us looked awfully familiar to her. Turns out it was this girl named Anita, who ran with my group of friends back during the Outer Limits years. Outer Limits was this nightclub that we all helped organize and promote back around 1991 that involved Joe (who was the resident DJ), myself, S., just dave, Goofy Steve, and a Sharp skinhead named Chuck whom Anita was dating at the time. Lee wasn't part of our street team but he was at the club every single night. We really did offer the area music scene something very unique at the time, and it was an exciting, idealistic era to be involved.

Anyway, Anita is now a married mother of two pretty little girls that she had brought to Monsterfest with her husband for the first time and runs a website called Mommy Matinee which features family-oriented events in the Hampton Roads area, so if any of you locals know of family events going on in town please help her out and shoot her an email at her homepage.

But wow, I haven't seen this girl in seventeen years. And she still recognized us. Of course who knew Joe and Lee and I would still be hanging out together seventeen years later.
