On this date in history...

Wow - and it's not even anyone's birthday.

I looked at the date and realized it was the anniversary of the biggest earthquake I ever experienced: the Sylmar earthquake in 1971.

I remember being shaken awake in the bunkbed I shared with Suzanne. I believe I thought she was shaking the bed. You young'uns can read about it here.

C.O.M.E.T. Fun @ Lake Piru

Frank Clayton shared these with me. He had some home video converted to DVD format. Would be fun to see the movies but just seeing me and Suzanne at 11 and 10 is wild. Lake Piru was pretty much a giant pasture full of cow patties, but we didn't care. We had a lot of good times there. Frank said it's much different now - see for yourself.

Here are two shots Frank took on his trip back there last weekend. The first is a view of the lake, and the second is the drainage pipe where I gouged my skull open. Ah, memories...

Guess Who's Back...

BACKSTREET'S BACK!!!!!!

LMAO!!!

Tuesday, my friend, Nez, and I went to the Hot Topic on Hollywood and Highland and, as we were getting ready to leave, A.J. McLEAN walked in!

I was like, "Nez! That's AJ from the Backstreet Boys!" And Nez was like, "That's not him!" So, we were going back and forth about it, then the lady who was at the register was like, "If you're wondering, yeah, it's him. He comes in here all the time..." So, after an "I TOLD YOU SO!" to Nez, I got a picture with him...

I wasn't the only one either... There were 3 other people (about my age, too!) asking to take a picture with him. It was so funny seeing him because I used to be a hardcore fan and drive Mom and Dad nuts, but I never got to meet any of them when I was younger... NOW he pops up in Hot Topic (of all places!) and me and a bunch of other freaks are wanting pictures...

What a funny night that was!
