Same here. First time I ever ate funnel cakes. It was like crack to a kid. Saw the Shroud of Turin.

Same. I was only 5 though so the only things I remember clearly is the cable car across the river and a big pirate ship in an exhibition hall.

I went a couple of times. My parents have a picture of me wearing white tennis shorts, a cut off nike shirt (the kind that came cut off), pulled up calf socks and nike turf cleats with an Atlanta Braves trucker hat. I was 11.

84 was pretty fricking bad arse.

I was 7. I was living in Dayton, Texas. I has just watched Star Wars on HBO a year earlier, had watched Return of the Jedi at the theater months later, and had just recently seen Empire Strikes Back (out of order--confusing) on Betamax. I wore Indiana Jones tshirts, bought Transfers and GiJoes at the mall, and spent my quarters at the San Jacinto Mall in Baytown!
