Sports Page-early 80's to late 80's.

Caterie all the time.

Papa Joes-Florida Blvd. by Little John area. Little Saigon area now. Mid to late 80's.

Plank Rd., north of the Airport in Brownsfield area. Mid to late 80's.

And Hootie and the Blowfish, Sheryl Crow, Better than Ezra, and Toad the Wet Sproket at The Varsity in the 90's.

St. Louis Sheiks at The Chimes in the 80's. This was before Tim Hood bought the Varsity.

After that, I graduated, got married, raised kids, and quit running the roads. Plus, I got old and couldn't stay up that late...

You are me is you.

I still just shake my head in wonder at the shows that came through the Varsity in the mid 90s. Caterie ALL the time. Old Chelsea's was ridiculous with the food and music and fun. You left out Dave Matthews Band at the Varsity. Other wise, yeah, awesome shows back then. That triumvirate ruled and were all you needed.

Just to throw another one in, Jimmy Buffet brought his crazy show to the PMAC. That was a fun date.
