Minnesota/Minnesotans C or D

I live by 4fton 4lps. That's "Military Road." 70th St. 'Bout two miles west of the aforementioned ski area.

I can't remember, were the St4ben0ws still living around there while you were in school? Jessica was in my class and I can't remember if she had younger siblings or not.

Wait, the J0hnsons lived out that way (wildly uncommon name, I know)! I think they had 5 or 6 kids in that family, the youngest of which was probably in school at the same time as you (Dan was in my class; he was a kick-ass distance runner who went to Brown).

Jesse went to Nepal w/the Peace Corps. Zach almost made the US Ski Team and Nate...live in Wyoming for a while?

I knew Wade J0hnson. Nice guy. Dated my One Twue Wuv for a while in 8th grade and I wanted to kill him for it.

Would have been cooler if she always had been.

Dan, you can get up off the floor now.

(Did I mention that MN is classic? Because it fucking is, esp. STPL.)

CLASSIC

Matos - Rod Smith will probably be able to back up my story about the invention of gaydar (when I was 16 and in the store, employee GT was macking on some straight boy and I asked him if his really existed). But that song-parody doesn't even begin to touch THE GENIUS. He used to tell people that his folks were called Evelyn and Trevylan Smith; the sisters that wanted to meet/fuck all the instore guests, but were like punk versions of the Chaska girls in Fargo, were known as Doperone Twins. He may also be able to still impart ridiculous pieces of made-up bullshit to gullible strangers with a straight face, 'purely to generate a meme.'

Hastings massive: it sounds like for all the other weirdness, it was a good place to get an education, considering where people escaped to!

He still does all this shit. It's just amazing. I want to grow up to be him so badly.

tall? lanky hair? brunette? busty? First Ave regulars? I think I know these people.

The big difference between Rod Smith and all the other bears is that he was 'generating a meme' in 1985, and knew it.

so, woodbury then?

I used to deliver pizza in Woodbury. BARF BARF BARF

My high school job, just to reminisce, was at Musicland in the mall in downtown St. Paul that was not Galtier Plaza. One night, probably in late '87 or early '88, Axl and Slash stopped by because they were opening for Aerosmith at the Civic Center, and they wanted to see if we had their record, and we didn't.

The one cassette in stock of "Rhyme Pays" and "A Salt With A Deadly Pepa" were shoplifted each time.

The security guard there with a Malcolm X bright-orange close haircut came into the store one day, excited, and we both had read the five-star review of 'It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back' and were excited to hear it.

A woman was browsing the jazz cassettes for a workout tape, and somehow I honestly thought that 'In A Silent Way' would be appropriate.

NOTHING on YouTube, this must be rectified. Anyone?
