Here's a photo of what my grandma and aunts used to look like. The tallest one standing is my grandma. She's 87 now. The one sitting is my aunt. I just bumped into her at the thrift store a few minutes ago.

Sugarpants looks like the coolest kid ever.

Thanks! I wish I still had that shirt. I miss those boots, too. Still the best outfit I have ever put together in my entire life.

Miccio is sutting two seats away from a kid named CORY HAMBURGER. Which has got to be, like, the greatest name of all time.

― Remy Ulysses Fitzgerald (x Jeremy), Friday, 1 April 2005 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Really? I think he so looks like a Guided by Voices fan waiting to happen. (NB I know next to nothing about Guided by Voices).

CORY HAMBURGER

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 1 April 2005 21:36 (nineteen years ago) link

i know too many people in Miccio's pictures. My gay best friend is in his cub scout pic looking like a THUG.

I don't know if i remember Cory Hamburger. He sounds HOT.

also Gravel at age 8 looks like a child featured in a pamphlet distributed to women of child bearing age convincing them to have children - like who doesn't love this adorable kid sprawled out casually in a terry cloth dressing gown?

cuz I'm going "duhh..." in a class pic?

"Wu Tang Motherfuckers!" happened in Bloomington, IN, where we moved after living in Greeley (had we stayed I would have undoubtedly have met Mandee!).

My sister finally found the VHS of family photos my dad had (with good intentions but a little shortsightedly) transferred from old slides. Unfortunately, the one photo I really, really wanted to unearth--me before Neil Young's 1978 show at Maple Leaf Gardens--is not on there.
