What a great bunch of party animals!!! They treated us like gold!!!





      

The Rocket

Who Could Forget?
All beered up! Hanging over the front car or better yet,
standing up in the back car waving with 1 arm, hanging on with the other!
Remember Shorty? Remember Foghat? Birdman? Diane? Bo? Rita?


Remember the night we got kicked off and told not to return again?

Typical Practical Joke

Reminds me of Wayne Behrens. He use to crawl out of the bathroom window and sneak around to the front door. With an old suitcoat he found in one of our 'abandon house' tours, and a fake badge...he would barge in the front door screaming, "Your ALL busted!"
