I saw Three Dog Night in Wichita, KS in '81, their reunion tour. It was a small venue, about 250 people, indoors, and I was 6 feet away from the stage. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.

And when I made it out to Needles, I thought of that concert.

That time I was a very bad daughter, in 1991.

My parents bought our family home in early 1991. At that time, they both worked 2 jobs, including a nighttime janitorial couples job at local government offices. I was in my early troublesome teen era. I threw a party at our home & invited only my friends from 3 different high schools. The word got out & every single high school crowd had found out about it. Our street had hundreds of teens arriving, almost all at once. I was flabbergasted & didn't know what to do because people wouldn't leave. Several had invaded my bedroom & messing my stuff up. parents came home. They were freaking out. My Mom picked up her broom & started yelling & literally sweeping people out with broom. 6 cop cars arrived because neighbours called. Everyone scattered. I jumped in a car with 3 friends & met up with others at Layritz Park. Where we then set up a random obstacle course & did races at it for 2 hours before cops came to chase us off. We ended up at Durrance Lake & skinnydipped by moonlight.

I was grounded for 2 weeks & had my driving privileges revoked for a month. I deserved it for being an irresponsible little shit.

Ooh, just dug this out. Raw comic magazine compilation selected from the first 3 issues (Read Yourself Raw, 1987). I think a mate bought it for me in my late teens as a birthday pressie (£9.99 from Forbidden Planet when it was on Dawson St. Dublin). Or I bought it in the company of a mate on a city centre comic spree. Either way, I’m glad it’s rediscovered. #MemoryLane #RawMagazine #ArtSpiegelman #GaryPanter #1980s #Comics #ComicBookArt

I seem to have saved a few bits and bobs from the time of the currency change-over to the Euro. A few ads, newspaper clippings, and that Irish £ to € calculator which I’m pretty sure I used only about twice. My memory is that I got Euros out of an ATM after a New Year’s party at the Project Arts Centre … and that was it. Currency transition done.
