Wow, after reading all of these accounts, I guess I gotta get out more

Just throw more parties!

Deezamn! Epic even for sure! The way things are with social media, I wonder what would happen if someone tried something like that nowadays (I assume your party was before the days of internet?)?

I assume it was before the days of radio....

I've had no encounters with the fuzz, ever...and anyone who says otherwise is a damn liar, 'specially if they went to college with me!

Fish on...

Sound's Like we are from the same time zone Good friend was one who got busted by said sting. Funny story he walked many mile's home from a party cop's picked him up just as he arrived home on his birthday. Draveling I think was the cop.Chinese Place ???

KK,

To sad! I attended Sky River III, which wasn't at Sky River due to, those guys upstairs you mentioned. Best thing I could imagine this side of Woodstock, which was that same summer.

I've lately been attending a mini-rock festival called Maltby, which is no longer at Maltby for various good reasons. No famous acts, but fun 60s garage bands, and only 6 kegs of beer, plus whatever else people bring, and a pit-roasted whole pig.

Good times.

Anyone party at "Beer bottle beach" on the Green river in Kent ? Attended lots of keggers in the late 70's early 80's.

For sure that was him
77 Dang that makes me feel old !!!.

Yup

This is like a reunion or something.

except I am trying to figure who you guy's are.

You guys are old. I was in 6th grade in 1977. Crap, I bet mini-Fly wasn't even born yet.

So what do you guys like better, the Hoveround or the Rascal electric scooters?

All you sum bitches smell like weed. Dudes to the right and girls over here for search Fat chicks are free to go.

Driftboat suits me just fine.
Have not made a decision on the scooter just yet.

sounds like some of you characters are from my old stomping grounds

i was probably sitting on my arse drinking beers typing on the internet instead
are you for real on the 77 thing?
if so? small world

Sophmore year in high school a buddy and I were stoked to go see Pearl Jam I think it was like three shows they were playing in Seattle Decebmber 7,8,9,. Our parents, gave us both the be careful be on your best behavior speech. Well we had a taste for the best beer on earth, "Schmidts" so we figured we would just bring a few along for the trip. We scored tix for the 1st and last nights of the 3 shows. First show we skipped last two classes of the day and drank beers at buddies place and took off around 5pm for the show. I was rollin up I5 at a steady 80mph when my buddy goes "Jack you just passed a cop and he's pulling out with his lights on." I slowed down and tried to think what to do with the beer in my lap, the two in the cup holder, the half rack at my feet and pretty much the same lineup for my buddy in the passenger seat, but add a 1/4 of some really stinky weed and his not so tiny bubbler. I froze and did nada as I was pulling over to the side of the road. I remember just staring into my mirror as the cop approached the car and about 5 yards from us he sprinted back to the car and took off. Silence..... THEN "Jack get the fauk out of here man, go go go go." I got back in traffic and got off on mercer and we went straight to the McDonalds by Mercer Arena (I think it was called) and got large waters and replaced the fine h20 with Big winter buck Schmidts. Show was awesome, the last night I think Eddie smashed a hole in the stage with his mic stand and crawled down that as an exit. Good times, bad bad decisions, lucky bastards we were. Took me a bit to wise up on the drinknig and driving but by the end of that year, I was usually the dd, and to this day don't risk my life or others by acting like a bafoon. BTW, Some of the best shows I have seen came out of that arena. Bad ass place. Great venue for this little band outta Texas to come rock. I think they were called Pantera!

KK- Talking good times. Putting on keggers at the dip, the cars would be lined up both sides of Coal Creek Parkway. The rope swing at lake Boren, happy vally road the wound into the town of Newcastle. The coal mines along the old road up to the landfill. The upper and lower Nike sites. "Old Baldy" at the top of Cougar Mountian.

My good friend Betty Nelson (RIP) hosted the original Sky River. I didn't attend it because I hadn't moved to Washington State yet. Her son Ward played in a band I managed and we would talk about it often. Several years back there was a huge (2 full pages) article in the Sunday Seattle Times, or PI about Betty, Sky River and her Art. Woodstock and Sky River set the bars for what's now considered unreachable heights. The so called bigwigs you mention were probably the clueless, racist, hippie hate'n, "Easy Rider" type rednecks that thought smoking Pot was dangerous and evil.
