    I'll bring the 8-tracks. Traffic, Doobies, CSNY, Just Y, Allman's, Kansas, Santana, Steve Miller Band, Clapton, Heads, Clash, maybe some Floyd or Dead or Springsteen. Pass on the Cuban but double on the whiskey.

    I remember seeing the SMS movie at the Carolina Theatre in Durham when it was released (1986?). Not sure if we overlapped, I was at Duke Fall '84 - Spring '88.

    Yes, you should have taken me. But I forgive you, because I have a magnanimous heart and a generous spirit.

    Is anyone heading to Vegas for the UNLV game next month? Let me know. We should grab drinks.

    We've tried. We always seem to lose our way.

    And for the record: I hate 95 north of DC - took daughter to visit Worcester ('scuse me "Wuster" or "Wustah") Poly today.

    And yes, I deliberately posed that question in this thread.

    And you got to Duke a year too late. I was a senior when you were a freshman. Talking Heads was junior year.

    I remember that the day I toured Duke as a high school kid was the day after Neil Young had played in Cameron. Sealed the deal for me. I had a bootleg of that show for years, sure I still have it somewhere although doubt I have a cassette player.

    Hope you didn't haze me on an East-West bus or something. Hope I didn't spill a beer on you at he Down Under or at the bar/restaurant in the basement of Gilbert-Adams (forget the name).

    The Down Under WAS the bar/restaurant in the basement of Gilbert-Adams, also called the DU. I didn't go there much as a senior. Now, The Hideaway? Yeah, you might have spilled a beer on me there.

    The hideaway had the most awkward pool table. Half my shots needed the shorty.

    Correct, it's all a bit hazy. Didn't hang in the Slideaway too much; crowded and I don't shoot pool.

    Freshman year I lived on North (Hanes), and tended to just hunker down up there or at the Phi Kap section on East. Back in my counter-culture days. (Now, just anti-culture or non-culture).

    I recall it being known as Whippie back in the day. One of my Army buddies went there. His first duty station was Bahrain. He managed to piss off the officer responsible for LT duty assignments. He was an avid drinker of potent potables. Bahrain made him go through withdrawal.

    (It ain't bragging if you really done it) and I was the captain of the cheerleaders.

    And he doesn't remember me. Sigh. (jk, -jk) Glory Days have passed me by.

    Just WPI - did you hit up Clark and/or Holy Cross while you were there?

    WPI, pronounced whippy, right? The virtual space bar on my tablet gets stuck sometimes. Strange. Nope, I didn't. He and I and a hundred others met at Fort Gordon, GA. The West Pointers were notorious for their binge drinking. I'm a bit surprised no one died during the six months of OBC.

    Have two friends who are alumni - they both spell it out - W P I. But maybe in Worcester they say whippy.
