I wonder if I still have that

Not having any/enough guys was the problem. We never had a clique, and always struggled to get enough bodies, to go out and play team sports. When the girls came along, they were not in cliques either. They were not the pretty and popular girls. Our girls were all-academic strays.

Most of the girls were stereotypically quiet. ACS was always firing off quips. And my future wife was bombastic. But that's it. These girls could not talk trash. They just turned around, and regurgitated whatever was hurled at them. Where you did hear them was around the boombox, when they sang along to music.

When we started to get all discombobulated, it was, as Cat rolled her eyes, "Like trying to put out a fire with brooms."

Little Laura never smiled and rarely spoke. So when, sitting on the bench, she said, "We can beat these guys!," those were marching orders! The rest of us had no choice, but to play with smarts and energy. And that's when the music gave us a boost.

I never went to Honkers. I'm not sure which Berkeley radio shop I went to in the late-80s, but the guy said that those who were dissing the discontinued JAN Phillips vacuum tubes would regret it. Okay, it's taken a few decades, but he's right; those "nobody wants 'em" JAN Phillips tubes are now pricey.

If I have the Stereophile CD opener, it is at my parents' place. I'm pretty sure the March 1993 button, pamphlet, and maybe ticket stub are in my room there.
