What happened in 1989? - Page 2

Ghoulish Delight · 05-21-2007, 07:57 PM

I began my final year of elementary school. I don't remember much other than really liking my teacher and feeling very weird about the fact that I was finishing what I knew would be my longest tenure at any school (I was there for a full 7 years).

Finishing High School, went to my Grad Nite at Disneyland. As we watched the construction of Splash Mountain. We saw "Stevie B" on TSI. "Was not Was" at Carnation Gardens. Someone said that New Kids on the Block were there, but they were a band I was not into.
We literally walked onto rides. I also remember we all got dressed in the parking lot on the bus. Women first, Men last. Then we took the bus to the back of Disneyland and came in through a tunnel to Fantasyland. Had a turkey dinner at Villiage Haus. I only know of two people from our class that were casually dressed. By 5 am everyone in our class was back on the bus by Eeeyore.

Also I remember a few months later after Splash opened, they had major water flow problems causing the whole mountain too shake, it was so distinct, that I can never forget it.
Also I qualified for U.S Junior nationals in road racing, but my parents said I couldn't go.I had won three consecutive races previous to that, and placed 2nd at Districts.

Sigh. By the time I hit Grad Nite in 1995, they had completely stopped booking recognizable acts. Lame.

I actually would have liked to see WNW.

The only act I remember from my Grad Night (1982) was Tommy Tutone, including a 20 minute rendition of 867-5309.

Oddly enough, I was a miserable 8-year-old too! (only as a boy)

I had no friends, I used to get beat up as a kid, and the only thing I had going for me was the fact that I could read at a seventh-grade level!

I guess one thing I remember about 1989 was the fact that my oldest sister got married on September 23, 1989...and she'll always remember her wedding because all the news reported on that weekend was the devastating effects of Hurricane Hugo.

Actually, I'm kind of meh about 1989...nothing really exciting happened to me at all that year.

But, 1999...now that was a good year!

Hmmm, that would be kindergarten through 6th grade. That's why 7 years.

Anything before the past few years isn't really worth remembering. And the jury's still out on the past few years.

In 1989, I had been working for 2 years and married to my first wife for 2 years.
I also bought a brand new condo in SD for the astounding (both now and then) price of 96k.
