"BLAST" from the Past

[Isaac]

Yup. It was quite a day!

It was Friday, August 2, 2002.

Uncle Dick was planning to visit DCA since Kamaka (aka "The Blast Hips Chick") was quitting the show & planning to return home to Hawaii. By coincidence, another hawaiian personality, Gemini Cricket, was in town from Monterey and wanted to meet some of his fellow MousePadders. During this time, TDA was promoting a summer concert series of over-the-hill music acts, titled "Rockin' The Bay", which featured such headliners as The Temptations, The Turtles ("Featuring Flo & Eddie"), The Village People and many more. On this particular day, The Bangles were performing around 4PM on a temporary stage set up across from Golden Dreams. Between Kamaka's final appearance, The Bangles free live show, and Gemini Cricket's first meet, it's no wonder that so many people showed up that Friday afternoon. Among those people were 2 MousePadders, who were familiar w/ each others screenname but never met, innerSpaceman and zapppop.

Aah! memories!

BTW: Nick's old screenname was 'nmoreles', and yes, Kamaka is wearing red.
