PAC MAN FEVER

See y'all in about 12 hours. You better be ready to bring it at the arcade. Here's some inspiration from 1981. I think I had a 45 of this song. Enjoy.

BLUEPLATE BRUNCH

Okay, all of my IB History students (please don't bring your friends as the restaurant is way too small already) are more than invited to meet up at Blueplate on Tuesday, June 17 at 11:00 AM. Bring cash and enough for a tip. We need to be out of there by noon or so before it gets too crowded. Perhaps we can walk over to Old Town and play some 80s video games at Ground Kontrol.

SWEEP THE LEG!


Who You Gonna Call?

Some of my favorite TV shows from childhood


















Why Coke, Why?

Another big thing from the 1980s was when Coke came out with New Coke. I can personally attest that it was awful.

Note the sweet sweater.


Atari 2600 Commercial

I had an Atari 2600 and I sold it to a classmate of mine when I was in the 6th grade. Got $45 for it. I miss it now.

Another 1980s Classic

I believe this song went to #1. I have no explanation.
