3rd annual After School Special wrapup

Published by jer on 8/1/2005 in Uncategorized

Now that the After School Special party is all over, and the last of the beer bottles has been recycled, I thought I might offer to our viewers just a glipse of what this year’s event was all about. For those of you unfamiliar with the theme, we try to capture the vibe of the year 1978, with mustaches, mulletts, jeans jackets, and rawk and roll… best summed up with the image of Scott Baio in one of those after school specials from our TV past, then throw in the mix of characters that you might find at the parking lot scene at a Steve Miller Band show.
This year’s event, which featured an outdoor screening of Led Zepplin’s “How the West Was Won”, a carnival style moon bounce, a live rock show by OneHandFree, and enough jello shots to put down a large moose, was (as you might imagine) a wild success. Thanks to the band for kicking out the .38 Special and Night Ranger covers to really tie it all together.

If this piques your interest, well, you’ll just have to show up next time for the full experience
