Going to Astroworld was a big treat.<BR/><BR/>Truth be told, I discovered at Astroworld that I don't much care for amusement parks. But hey, almost every time I went it was with my church youth group, and there was always some young lady I had a crush on that I hoped to get close to at the park...somehow...<BR/><BR/>My first rock concert was at the Southern Star Amphitheater, though: Night Ranger and Starship. I'm deeply ashamed, though I came out of that show absolutely despising the former. I also saw Mr. Mister there with some local band called 4 Reasons Unknown.<BR/><BR/>My sister also went to her first concert at the Southern Star: Howard Jones. <BR/><BR/>Ah, memories...but if I survived the closures of Liberty Lunch and the Electric Lounge, I guess I'll survive this. Though I wonder where Houston junior high school kids are gonna go to hold hands and flirt...<BR/><BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9982236.post-1126647754647921532005-09-13T16:42:00.000-05:002005-09-13T16:42:00.000-05:00I feel for you, Greg.

They closed Sea World in Cleveland, and Cedar Point is now Six Flags Over Lake Erie or something stupid like that...I refuse to call it anything but Cedar Goddamn Fucking Point.<BR/><BR/>BTW...I can't find your email address anywhere.

I mean, it's a rainy area as you know, but I had a consecutive streak of maybe 10 failed excursions that lasted years. By my teens I went from wanting to claw my eyeballs out to no longer caring.<BR/><BR/>The gods did smile enough to let me see Steve Winwood and the Moody Blues (not together) there after high school. The Fixx opening for the Moody Blues... whose freakin' idea was that? It was comically bad.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's sad to see it go.BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399519424325418025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9982236.post-1126597278071598032005-09-13T02:41:00.000-05:002005-09-13T02:41:00.000-05:00NOOOOoooo!!!!!If Astroworld closes, that basically...NOOOOoooo!!!!!<BR/><BR/>If Astroworld closes, that basically means that everything associated with my childhood/adolescent years in Houston will be gone.<BR/><BR/>I, too, had the season passes for about 6 years running. My friend Julia used to work there and we all thought she was so grown up and cool because she MADE season passes as her job!<BR/><BR/>I puked on Greased Lighting.<BR/><BR/>I got stoned and then busted for it at the same Cheap Trick concert you attended. (I think I am still in trouble with my parents for that night.)<BR/><BR/>I might have to try to go back, one last time. OR maybe not. Some things hsould be left as a fond memory.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221918459527410952noreply@blogger.com
