BLOCK PARTY

[RAMBALLFAN]

I really miss Texas Wisconsin Border Cafe. Big fan of Bamboo as well. We could always slip in at 1:45AM for one more drink before last call.

Widow Maker Chili on Sunday after a serious Saturday night of drinking!

And the “Slam-Boo” for the last last call was a must do.

Thank God there was no social media back then.

Why do you think the "young folk" don't have as much fun as you did?

Because they are always walking around with their heads down, stuck in their phones and not at computers like us.
Seriously, many young people I know (not all) are tied to their gadgets, on them all the time and then still complain of being bored. Try putting them down and going to a block party and dancing like no one is watching! But I'm just a geezer, I really have no idea. Just having some fun here.

You can still get that chili not too far away, Sheppard Street Cafe has it and uses the original recipe.

I thought so. I need to get over there. I am a sissy. I need to go with the half and half.

VCU was plenty fun in the late 2000s and early 2010s, I can assure everyone. Fun enough I needed to spend an extra semester in school.

Just one extra semester? You weren’t having enough fun It was always fun seeing the same knuckle heads at Add/Drop every year.

My add/drop was in the Mosque.

Eight years of college down the drain

In the middle of it all I had a deployment to Iraq (refreshed Yahoo Sports for that CBI series against SLU on really bad internet). What was funny was one of my professors alleged that I never took a final, despite me signing the roster and handing in an exam. I checked my grades while on deployment and was surprised getting an "F". After complaining to the school, VCU let me re-take the Final remotely while on deployment.

Don't sleep on Hibbs.

Yep, Bartender. Came there from the Shockoe Slip Cafe. I worked for Cavallero at the Cafe, and when he opened the Library i worked there for about a year while I finished grad school. Every Thur, Fri, and Sat. primarily at the down stairs bar. Happy Times!

Saw Foghat at the Library or at least I think I did. Kind of a very fuzzy time… hehe.

Thank you for your service!

I recall Iggy Pop on Halloween in the Mosque basement. Another show was J Geils in the main hall. Other shows —-Nona Hendryx, Asleep at the Wheel, Gang of Four, REM and too many Fridays!!
REM got pissed off, they were the opening act.

Remember the Ask-it booth? I used to have a picture.
