-tickets to see sid & nancy at the spectrum theatre (thanks, WRPI, local college radio)
-tickets to see the toasters in albany, but they wouldn't let me and my "sister" in due to us being 3 months underage. grrrrrr. so we took shedloads of speed, drove to manchester, vt. and started a band instead. which was probably better in the long run than seeing a ska band...
