I used to live in Arizona from 85-87.  One night a few friends and myself decided to go bowling.  We pulled up to the alley and there were trucks, light towers and people everywhere (turns out they were filming a movie).  They had the road in front barricaded and we had to wait until they finished filming a scene out in front.  After the all-clear we were allowed inside.  While we were bowling the director went on the PA system, telling eveyone to act natural, not look at the cameras and have fun.  The night proceeded, and I decided to play some video games in the arcade.  While playing a kid came up and asked if he could play against me next game.  I  agreed, and found out he was in the movie.  I asked him what it was about, he replied "It's about two guys who go back in time in order to complete a school project".  I STILL remember thinking, "wow, what a stupid idea".  We stumbled into the filming of  "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure".

One of the greatest things that ever happened to me happened when I was 9 year old.  My brother and I went with my mom and dad to Honest Ed's on Bloor street because Mr T was making a personal appearance there and we got to meet him and shake his hand and we had copies of his book Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool for him to autograph.  The only disappointing things that happened there were that I got caught in crush of people trying to get into the store and he only thing he had time to write in our copies of his book were MT.  But still it was a pretty exciting day.  :)

I see one lie here...I think you wrote "Borderline" by yourself.

-I was in a talent show and won second place in the dance category. I still have my trophy.
-Went to Europe-Greece but also took a short trip to Germany. Took a cruise around the Mediterranean-went to Egypt & Israel.

ba-da-bum-ching!

  Meeting General Hospital star Emma Samms (she went on to Dynasty, which I feel was the defining TV show of the decade - she was on GH in the 90s and later in this Millennium). I told her GH was off the air in Dayton, OH and she didn't know about it! (GH was off the air there for 17 years!) :)

  Seeing Wayne Gretzky play hockey in 1989

  The 1987 World Figure Skating Championships here in Cincinnati (I went to the World Choir Games last month)

  Seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark at a movie theater on the Fourth of July weekend in 1981
