For nearly five years these walls were purple.

To the left, me, playing the songs.
To the right, transmissions received?
How many is too many? Trick question.
The party was to be a rockin' rock n roll dance party. During the mulling stage I played some nice old ska songs from the 60s, then a touch of pop, then some heavy hip hop, and then the rock n roll. If you take a close look at the playlist it's not hard to find the point where the rock theme was abandoned or the point where it was returned to.Harry and Radcliffe, "History"

I still remember vividly the 33 Gold housewarming party, Conference weekend October 2004. Rebecca was in town, Karisa was just back from her trip to Italy, B Swiss was the new guy, I think I could even tell back then that I was living in what would one day be my NYC Good Ol' Days.

Search and Destroy. Epic. Also, Jimmy James, a personal favorite.
My hope is that we all continue to live the future "good ol days" for the rest of our lives and we never have a period when the good old days is all we have left, nothing current. Good luck in your future apartment good old days.
Wow...I hardly recognize the place without it's purple walls! That apartment reminds me of great times in NYC. Now that 2 Gold is defunct too, I must say RIP Gold street.
Awwwh, I have a picture of the first sleepover in that apartment, before the furniture arrived. We all slept on the carpet in the living room. The walls weren't purple yet. Memories...
