We Went Where?!

Posted on by Nichole S.

I stumbled upon this photo the other day from my freshman year of college.

I’m still laughing.  Before you ask, that’s me in the orange.  Laughing harder.

Keeping in mind that the photo was taken in the early fall of 1989 in Virginia…and that the staggering 9 pair of matching Keds were not mandatory, nor should they be considered a clue…anyone have a guess as to where this group of girls was headed?

I will give you one little hint.  It would soon after become impossible to attend the event that we attended ever again.  Another hint….while the first hint may sound tragic…it certainly is not.  In fact, most of us are a tad bit embarrassed that we went in the first place.

And…still laughing.   If you have a guess, please comment.  I’ll comment with the answer this evening.  I’m sure you’ll all be on the edge of your seats.

    1. New Kids on the Block. Good one. I think that nails it. Or 80/20 NKOTB/Benatar.

      “most of us are a tad bit embarrassed that we went in the first place” really locks up NKOTB. What could be more embarrassing than NKOTB unless you all went to “Teletubbies on Ice.”

      Tinky Winky says “Eh-oh!”‘

      Wait! 1989! I change all my bets and put all my coin on Milli Vanilli.

      That or some disco band. Sheesh, 1989 was such a nadir of music it has to be a concert but so much to choose from.

  9. October 5, 1989 – The Dalai Lama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. You’re all going to a Dalai Lama Nobel Peace Prize Celebration party.

    Pat Benatar “Best Shots” concert. Kenny G? Phil Collins?

    I’m going with the Pat Benatar concert.

  10. Dare I say worse, worse, worse and worse! All excellent guesses, but none are quite embarrassing enough. What have I done 😉 The Dalai Lama Nobel Peace Prize ceremony? That would have been excellent!

  11. “It would soon after become impossible to attend the event that we attended ever again.” I should read more carefully.

    Definitely Milli Vanilli. Everyone else existed in 1990. Milli Vanilli never really existed but after the fall of 1989 they did not sell too many concert tickets.

  16. Winner, winner Chicken Dinner! That’s right, Paul Morrison! Alas, sad but true, we were off to see Milli Vanilli! I can’t say “hear” Milli Vanilli, because that would be impossible as it turns out that in addition to being incredibly lame…they also were busted for lip synching and not even being the true voices behind their music. Ahhhh….college!!

  17. Craig! I can’t stop laughing! Yes, indeed, you are correct too! Let the record state, that while I clearly had a temporary lapse of judgement in my taste of music….there is NO hairspray in that hair!!!

  18. Paul simply went all “scientific” on that ass and just googled the most grossing tours of 1989…I see you Paul. So you must share that damn chicken dinner with me!
    And, as far as no hairspray goes…hmmmm, ok maybe not you, but the if someone lit a a joint in that car on the way, that puppy would have gone up in a second! (or would it be the Benetton perfume that would simultaneously combust?)

  19. That chicken pot pie is all mine I blew you out of the water by 15 minutes Craig! And while I did wiki when Benatar and Kenny G were touring I reread the post and the “embarrassed” and, “could not go ever again”, the Milli Vanilli light bulb went off.

    I trade you some chicken for some drone footage with a Rubber Duck hanging below the undercarriage taking a tour of Gloucester. You know you wanna. Nichole is going to hold the peas, oh so yummy.

    Droppin’ the needle on Milli and eatin’ the victory chicken! Watch my lips! It’s real chicken! Girl you know it’s true!

      1. Waiver? RD doesn’t need a waiver. I just need to run her through the Maplewood carwash after you’ve been fondling her like last time. It took a #3 special with undercarriage hot rinse to bring her shine back then. I also want line of site the entire time just like the FAA requires.
