I want to add one more thing. The first time i experienced PLUR was in 93. I took a friend (Duane)to a house party. Don't know if any of you remember this. But this guy use to have a house in Castro Valley that every one thought was going to slide down the side of the cliff, teehee, and he would throw parties there all the time. Well i think the house is still there. Anyways. He ran into a guy that he use to go to highschool with (Ian). Ian came up to him and said "I thought you where an asshole in high school. But you know what? Your pretty cool". That was PLUR. and i am damn proud that i was a part of that. --- Solomon Eisenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think I'm gonna cry... > > Yup...I'm crying... > > right on!
