Armadillo Reunion

It's been a while since I posted in this blog... A couple of days ago I posted this picture on Facebook:

Armadillos was a bar I worked at most of the late 90's - my favorite job ever - I lived upstairs in the building next door - the bar was an extended living room. It was my home before I lived upstairs - it's the reason I still live in the Lower Haight today. I tagged people in the photo until I ran out of tags - then tagged more in the comments. The response was amazing! Tons of cool/funny stories. Everyone asking about people they've lost touch with.  Other people commenting, whom I had completely lost touch with. A walk down foggy memory lane. From what we can remember.

So I started a Facebook Group, and now we're all utilizing it to find or inquire about people from the days of Armadillos. Or share stupid/classic/unforgettable events from those days. Some people posted great photos, some invited more people either from before my time, or maybe I just didn't remember because they weren't "regulars," and others just filled out details on stories already told. All of us reminisced about people who have passed away, bands that broke up, raging parties we've had, and others who have simply disappeared. I hope we find them ALL. It's always a surprise to find someone who was a "bestie" back in the day, but you've either lost touch with or they've moved away.

It's often said the best friends you'll make in life are usually found in your 30's. So true. I love every one of these people like family, better than family. If you're in this group and know someone who has a) either dropped off the face of the earth, or b) had a facebook account, but deleted it - implore them to reconnect. It's so worth it.

I'm pretty excited about this group, and as soon as it feels a little more fleshed out, I'm going to propose a Reunion Party at Molotovs on a night when handsome Nick is working. We will take that place over!

That is all for now. kloveyabye!

Frank.
