Flyer for a 2 night spree - Overnight party, then a Battle of the Bands at the Cuckoo's Nest. After the party I drank a 5th of Lord Calvert, got molested, then spent 16 hours in a bathtub with alcohol poisoning. The Mechanics played as a power trio the next night while I was in cosmoland. Aah, youth! :-)
