What were you doing in 1993?


Recommended Posts

I was 22 and had just gotten out of the Navy in September of 1993.  I was living with my parents and I'm pretty sure I was working as a driver for a shuttle service (driving people to the airport, etc.).

Drinking Zima and looking for a date to the winter dance.

 

If you really wanted a date, you should have grabbed a beer, offered the Zima to the girl you wanted to ask and told her you'd throw in a splash of grenadine, if she'd say 'yes'. 😉 :beer:

I’m actually wearing a structure shirt today. I have no idea where it came from but it fits

 

What is going on here? I was wearing a Structure shirt Saturday evening (true story). 😃

Before Structure I worked at a Chess King, lol!  Lmk if any gems from that classy joint show up in your wardrobe!!

 

Then I discovered the restaurant industry is where the money and the chicks were. Never worked retail again.

 

Haha! Small world. Chess King was my go to place in the mid '80s and then it was Structure in the '90s until a buddy of mine and I walked in one day, looked around, and he said to me, "Dude, what happened? We're like 5 years too old for this place now." 😂

That happens to all of us at some point at our first bar, I think.
 

I was 18 and praying the Bills could make it to the SB since it was where I lived.

I had been a season ticket holder for 10 years, hoping they could win the big one. Alas, they couldn't. But back then, you could take a thermos into the game. That made thing so much better. So here we are, 27 years later, and I still have season tickets and still hoping to see the Bills win the big one.

I was an unemployed grown-up who came out to shovel snow at RWS before the AFC Championship game against KC, so I could justify buying a ticket. Ralph gave every shoveler their pay and a FREE ticket.

Freshman year of UB.

 

I puked on a table at the Subway across from the Metro Rail on Main one night after PJ Bottoms.  I was definitely “that guy” for a while.

 

Live & learn! (and don’t order a meatball bomber on a belly full of Golden Anniversary!)

 

 

Ah yes those were fun times.  I was in College too & we pretty much drank until we puked.  I remember my dad had early flight with his friends to Miami for the bills game one Saturday morning.  He asked me to drive him to the airport earlier that week.  Here it is 4:30 in the morning my dad is all excited to go on his trip he asked if I was ready to take him and here I am dry heaving on the front porch.  I looked at him & said "yeah dad why don't you give me a minute."

Cheering for the Bills to make it 4 in a row

 

Going to a game or two at the Ralph in my winter beater 1978 Impala :)

 

Cruising in my 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA until late November when I parked it until April :(

That was a BIG year for us, a before & after kind of year. Married with 2 young boys and moved from Hilton Head, SC to Sarasota FL where my wife had what appeared to be a great job offer.

 

We moved away 10 years ago, and my current goal in life is to get back there at least part of the year sometime down the road. Our first house there was within walking distance to the original Gecko’s sports bar, which came in very handy to follow the Bills until I got a dish!

I was playing Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.  Those days really do feel like a lifetime ago now

Same! thinking how cool the Dark world was when i found it. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. :).

 

94 was a harder year for me, As i had no clue why the Bills weren't playing in the Superbowl. It was a regular occurrence for me up to that point. I couldn't process it. lol

In 1993 I was training for the 94 Nationals.  During the same time I met a woman that I would propose to and marry 25 years later in 2018.

 

Dang, you really wanted to be sure, huh?

Working my first job out of school working for ABC News. Living in Manhattan when I wasn't out on the road with Peter Jennings. Fun times. 

 

Don’t see many Peter Jennings name-drops these days 😂

My earliest memories of the news are "This is World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" and Desert Storm coverage.

 

1993 I was born as a Bills fan (comeback game).  Probably spent most of my time playing Super Nintendo, racing toys down the creek at a friend's house, and organizing my sports cards - HUGE into the Dream Team.
