Chewin The Apple Of Your Eye

This picture is from August 1997. The occasion for the photo was SuperParty '97. Some of you may recall that this particular SuperParty was the one to which all others are compared; it was the grand-daddy of all SuperPartys. The house was jammed so the party spilled on to the street (see). Conservative estimates put the total number of party people in (or around) the house at 200+. Taxis actually left their stands downtown and just sat on the street outside our place. Apparently they, along with the throng of drunken kids, caused a bit of a commotion. Cops were called, pepper was sprayed, feelings were hurt.

The cops actually came prepared for a riot - 6 cars and 2 vans, lights ablaze. They were merciless in their commitment to serving and protecting the citizens of Fredericton (even if we were all citizens of Fredericton - no sour grapes though I swear). Mercifully, I had "retired" for the evening was not involved in the raid. The reason I tell you all this, besides to relive some great, great memories of my youth, is simple. Tonight I was eating some pasta and a drop of Frank's Red Hot skipped off a noodle and got me right in the eye. I can now say, without a doubt, that I know exactly how you poor saps felt when you got pepper sprayed by Fredericton's Finest as SuperParty '98. That shit hurts eh?

You love it.

PS - in searching for an image for Frank's I came across this website for Chiliworld to which I respond - THERE'S A CHILIWORLD?!?!? Can anyone say Road Trip????!

PPS - Happy Birthday Jonny

Hey Si,

I like the Flaming Lips reference and also the pleasant reminder about Super Party. That was one crazy night. Lindsay and I are in India now and the food is very spicy. I don't know if it's Frank's Red Hot Sauce spicy but it's spicy nonetheless. We are in a town called Allepey. Tomorrow we will cruise the backwaters of southern India in a houseboat. Should be sweet.

later,
Geoff
