I'm with FF67, those spoiler smileys just make me laugh every single time! I have to click on them multiple times just for the chuckle, no matter what they're hiding!

^^^Darn, I wish there were some pics from 92 in there

reminds me of Easter.... they have it on a different date every year!

what's up with that? (as far as both Easter and the Chineese New Year go?)

I never understood how sometimes Easter is in March and sometimes it's the end of April/beginning/middle... you name it

oh wow I didn't realize you click on them and it reveals something the other day when I was playing with it... I was actually wondering what the point/big deal about it was... haha

As far as Easter goes, that was determined by the same group of jokers in 325 AD, the Roman emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicea, who determined that Christianity would be the empire's religion (sorry Arians, Meletians and Jews!); Jesus was actually divine; what books of the Bible were and weren't legitimate; and a whole bunch of other dogma. In their brilliance, they decided that the date of Easter was the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. Doesn't sound pagan at all now, does it?

☆★ I miss those Oakland Chinese New Year shows in the 80s & 90s...some of my funniest as well as weirdest memories
Thanks!

Me too, Chinese new years was my never miss, get you through the winter shows. I remember Bill Graham would have volleyball games on the floor before the show, east coast VS west coast. East coast always won.

The streets of Chinatown in NYC would be lined with with paper from firecrackers.

It looked like snow it was so deep.

And that wasn't in just one spot, it was literally up and down the street.
