As new Floridians and new AP holders (but not, we hope, passholes) the other half and I have been visiting about once a week. The other we day we were getting on the Nemo ride and the CM quietly asked me if I'd like her to slow the ride down until I got on because I'm using a cane for now. She did it so graciously no one else noticed. I wish I had caught her name. But thanks, it makes a difference.
Are there really SG t-shirts? I also heard that there is a "what time is the 3 o'clock parade" t-shirt. True?
Also the first time I won in a head to head (or ankle to ankle) with a stroller.

Official SGT ADD thread
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

I'd say 99% of the audience for the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert in Chicago was at least twenty years younger than I am, which I didn't really expect. I figured it'd skew younger, but not by THAT much.
I did expect to hear "One Winged Angel," although it wasn't listed -- it was the encore. :) The electric guitar was not missed, even though I miss it on the YouTube orchestral version. Also finally got a name to go with this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssGdJNe2PHE
I keep writing it down to search for it and maybe I'll remember it. I never had the remotest idea who did my favorite songs on the radio; once MTV came along I could finally go looking for them because the name was right there in the corner.
Yes, the DJs said the song's name, but of course by then I was thinking about something else, so I always missed it.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Simon & Garfunkel, Long Beach Arena, 1970. So much dope being smoked I'm surprised I *can* remember it.hobie16 wrote:I still remember my first concert. 1964, Cow Palace, Beatles.

Before that (and since) I was into musical theater. Saw "Man of La Mancha" in 1967 with Richard Kiley pre-Broadway at the brand spankin' new, not yet finished, Los Angeles Music Center. No, the old one, before the Disney Hall.
