My former roommate/current co-worker and I struggled to remember that one. I could only remember that I always thought it sounded like the name of gay bar and that the only reason I went there was b/c they never checked my ID (and I was 18/19.)
One of my favorite memories in that building involved seeing the Mad Caddies and heading for cover in the basement w/ them when tornado sirens went off. Their album at the time? "Duck and Cover" Kind of funny explaining what was going on to a group of guys from California  | | | |
