Summer of '84

[Whut]

Where were you? That's me, on the right, cliff jumping at the temple of Poseidon in southern Greece.

 

[hatedheretic]

[boydster]

I was taking my first steps and getting ready for my big 1-year-old birthday bash

 

[SharonaZamboni]

Just graduated high school and enjoying the last few months of age 17. That was probably the most fun year of my life. So far.

 

[wailingguitar]

15 yrs old, living in Michigan, taking driver's training and goofing with my friends. Went with parents to Tennessee for a week then to Brooklyn, NY for a week. Visiting family both times.

1984 I was stationed in what used to be West Germany.
Regards, GF.

 

[Homercidal]

Middle of High Skool. Probably reading fantasy series like Dragonlance, LOTR, Shanarra, etc. and dreaming about girls. Nerds weren't appreciated properly back then.

Still in the womb...

 

[AnOldUR]

31 years old. Had a one year old son and a seven year old daughter.

I'm guessing I was at work.

3-4 months old and crappin' my pants.

[motobrewer]

I was inside my mommy for most of it.

I was nine. Likely trading baseball cards, looking forward to Doc Gooden pitching his next start. Pretty sure I was really into a game called Crossbows and Catapults right around that time.

I was 11. I loved Crossbows and Catapults.

I would have been playing Little League baseball, with my dad as the coach, in the summer of '84.

 

[Araknaphob1c]

I was still 5 years away from even being thought of

 

[Halbrust]

Southern California, turning 10YO.
Had my birthday at Chuck E Cheeses that year I think.

Met my wife that summer. Drank a ton of Old Milwaukee. Living in a trailer alone (2 roomates had just joined the Marines, I would follow soon).

One of my friends had a camcorder so we'd drink beer and make music videos (MTV was hot at that time). Guitar = tennis racket, microphone = crutch, drum = lampshade, and keyboard = desk. BTW, I'm the shirtless one with the white disposable pants. Laugh away, I know I do.

LOVE IT!

I wish I had a camcorder back in '84. I probably would have done the same thing..,.

 

[jafo28]

I turned 11 on the first day of that summer, living in Wyoming at the time. Little did I know 6 months later i'd be living in NJ, lucky me.

You owe me an afternoon of work. I have been looking for Crossbows and Catapults online to see if I can get it for my kid for this Christmas.

probably.

 

[feinbera]

Just turned four.

Legos were the sh*t.

I would bum a half-sip of the old man's heineken every once in a while. Stuff tasted like ass, was sure I'd end up like my mom and only ever drink wine.

Shows how much little four-year-old me knew, but, on the other hand, all the DIY tinkering and building various brewing equipment is one of my favorite parts of this hobby, so, I suppose I was spot-on about the legos...

I looked about a year ago.
WAY too expensive!!!

I'm seeing that. It's like $200 for a set.
