Brown University 30th Reunion - Still Alive and Kicking

Mon, 05/31/2010 - 10:56am — decibel.places

The Brown University class of 1980 returned to campus on Memorial Day weekend 2010 for 3 days of parties, events, parties and more parties. I took an interminable Greyhound bus from NYC - scheduled for 4 hours, but took 6. Then I hopped the (new since 1980) trolley bus to College Hill.

Festivities kicked off at the Alumni Cocktail Party on Friday evening, where I reunited with Mike Guzy, Nate Flynn, Barbara Weiss, Rick Brissendon, Betsy Berg, Jonathan Schwartz.

Then the Campus Dance where I found Kris Solberg, whom I had not seen since a Halloween party at MillHouse. I stopped by the table for the class of '50 and congratulated them. They asked, "For what?" and I told them, "For being here - I'm only halfway there!"

Brown University 30th Reunion - Still Crazy After All These Years

Thu, 05/27/2010 - 7:56am — decibel.places

I'm going back to Providence for the first time since the mid 80s when I was a guest lecturer in sound engineering at the MacColl Studio for Electronic Music (I nearly completed a music degree along with Anthropology/Archeology with Honors, and Classics).

Just this week a few people asked me how old I am (including a client, who seemed to be weighing whether he could get away with paying me less than I billed, or risk being boycotted by AARP). I am saying, well, I have a 30th Reunion this weekend but I graduated when I was 6 years old...

I scanned the attendance list for old pals and gals - and Jonathan P. Schwartz will be there, who has a great video studio in Boston, Interlock Media. A special shout out to Michael Guzy and Kristen Solberg too! But my dear old friends Gabriel and Lezlie are in Panama raising 3 beautiful boys.

I remember the 1980 Campus Dance, I helped Michael Levy back to his room after he had a bit too much to drink... the next day he did not remember how he got there - alas, he's not on the list this year. It should be fun, nostalgic, and yes, I'm buying a tshirt.
