Well that was my freshman year, so I was probably holed-up in my dorm in East Halls...
No way I was gonna trek clear across campus just for a concert, no matter who was playing.
Not anytime during January or February anyway. The wind blowing across Parking Lot 80 was brutal.
I bet a couple of the guys made a beer run and we just cranked up our stereos and had some HiWay pizza delivered.
Hey, I did a few terms in Tener Hall myself. That's when we used to have good football teams, remember? There were times when ordering from HiWay Pizza was the only way I could get a girl to come to my dorm!! But of course the male/female ratio was sick back in those days. Things improved immensely upon graduation!! Anyway, also used to order from Les (the Big Les) and Mr. Sandwich (The Cosmo). In truly desperate times, it was the FUB. Parking Lot 80 -- man, I feel cold just thinking about it. You know who was always giving concerts at Penn State in those years was Chicago. Also saw Allman Brothers Band and The Beach Boys there. Geez, 34 years. Even then we thought Joe Paterno was getting old. For the glory.
I left my East Halls dorm, and PSU, the year before.
Parking Lot 80 is no more. It's almost entirely built over. Nothing in my life has ever been as cold as that miserable walk across PL 80.
