don’t be like this dude
Beginning in 1984 and off and on, up to 2016, I made a series of audio recordings, first with a boom box cassette recorder, then with a telephone answering machine, then with a mini-DV camera, and finally, with an iPhone. For most of that time I was drunk. Theme song: ”Whoa Dude, Whoa” by Gregory Pepper

I got a test in my heat transfer class tomorrow. Everyone is going out for “trick-or-drinking.” I could study, but sitting in my room with a bad beer making scary noises (in stereo!) sounds better.
Beginning in 1984 and off and on, up to 2016, (from age 21 to age 53) I made a series of audio recordings, first with a boom box cassette recorder, then with a telephone answering machine, then with a mini-DV camera, and finally, with an iPhone.
For most of that time I was drunk.
