In 1984, I was still in college. It was before the internet
as you know it. It was the dawn of personal computers. The 3.5 floppy was born.
Dell and Cisco was founded. MS-DOS 3.0 was
released.
The point of this walk through the cobwebs? The buzz around
movies coming out was very limited and sometimes misleading. My friends and I thought
Streets of Fire was a sequel to The Warriors. While disappointed it wasn’t a
sequel, we thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Michael Pare, the star of 'Streets' was at Frightmare. He was
very engaging and took over the whole process. At the last minute, another of
my autograph buddies gave me a sound track cover from the movie. How could I pass on that?
Once I handed over the album cover to sign, he stood and
told we were taking a photo. Another friend took the photo of us. As we posed, he never stopped talking. I mentioned
the enjoying Streets and went to see it because of Walter Hill and Warriors. Then
he took the conversation from Hill to Warriors to Michael Beck and said the two
of them did a TV series called Houston Knights.
It was a great experience.
Later that night, I was hanging out with other friends. I waited
with them as they went through Michael’s line.
That friend brought up cooking. Michael Pare had attended the CIA
(Culinary Institute of America - did you think I meant that other CIA?). They talked restaurants, cooking, and how any
ways to prepare an egg.
Again a great experience.
