My wife has a friend from nearby Beulah, North Dakota who I plan on giving one of the DVDs to for her birthday. I don’t know if she was at the Zip to Zap party or not but I’m sure she will enjoy getting it.

Peace Out Cousin!

John

I was attending Dickinson State College at the time in North Dakota. I was with 5 other girls at the time. But we were outnumbered at 100 to 1 (most likely higher than that) by the guys. I still have my orange T-shirt which on it is written – Zip to Zap. My car had flowers on it at the time and my mother wrote to me (from Los Angeles) that car that looked like mine was on the TV news there. The beer did flow, not much hard stuff and no drugs that I saw. A wild time by all. We got out when the National Guard started to come in hours before dawn. Sorry we didn’t have the phone cameras like they do today, have no pictures but a lot of memories of that night. It was suppose to happen on Saturday but everyone showed up the night before and you couldn’t get into Zap by late Friday. I don’t think that number is right, it was much lower than 3000. I remember when we got back to Dickinson State that I got stopped by the police twice because of having a car with California plates, never showed my college ID more than on Sunday. They had closed off the state Friday night with the national guard. It was one wild memmory to have.

Using the @ symbol before someone’s Twitter username is how people have “conversations” in Twitter. This makes their usernane a link to their profile so other people can follow the conversation (sort of). For example if you wrote “@mvolpe70 thanks for the cool blog article about Twitter today” that would be a way of telling me you liked this article. Try it out. Its not IM (instant messaging), but it is sort of like a public broadcast IM service.
