We're taking this week off at the Plain View for a little retooling. But I have a special feature to take the place of the regular show.

After graduating from K-State back in '89, I took off for England. There I found work at a hotel pub, the Dog and Bear.

Meanwhile, back in the states, my li'l brudder was still at school and still at the ol' fraternity house. Always ahead of his time, brother, with crappy old tape recorder in hand, led me on what is now called a "sound seeing tour" around Acacia house.

I recently stumbled upon this tape as I was cleaning out the stuff under my bed. I immediately recognized its value and transferred it to digital to make it available to the world.

I've divided this cast into four parts. Part 1 is a tour of the various sights and personalities around Acacia in the fall of 1989. Part 2 is brief musical tribute to my trip abroad. I've edited it down so as not to get sued. Part 3 is a brief trip home for dinner and a chat with an old friend. Finally, Part 4 brings us back to Acacia.

The audio quality in part one is pretty bad. Sounds like a loose mic wire or something, but parts of it are difficult to listen too. It gets better after that. I've edited out all (or most?) of the naughty words. Sorry if I missed any.

So step into the wayback machine, and experience my college years.

I'll try to get the photos up this week.
