Entire Italy tour group (except for JJ, who was taking the shot).

Where Were You When?

Where were you when the 451st played Orchestra Hall in 1977? I think I was celebrating my tenth birthday by seeing Star Wars for the 20th time. But I know of at least 5 current band members who were probably performing at this concert. Any guesses? :)

Fish has provided some great pictures, including some must-sees from France. And don't forget our favorite pageant contestant, miscellaneous.

Thanks to Claire for the pictures.

Donna was over-hauling the truck's brake system and missed this shot.

Which to believe, Mapquest or the sign? We should have picked the sign.
