I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid growing up just outside of Cleveland, block parties ranked up there with Christmas and your birthday. To get sick right before one was a crime against nature. My block went all out for it. Every family on the street got involved– with a different game in each front yard, enough food to feed our block AND the next (all homemade of course!), the big bike parade lead by a police car, music…. and since it was the 80’s…. hired break dancers who taught us to moon dance and more. Yup. I swear.
(I’m not in the video, but my bike with training wheels made an appearance… ridden by my friend Matt in the foreground.)
I need a time machine, stat!
Poor Weird Kid. It always seems right before something your excited about you get sick. Well maybe Z&F will sneak him back some treats from the party.
Huh. Never even heard of block parties. Except for the Bloc de Quebecois. but that’s more of a political party. lol
My sympathy to the kid.
aww, that’s sad to hear…. if you never experienced a good block party as a kid, you didn’t fully experience childhood!
okay, I’m exaggerating… but they were a ton of fun.
I’m sure if those same guys in the clip tried break dancing now, they wouldn’t get the same results… just aching joints that would last for a month!
ahahaha, yeah I’m sure! But I’d still pay to see it.
