We were at the Barnes & Noble at 92nd & Sheridan last night, and up in front where they sell reduced-price books, they had a lot of copies of a video called "Great Moments of World Cup" for a very reasonable $3.98. It has some film from games dating back to before the 60s and a pretty thorough introduction to the U.S.'s 1994 team. The video was made in 1993. The production is terrible, and the background music is frankly painful to endure, but there is a lot of worthwhile footage. Some really nice mullets too---Meola, Chris Henderson, et al. Chungy looks about 16, but at least he didn't have a mullet : ) Any of you folks who go to the kickaround on Sundays can ask Matt to borrow our copy if you think the $3.98 is too steep!
92nd and Sheridan's right near where the Sunday pcikup games are right? Hint hint people who are in the pickup thing.
They had at least a dozen copies on the 14th. I don't imagine they've exactly been selling like hotcakes.
Re: Re: Re: Time capsule---cheap! I haven't heard the tape, but chili's description last week cracked me up -- "cheesy 80's Casio style". Go into Toys-R-Us, find a cheap Casio keyboard, and push the "Demo" button. It's a genre unto itself.
Yep, Matt was dead-on with his Casio comparison. However, Matt is not chilistrider. Chilistrider is me, Matt's wife. He reads the BS boards pretty frequently, but he posts so irregularly that he has never bothered to sign up for his own account. But if you ever want to tell the difference, he never uses caps when he posts.
Ah... sorry for the confusion. I'll keep that in mind, though, so that I know if I see a grammatically-challenged message it's Matt and not Mrs. Matt.
