[VF21]

I am sooooo old.

It's 80s night and their entertainment is some rap star and a weird-looking guy with really long braids, bling and lots of Kings beads? And they're actually devoting a lot of camera time to them? I guess they must be somebody.

 

[VF21]

Rob Bass? And the Sacramento Kings dance team - wearing, in case anyone is interested, pretty conservative outfits. Long pants, t-shirts that aren't cut in half, etc.

Okay, I'm out for a wood break. Back for the second half.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Indeed... I'm in the chat room with Freak and she's telling me about this halftime show; I'm still trying to figure out how she knows from Rob Base when Base stopped being relevant in the rap game before she was born...
