On that day in 1977 - 10 July

Apologies to all my followers (all one of them on Blogger!) for the delay; I got too busy to keep this up on a daily basis, but looking at the entries from mid July in various years, there are way too many doozies - I can't bear to skip them or to wait another fifty weeks!

I left off on the 10th of July and I found another entry for that day worth transcribing. Jade was still staying with me. I am amazed at how many movies I saw in those days, but then you had loads of drive-ins and revival houses, always with double features, and of course no other means to see something on demand! By the way, does anyone remember the name of that drive-in? I could not find a photo of it online!

Marie Drysdale was our friend from high school; Tiger is Steve Tigerman, my boyfriend, and Steven H is Steve Hufsteter; I guess I had just recently started seeing him around with this blonde "vogue" chick; I was easily intimidated in those days!

10 July 1977

So Sunday morning Mom work me up and "two minutes later" it was 9:30. Anyway that day my Bro [Dan Winter] and Bill [Stomp] came over to swim. Jade got upset cause her hair got splashed on and she had just washed it.

So that nite Jade and Marie went to the Rainbow [I didn't write "Rainbow" here; drew a picture of a rainbow] and Tiger and I went to the drive-in. [This would've been the one on Beverly Boulevard.] Rabid was really gross at times; really idiotic, sorta funny. Marilyn Chambers is neat looking. I'm almost positive that Demon [the other feature] was once titled God Told Me To. [And I am indeed correct! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Told_Me_To] It was really weird.

Anyway, I was supposed to pick up Jade and Marie outside the Rainbow at 12:30 am. Of course they weren't there and I had to go and park. [It was so much easier in those days - why am I complaining?!! Then again I was always getting in trouble for coming home too late, even when it wasn't my fault ...] Then I went in, and I saw Steven H. and the blonde going the other way. Upstairs I saw Danny [Shades] and other people, but no Marie and Jade. So I went outside and SH was by the door and I tapped his arm and said hi and he said hello but not too friendly like. So I stood outside cause I didn't want to follow him (i.e., them) but he kept looking back at me! Finally I started walking but I felt dumb following them!

So I asked the guy at the Whisky if he remembered a girl in a white blazer who was built like Barbie. He said no, he would have remembered that! So I decided to give the Rainbow one last chance and I found them going down the stairs. It was now five to one! It took them ten minutes to walk to the car - I had to keep waiting for them to catch up!
