In my day it was called the Agora.

That became the Newport. I’ve seen tons of concerts there. They used to have DJ dance parties on Friday nights. In 1985 they held a viewing party for OSU @ Michigan showing the game on a great big screen. I made out with some hot chick from Steeb Hall. Or was it Smith? I can’t remember. I was living in Baker. I hoped more would come of it. Nothing ever did. And Michigan won 27-17. I really wish that night had worked out differently.

Man, you saw M*ch*gan beat OSU? You MUST be old.

What was life like in the Depression?
Was the Civil War as bad as the books say?

I was in Ann Arbor in 2003 for the 100th playing of The Game to witness Tressel’s only loss to Michigan. I’ve actually only been to the Big Hole twice and OSU lost both times. I’m never going back.

Also, college football is a northern invention that came after the Civil War, partly because after the war they realized that physical fitness was a good thing. Before that the attitude was that educated people weren’t supposed to be brutes. That was for simple laborers. I often wonder if/when the slave states would’ve adopted the game of football if they had won their war of secession. And, like it or not, we have Michigan to thank for introducing the sport to the Midwest.

My first apartment was just a block up 9th Ave. it’s not there anymore either. But the South Berg used to have a great lunch special where you could get a sub, chips, and soda for just a few bucks. And they made a good sub.

I spent more nights there than I could count. Monday nights when Local Color played used to be the big night. Then Dave Katz started hosting an open mic night on Wenesdays, John Mullins joined in (RIP John), and soon Ekoostik Hookah was born. Then Wednesdays were the big night. I was there to witness all of that evolution. I saw some other Ohio jam bands there like Oroboros out of Cleveland and the River Runt Spookfloaters out of Cincinnati. They did a good cover of Steely Dan’s Josie.

Met some girls there. Shot pool. Smoked pot in the restroom or at the top of the back stairs. I can’t remember who was playing on Friday, June 17, 1994, but I saw the white Bronco carrying OJ Simpson getting chased by the cops on the tv monitor in the bar. I didn’t really understand the magnitude of the story until I got home. Heck, I wasn’t even living on campus anymore at that point. I was living off Bethel Rd. and working at CompuServe. I wonder who that band was. I suppose it had to be Hookah.

Ah the memories. Sitting in my apartment off 18th ave watching the OJ chase, Compuserve, and Hookah...
