Tragic Kingdom is STILL such a good album to me… this is dope!

She was SUPER friendly, gracious, and down to earth. She invited us to a big family bbq the following weekend and we went; she remembered us and was totally cool there too. We played soccer with her boyfriend, the lead singer from Bush... can't remember his name

He asked us if we wanted to hang out with No Doubt during sound check and it took like half a second to say "uh YESSSS!"

I'm impressed. Not ironically and not giving you shit. That's rad!

Just_Another_AI@reddit (OP)

Thx! I totally thought so back then, then had totally forgotten about it over the years until I dug up those pics when I moved a few months ago. Memories

Look, it's pretty obvious you were the coolest kids in school.

Like maybe not the most popular, but the chill stoners everyone liked.

Is the dude on the far left the guy from Office Space?

Just_Another_AI@reddit (OP)

Ha. That's my brother, but now that you mention it, there is a resemblance

Another side comment. I feel like I met you all during a Christian beach summer camp. Or versions of you. Dudes at Christian beach summer camp looked like this in the 90s

Just_Another_AI@reddit (OP)

Hahaha definitely not... must have been lookalikes
