I have not really shared this story before, but now seems like niether the time, nor place for such bragarasto.
Anyhoo, I was over at the University of StoneyBrook Radio Station. 90.1 WUSB FM , where my brother had a regular show.
I was 14 at the time, and to his credit, he did take me places with him, and not brush me off…
I do not remembrer how it all unfolded, but the important part was,
I was playing handball with Eric in a hallway, and every so often, we would pause so Eric could attend to a computer in a seperate room from the radio station.
Here is where my Bragging Rights shine through:
I was standing side by side with Eric, and when he asked if we should go to the Treasury Dept. or something else, and gave me NASA as a choice, well, we went to the nasa site.
I basically was hacking with Emanuelle Goldstien at 14 years old, Bitches!
I saw Eric a long time after, at a 2600 City Center meet up, if you know what that is.
He recognized me, said hello, and gave me a free blue box shirt.
Thank you Eric for being a total gentleman!
I am now a lifetime member of the 2600 Magazine, and urge all who see this to also subscribe.
