Let's pretend we're 1996.

I was fighting with my brother over the phone line. The modem used the same line, so if he was on, I couldn’t receive or make calls. I can still feel the frustration of going to school and finding out someone was trying to reach me the night before.

The two lines per household had already arrived. How else were you going to be on that cordless phone with your BFF for hours each night talking about Larlo?

The IM chimes of the opening and closing doors will live in my memory forever. Along with the You’ve Got Mail voice.

True story.

Why does this guy keep messaging me on AOL instant messenger thinking I am his ex wife? Our screen names differ by one letter and he was such an arse I had to change my screen name to something different.

I entered high school in 1996. I don’t think Columbine had happened yet. And didn’t have an email address yet either. I used my dad’s fax machine to send notes to my friend’s dad’s fax machine.

I got tickets! It was so easy. I just called on my landline and ordered. No waiting room, no bots, no reseller scams.

On the day of the concert, we’ll buy bottles of clear Gatorade, pour it out, and replace it with vodka. We’ll strut right on into RFK—a bunch of 16 years olds—holding those bottles high, no questions asked.

Those were the days. No clear concert bags or security checks. No cell phones. No life360. My parents would drop me and my friends off at the metro in the AM and I’d spend the entire day at the festival without any way for them to contact me. Basking in the sun, 16yr old me flirting with college guys, and running all around RFK until nighttime. Total bliss.

Yes! Sounds like we were in the same friend group.

Mid to late 90s were such a great time to be a Yankees fan. Conie’s perfect game!
