1997 Minneapolis Wash-In in HD

This VHS-Cam video is taken in October 1997, the group is the early pioneers of automaticwasher.org before the internet had take hold. This was our second wash-in the first being held in Boston three months earlier in July '97. The guys arrived in Minneapolis, we had a wash-in that evening and the next day we left to spend two days at the Aberdeen, SD appliance graveyard. Full Aberdeen video is coming next!

An absolute dream come true! I sure hope Robert has a water softener since he lives in Minneapolis.

@JSneaker Nope no need for a water softener here, the city of Minneapolis (and St. Paul as well) softens the water for you before it leaves the central pumping station.

I think I am in love with the guy in the blue shirt and the goatee.He is so sweet the look in eyes you can tell he just adores those machines and for all the right reasons.

I like your washing machines, but I have to say the internet was had take hold in 1997.. Of course, I suppose we had to wait for Windows XP before most people knew how to use it.. In 1997, hipster jack asses were still telling me that email, and the internet was anti-social. To hell with them though, I was voice chatting with people all over EARTH via Yahoo in Win98. Laundry partys are cool to thou bros. SPIN CYCLE!

That's so cool! Nothing like vintage videos to bring back memories and create some new ones. Thanks for posting Robert! And I gotta ask, who is the hottie in the dark blue polo shirt and goatee? lol.
