Saturday, October 13, 1990

We head off to 7-11 for some vital supplies, and I take a time out to reminisce about just how much that particular 7-11 meant to my friends and I back then. You'll also catch a glimpse of a couple of old school arcade games and a cool Movie Standee...

Oh, and I take the piss out of the New Kids on the Block. Man, I couldn't stand them... The Backstreet Boys of my day.

See if you can catch how much Big Gulps went for back then!

Music during the narrated bit:

"Funkman" and "Fatty Dance" by Zaranyzerak. Available on the album "Re-MODULIZED" available on CD from amazon and mp3 from my website: www.zaranyzerak.com

Hello

What was your motivation for doing these "vlog" type videos when you were younger when you didnt have websites like youtube and such to share them on?

Anyway, thanks for the content and keep up the good work ZaranyZerak!

[Zaranyzerak]

@SmellyZSalady They weren't vlogs, they're segments from video letters to distant friends. (Notice the title at the beginning)

[leightonhs]

amazing...you actually got a 7-11 on footage...INSIDE! :D legend.

[Zaranyzerak]

@leightonhs Yeah, that's something that wouldn't fly today, that's for sure!

[Tuneman1984]

Nice choice of background song on the pause! :D

[Zaranyzerak]

@Tuneman1984 Hehehe...seemed like it had the right kinda vibe for this era. Plus it was composed only about 2 years after this footage. :)
