81 Drummers House

[Ted Stalnecker]

How many of you remember the drummer & Syracause House? Many stories there... Dose anyone have any pictures from those nights that are hard to remember :)

I lived in the very small center room at the top of the stairs for a while. I thought all of the quads lived in the basement.

I lived in the drum house in Teaneck.

off the record, well, I may have stayed in the room downstairs to the right, but I can't say for sure...I was too busy trying not to trip over all the debris on the floor, and all the bodies that seemed to appear out of nowhere..lol

If I am not mistaken, Merle's roof-bound exploits took place on the night of my college graduation party at the house. I remember being upset because, by the time I got there, most of the refreshments were gone.

I remember that night after your graduation party. OK, I remember parts of that night, and those parts include you and I and Rob being chased by the Teaneck police across several yards with no clothes. That was the 2nd event that involved streaking, or just casual nudity for the sake of freedom and such. The 1st was 1980 at Wind Gap, Pa. but I don't know anything about that. The 4th was while driving Son-Of-BlimpHouse to Miami in '83 (it was hot, and I needed a reason to stay awake) I encouraged all other drivers within CB range to remove all their clothes as well. The 3rd (saved for last) and final streak has something to do with a large truck tire in a field at Sevierville, Tn and dancing, but I certainly know nothing about this.

if you knew something about
what you know nothing about
then you would know something about nothing.

I told you that after you picked your color, you were supposed to let it go. Didn't you listen to Doc Santo? Pick color...let go of color. Pretty simple, don't you think? The other 127 of us seemed to figure it out. Now we all have to live with the consequences.

[Patrick Zampetti]

Never convicted...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Law Enforcement Officer: What are you kids doing here in the back of this school at such a late hour?

Drum Sergeant: Practicing our drum parts sir.

Law Enforcement Officer: Very well, carry on.

Drum Sergeant: Yes sir, Officer, we certainly do, er, will.

[Dane DuFour]

Law Enforcement Officer in Montreal just outside Stadium: Why are you walking with a glass beer bottle, we have laws against that?

Dane: I don't speak Canadian.

Law Enforcement Officer: (smiled as he took the rest of the 6 pack of Molson)

OMG, Poppa Ted, do I remember the drummer house! and your car and Rush at the Meadowlands, scary the memories a name brings back! Hope all is well, these forums are fun!!

[Angelo Lopresti]

I was not in the 81 drummers house, but remember crazy times at the hotel (forgot name) off of the GSP near the toll. We stayed there during camp weekend.People slept in tub and on the floor. Does any one recall the name of the hotel?

[Ted Stalnecker]

Angelo - That would have been the Howard Johnson or the Ho Jo. Yes it was quite amazing we actually made it to rehearsal on Saturday and Sunday before noon. going to breakfest in the diner before pratice. Boy what the current members are missing out on
