…and just like that, we go from “class”…to a little bit crass. After weeks of posting historically meaningful post-war photos that were rescued from oblivion, we have a roll of pictures that looks like it was snapped on a three-day college drinkfest that involved a bus, a bar, and what looks like a bunch of people crammed into a hotel room. But this is the nature of “found film.”
These folks are probably all by now respectable, middle-aged folks with kids – probably in their early 40s – but back in 1994 it looks like it was a wild bus ride to wherever this party took place!
They appear to have hung out in this hotel room for a couple of days. Somebody was taking pictures and changed the format for the auto date stamp several times, but thanks to him or her we know when the pictures were taken. Probably since they made the effort to change the format, the date is likely to have been correct.
Other than these folks not being the most discerning beer drinkers, I can’t find a whole lot of clues about where this party trip might have taken place, or where the travelers came from. Unfortunately, they never saw their pictures, but maybe someone will stumble across this blog and recognize mom or dad, who knows? And then mom and dad can thank me for not posting ALL of the pictures from this roll. But I’ve got them if they want them. Ahhh the good old days….
