House of Large Sizes

They had these giant I.P.S.(Iowa Public Service) power line spools for tables at Stebs.  HOLS would open for The Dig Mandrakes and the bar would furnish cotton on the tables if it was too loud for you.  Bed mattresses around roof support beams prevented injuries during slam night !  This was the first girl I ever saw in a rock band - so, she was like "super cool" to everyone that watched a gig.  Plus, House had their our tunes - and were just damn good !  Then, it was on to The Stein for a pizza slice at 1:55am . . . Drinking age was 19 . . . All was great in the world, no cares - no money.
