I'm guessing about 12-13 years for me.

 

W.R.A.P. in White River Junction, probably 2005. Then it burned down. I lived around the corner and got some good shots of the effort to put the blaze out but the place was gutted within an hour.

Here's a neighboring fire lieutenant afterward.

The Neon Zone, Toronto, 1984

 

The last two were bachelor parties, in '08 in Los Angeles and in '99 in Cleveland. can't recall which clubs.

Actually, may have hit Olympic Gardens in Vegas around 2000, too.

 

Can't remember the last one, must have been the legendary Whiskey A Go Go outside Toronto for a stag night or something...been a while in any event.

Upon further review might have been one night at Solid Gold (my boy Fly might know it) in Sudbury, Ont. Guy I was with was trying to pick up a woman sitting at the bar - if she was a dancer I never saw her on stage - and the bartender pulled me aside and told me she was really a he. I excused my associate before it got too dodgy, to this day he still has no idea why. I will always have that ace up my sleeve.

 

Damn. Missed it.

 

I can't believe it took 16 days for someone to ask this, because it was my very first thought back on 21 DEC.

People don't realize it, but I really am trying to show some restraint around here.

Good job, Buck. I'm proud of you. If I depart this place, I have faith that it will be just as dirty minded as it was when I appeared during the Pennsyltucky mess.
