Jon Glassett Opens a Time Capsule

April 13, 2007 · Comments

My best friend from high school, Jon Glassett, sent along these photos from my high school graduation year:

My Birthday
Age 18- Holy Cow

Battle of the Bands: Age 17
Battle of the Bands

Most of the Old Gang

(Missing from the photo is Jeff Kody. Not sure why. He was always with us.)

Thanks, Jon. This blew me away. Totally. Like a late birthday present.

For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

    Chris is bring'n sexy back!!!

    The Bart Simpson buttons in pic 1 are awesome!!!!!

  • LEMills
    Oh, someone please photoshop in PodCamp logo for one of those buttons. (I almost read one as Feedburner!)

    Loved the whole concept of these pix, until I remembered where I was in the 80s, which for me was a whole generation after the high-school years. (I think I successfully avoided any and all mullets!)

    Off to find the paisley and tie-dyed cottons, the bead-embroidered jeans jacket, and the guitar,

    I am dying to know what the buttons said under the leatha.

    These are *so* fun.
  • Sue
    You are a brave, brave man.

    My high school photos are long buried, along with my stirrup pants, high cut sneakers and "Thriller" album.
  • Those were truly awesome.
  • You have to love the brown leather jacket.

    It's like a black leather jacket only more individual, yet not quite as showbiz as the red Michael Jackson/Eddie Murphy leather jacket.

    I, at one time, had a brown leather jacket.
  • almost ten, thank you very much!!! :)
  • HOLY SHIT! Chris, you're such an 80s heart throb!!! Muy sexy...
  • Awesome, simply awesome.
  • Jon
    julien - It was the Metallica, Megadeth and Iron Maiden that made us do it.
  • Yeah, but Julien, that was what? 3 or 4 years ago?

    :-)
  • Dude! That's AWESOME! I'm sure I'll laugh at myself when I look through my high school pictures from 2016-2020. :)
  • Still working the mic after all these years....
  • why was everyone trying to look badass at the age of 18? i was totally the same.
  • lol - nice to see that your 'stash finally filled in.

    And yeah, they look like great 80's pictures
  • Jon
