    Freshman here, I just wanted to shout out a big THANK YOU to Keith and Abby. Your advice has been invaluable! Really appreciate all the videos. Can't wait to go back in time and relive the best era ever!

    Finally an 80's cruise video.😀 Can't wait to see you on the cruise. I'll vote for you for Prom Queen if you can talk my wife into going next year. Now I need to figure out who I'm voting for Prom King.

    Another good video. So the 80s cruise website tells you what bands will be on the ship?

    Being Canadian, If I went to a John Hughes theme party. Me and spouse would be lazy and wear parkas from Planes,Trains and Automobiles. Although I see John Hughes directed Weird Science and they had interesting costume ideas in that one

    I can't wait to see the videos for this years cruise and the costumes. I really enjoyed this Podcast and seeing how excited y'all were. I just noticed that you have Sheena Easton's Album, "A Private Heaven" on your wall. I just brought that album on CD at Half Price Books not too long ago.

    I saw two great films that you might be interested in…they are Lori Laughlin films called The New Kids (1985 – Horror film) and Secret Admirer (1985-Screwball Romantic Comedy), both were recommended by The Cobwebs Channel (I watched borh of them in the same day).

    I would firstly like to thank your friend,Bill,for his service,in a SUBMARINE!!
    That is an incredible thing,to serve in an underwater vessel.
    I was having a beer in London,at the Trafalgar Tavern.
    I sat down at a table outside,and immediately noticed a plaque.
    It said “In 1620,at this location,the Dutch inventor Cornelia Drebbel demonstrated the very first submarine.
    He sailed from the Tower to Greenwich.”
    This is a very long distance,most likely foot pedaled,incredible.
    I’ll send a pic of this plaque,I hope you will send it to Bill,he will appreciate it.
    Aww,Nicole,she has energy stored up from the 80’s,like a nuclear reactor reaching critical mass🥰
    I love that bouncing off the wall vibe as much as I love her Devo shirt!
    A serendipitous 80s thing is happening with me right now,although not pop culture-related:
    I am drinking an incredible tea from the 1980s,it is super high octane!
    Tea bags go stale,but this particular type ages incredibly,I was a Junior in high school when this tea was made.
    Speaking of Juniorhood,have fun on your upcoming 80s cruise❤️

    Contempo Casuals – I totally remember it! Nicole reminds me of my friends and me during the 80s. I was high school class of 1983. (But age-wise I should've been '84 – I skipped a grade in elementary school.) So Nicole is right around my age. We're also both from California.
