The year was 1995.  It was the summer time, Gangsta’s Paradise was topping the charts and snap bracelets had just gone out of style.  After a day of playing basket ball at the park with our high top shoes and low cut shorts, three 11-year-old amigos sat in front of a 12-inch tv screen that was 36-inches deep watching a re-run of Beverly Hills 90210, sippin’ on a cold one (ecto cooler). 

In that particular episode the Peach Pit had just been rebuilt from being burned down and was turned into a new hot spot “Peach Pit After Dark” which the gang was headed to.  Peach Pit After Dark was amazing; Brenda, Brendan, Kelly, Dylan and the rest of the crew were doing their thing, dancing, laughing, having an incredible time.  At that moment, we would have given anything for the chance to be bad with Dylan or the opportunity to lock lips with Kelly.

Right then and there, we devised an airtight plan that would take 15 years to develop but would guarantee us our opportunity to party with Steve Sanders and friends. The plan was to throw a party on the one day that none of the cast members could resist… September 2, 2010.  This of course translates to 9.02.10. 

Unluckily for us, the cast members are now approaching 40 and I am not so sure we would want to hang with them anymore (although admittedly, we did put in an email to Ian Ziering’s manger.  Can you believe he still charges $5000 plus for an appearance? Steve has still got it going on I guess).

Luckily for you guys, we are not ones to let a plan die.  So consider this your first reminder to walk into your bosses office and ask for Friday September 3rd off, because you can let him know that the night before you will partying like its 1995.
