as I mentioned before, most of the neighbourhood ended up at one of the neighbour's houses that had a color TV, a quite big one at that! I remember laying on the floor along with much of the rest of the neighbour kids. this was Boulder Colorado, and it was a BIG DEAL there. we had NOAA, NCARR, National Institute of Standards, BALL Aerospace, and the University actually had more aero research etc than the Air Force Academy which was just down the road.

the color TV obviously was a complete loss, but it turned into a cocktail party for the adults and the kids were free to run around and play kick the can until probably 2. I believe it was a Saturday
