The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

Juke Box Favorites & Special Announcement

Bachman-Turner Overdrive (well, Randy Bachman and C.F. Turner) and Styx will appear at the Sturgis Road Show. I will keep an eye open for Biker Bob Robert and Mayor Gray!

In related news, the juke box has gotten into my head and therefore I announce: a 340 style blowout on Friday, July 1, 2011 after work till whenever at my home in Harrisburg. Everyone is invited but RSVP's are appreciated. I have two lovely young damsels next door whom I hope to talk into a companion 4th of July event at their place where we do share a backyard which in any case will have the fence down. I will have a half barrel but, as is customary, BYOB & munchies is appreciated. There is a sub shop with beer just down the street so there should be no problem. All are welcome to spend the night but there is only one couch.

The party will commemorate the end of an era - July 1 being the last day I hope to ever need to work in my life. Understanding I live 46.4 miles from the 340 Club itself I do not expect a deluge but I will be seeking any interested 340 Clubbers, ZSBAL members, class of 69ers, City Hall workers, Knorr's, O'Neill's, New Fox Ridge neighbors, SABRites, and Marauders
