Obnoxious screaming and bad camera work are in ample supply. This apparently occurred during FrightFest (you can hear the music in the back).

Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh How did our eyes get so red? And what the hell is on Joey’s head? This is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we ever went without The second floor is hard for sneakin' out This is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I broke in twice I must’ve done it half a dozen times I wonder if it's too late Should I go back and try to graduate Life's better now than it was back then If I was them, I wouldn’t let me in Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say It's time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say It's time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Remember the old arcade Blew every dollar that we ever made The cops hated us hangin' out They say somebody went and burned it down We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we'd know We said someday we’d find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel Kim's the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She’s had a couple of kids since then I haven’t seen her since God knows when I miss that town I miss their faces You can't erase You can't replace it I miss it now I can’t believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it If I could relive those days I know the one thing that would never change Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Every time I do it makes me... videos Mark 2006-07-04T10:57:16+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/003831.shtml My Astroworld Videos from 1980 are now available on DVD for $20. First class USPS Priority Mail shipping is already included. The video is full-screen, without the ASTROWORLD.CC subtitle, and includes the full Crystal Palace ''Hey There Good Times'' show plus my videos of the Park Entrance, Astroway, Wagon Wheel, and Der Fender Bender. Please note that I'll be out of town from 5/26 through 6/11. What this means is simply if you purchase a DVD after 5/25 then it (obviously) won't ship until 6/12.... home Mark 2006-05-14T20:27:06+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/000984.shtml I've got one last video featuring the entryway to the park and a few lingering moments spent by Greezed Lightning. I uploaded by recent podcast which featured a look at the sad condition of the park plus a bit of video from the aforementioned entryway. More to come, of course! Hello to all of the Crystal Palace performers who've come to check out the site. I will be making my copy of the show available at-cost on DVD soon. Check back for my next update on that.... home Mark 2006-05-02T16:43:15+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/000979.shtml Get this video and more at MySpace.com This podcast primarily covers my visit to Astroworld in mid-April 2006. Technically I'm standing in an empty dirt field. I include some shots from the Astroway video in the introduction. There is a bit of my Back to the Future 4 parody in the middle of this along with a visit to my old house and elementary school which was only a mile or so away from Astroworld. I end the video by covering the a Tears for Fears song which fades into some video taken by the park gates in 1980 which I have not posted before. Enjoy!... videos Mark 2006-05-01T15:19:00+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/000971.shtml The Astroworld Crystal Palace Saloon players featuring their 1980 live show called ''Hey There Good Times.''... videos Mark 2006-04-20T00:19:31+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/000970.shtml The Wagon Wheel debuted when Astroworld opened in 1968 and apparently made it all the way to the bitter end. The WW was a Chance Trabant ride -- check out this site which has other examples of this model which originally debuted in 1963. In this short clip, the ride operator gives us intructions and then lets us make a made dash for an open seat. I usually ended up being the one getting squished on this ride.... videos Mark 2006-04-20T00:17:55+00:00 http://ASTROWORLD.cc/000969.shtml The AstroWay ride going from the Oriental section of the park to the Alpine Valley.
