The 5oz Foodie

I love taking trips down memory lane with friends and you find out, even though you haven't know each other that long, a lot of the memories of shows you watched when you were younger were the same shows they watched as well... Like for example me and B both grew up watching reruns of the Monkees... Davy, Mickey, Peter and Mike are one of my favorite bands of all time as well as members of my favorite TV show... Their music was a huge part of my teenage years, despite the fact that their music was popular 20 years before that time... My friends and I loved listening to their music and watching their shows...

When I text my friend in Cali she replied back with how weird it was that we were just talking about him last week, and as I look back that wasn't the only time I spoke of him last week. I was so looking forward to seeing him at the Flower Power Concert series in May, but that time will not come. I spent the afternoon watching videos about the Monkees and reading about him online. The photo I have added above is from his Flower Power Concert Series performance at Epcot on 2008, my 1st Flow...
