49:57 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
This episode is part of a sub-project within Tape Land called “Video Phase 2022”. I recently began transferring a ton of old video tapes to digital, and have been posting selections to YouTube. Here, I’ll be releasing the audio tracks of these videos, as well as linking you to the YouTube videos, and The Internet Archive.
Weasels 89 (2/4/89)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TEr695vOjA
Saturday, February 4, 1989, Frank, Peter, and John driving down Route 46 in Pine Brook, NJ, heading to Drew University in Madison, NJ, The Dramatic Admission of Friendship, Dunkin’ Donuts, arrived at Drew, checking the mailbox, game room, handing out magazines, comedy show, Physics Phil arrives, Tullio confronts Frank about his filming, ping pong, chatting with Ella, Zoning, visiting Bryan in his dorm room, playing a Marvel Superheroes role-playing game, heading out.
I attended Drew for two years, but transferred to NYU in 1987. John was a friend of Peter’s, but I don’t remember him, beyond this video. This was the last (or near the last) time I ever saw Physics Phil. I was able to determine the exact date by finding the comedy show listed in an archive of the student newspaper. I released the middle portion of this in audio on Bluffcosm.com in 2000, as “Ping Pong (Early 1989)”. This is perhaps the earliest piece of media where The Three Weasels (Frank, Peter, and Bryan) appear together (thought there is a short video clip circa September 1986 where Peter and Bryan are hanging out in Frank’s dorm room). –Frank
