The OT symposia in the US were so often held on the week of July 4 that I assume it was true in 1985 also.
July 4 was a Thursday, so I also assume the event gathered (at the bar) in Monterey on Monday night July 1, and the space was opened on Tuesday morning July 2. Anyone know? For fun, and a portrait of the times, July 4, 1985 was also when Springsteen played Wembley. https://youtu.be/2Epn-TJSqIM Jeff On Jun 3, 2015 10:05 AM, "Martin Grimshaw via OSList" < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks > > Great response, many thanks and I love the ensuing conversation.
