yoda76I SKIPPED SCHOOL TO SEE SKID ROW

Okay so here’s a naughty story to tell. But it’s one of those that never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Back in 1990 when I was 16 I was so very into Skid Row. And they were going to play a gig at the Hordern Pavillion of which I was a proud ticket holder.
Now, the show was on a Friday night so my cousin, her boyfriend and I decided to wag school for the day and hang out in the city, maybe try and find the band at their hotel room.
I lied to my parents and told them I was going to school but was going to go to my sister’s workplace straight after school and we would head into the show after that. Lucky I have a sister who was never nasty enough to dob me in.
Anyways, there were the 3 (me, cousin and her boyfriend) of us were hanging out in Hyde Park in Sydney soaking in the sun when we noticed a bunch of kids on a school excursion.
Kind of squinting trying to focus in on the kids I thought to myself “you know, that uniform looks like ours…..HOLY CRAP it is our school uniform”.
My eyes quickly darted around trying to work out what the hell was going on I spotted my Society & Culture teacher Mr Grey and then I remembered he was taking the Year 8 kids out on an excursion. Damn it. Why didn’t I listen when he said which day he was doing that.
You know when all of your senses are suddenly switched on and you have a thousand thoughts running through your head, yeah that was me at that point.
I couldn’t get caught. Because that would mean I would miss the show that evening and I was not going to let that happen. The three of us realised we couldn’t just make a run for it because that would bring attention to ourselves.
