I was in Seattle, feverishly waiting for the next Sonic Youth album to come out, holding onto my ticket to see them play at Union Station with Screaming Trees and Mudhoney, featuring my college chum Steve on guitar, opening for them. Ironic, because I'd turned 21 and they played nothing but All Ages shows from then on, but the last year I'd missed the Sister show at the Central Tavern a month before my birthday!
