i think i was 19 going on 20 and jinx was 17 going on 18. this was taken before we were actually together. the girl on the left (gina) was the same gina from the tour thread. it was her house i was at attending a party when i saw jinx for the first time and wondered what dating her would be like. I remember that day pretty well. jinx and i were flirting, although we were both dating other people. i was dating Jen (not pictured...or present, i think) and she was dating Dale. ( you should ask jinx about our prom date arrangement) We 'got together' at the end of that summer while attending the Schwenksville Folk Festival, on my 20th birthday. I guess that makes it 1990, not 89.
as for the dark spot......i had a pair of shorts that had blown out, and i had patched with a velvet Swan Song emblem. Jinx thinks those are the shorts. like this, but without the 'led zeppelin' across the top
