For a similar experience for bbq, highly recommend South Moon BBQ on 30 in downtown Hinkley, who has the rest of the kitsch memorabilia in the area. The food is pretty tasty and their arcade has a good variety!

It'd be surreal to go back to that high school and eat pizza, I guess I know what I'm doing at some point!

Eating pizza in the glow of cyan lights. One of the coolest thing about cyan lights is magenta shadows.

I love the notion of a school's best players being on the soccer team. A few reasons why:

* I've never been a huge fan of football, not to disrespect the sport, but mainly because it intrudes on the baseball season, which I'm more passionate about.

* The issue of violence and head injuries in football raises concerns.

* Why does football get the focus of the school's attention? Giving other fall sports attention is great! Maybe girls tennis. Or cross country, golf (scratch that), girls swimming, or girls volleyball.

* With soccer being the international sport, it makes perfect sense to feature it as the homecoming game. I wonder if other countries have similar homecoming traditions and if they celebrate soccer in the same way we do.

* There's a certain honesty in admitting that the school isn't proficient in football. Embracing the sport where the school truly excels, such as soccer, not only showcases the talent of the students but also fosters a sense of pride in their achievements.

That place looks so cool! I am surprised to see the pizza cut into triangles, though.
