    I believe you are thinking of Afterglow.

    On a serious note, I would love to see a revival of the following:

    - Common consent
    - Missionary farewells (with the whole family participating)
    - Financial disclosure
    - Road shows
    - Jubalee year celebrations (with forgiveness of back tithing)
    - Unique chapels instead of cookie cutter buildings
    - revival of revelation

      I also saw Christopher Cross, and enjoyed the company and evening quite a bit.
      That wasn't in the early 80's was it. I saw some guy alone playing his acoustic guitar back then and he was famous.

      I also know it was Air Supply not Airglow or glowworm or whatever.

        More road shows, dance festivals, or other costume opportunities for gay LDS to feel included.
        Fun youth conferences wherein wealthier stakes could dominate by doing way cooler things than neighboring, less affluent stakes (water skiing at Lake Arrowhead for a week, rent trains to san diego, etc)
        Paradigm of Early morning seminary teacher as ultimate spiritual authority on all matters
        Impromptu group renderings of "Come Come Ye Saints" whenever someone in the ward is feeling down about something
        Re-mystification of the Eastern world as a barometer for fulfillment of prophesy (before Christ can come, prophets have to lie dead in the streets for a few days in Jerusalem, Russia has to be opened to the Gospel, Berlin Wall has to come down, etc....we dont have as many of those bogeymen anymore. I miss them)

          Everyone I hang out with says the same thing. To this point I haven't liked drinking liquid bread.

          So far I've had Vodka, G&T, and a couple of local beers. I'm such a noob. I feel like the guy in Call of Duty jumping up and down in place throwing grenades.

            We have an investigator in our ward that was set for baptism. She was totally excited. Then she got the WoW lesson and couldn't reconcile why coffee was bad and not allowed. She still meets with the missionaries but is not very interested in joining anymore. Maybe she needs another lesson on obedience

              I think you'd enjoy attending HPG.

                  That hits too close to home. When I first started playing, my brothers would repeatedly jump up and down on cars luring me in for the kill. I would shoot a few times, of course always missing, and then they would take one shot and I'd be down.
                  Not much has changed, because now my son does pretty much the same thing with me...

                  The taste for beer will come, until one day you will finally get it. I have a partner at work that says for him, beer tastes good at the very first drink, and wine takes a few swallows before you hit that 'great taste'. With certain beers, I've found his opinion spot on.

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                    Welcome...what beers are you drinking? Beer is delicious. When I was in HS drinking natty light, beer wasn't very good.

                          Thanks. I need all the help I can get. The boardmails have been flying in like the turtles of Capestrano since my little revelation.

                            You typically don't drink as many calories of wine as beer drinkers do. Rarely does somebody drink a six pack of wine. Yes both have high sugar quantities though some grapes seem to produce a low residual sugar content and hence are lower in calories.

                              That's funny. Always makes me laugh how quickly new apostates take up drinking.
