three hours of MTV from 1983

Phoenix Comicon reminded me of the cons I went to when I was a kid, and reminded me of what cons could be -- and should be -- when they're run by people who care more about creating a good time for fans, than figuring out ways to separate fans from their money.

I'll have a full trip report later today, but until then, I have found something HAWESOME to pass the time, or at least listen to in the background while you work. Three hours of MTV, recorded on VHS in 1983, including wonderfully cheedy commercials. I've been listening to part one for about thirty minutes, and the nostalgia is starting to overwhelm me.

Part one:

Part two:

Generation X! Rejoice, while the damn kids today wonder why MTV is actually playing music videos.
