    kinda funny but the article is dated 2003 and the writer is speaking of Utah. Are you sure the writer is talking about the '74 Gathering? Chrystal Kitchen is the only 'Kosher' kitchen and far as we know, the brother that runs Chrystal first hit Gatherings in '96 (least that's when we met him)

    well the fact that he refers to Jerry being already dead and buried in the third paragraph would have to put it later than '95 now wouldn't it?

    Nope, doesn't matter when..... it's just plain old funny. {black and white photography can add a vintage mystique to just about anything though :) }

    He never mentions the year. In the first paragraph he mentions the year that the first gathering happened (1972) but no more years are mentioned after that. The was prteey good, especially that part about singing itsy-bitsy spider.
