My favorite MCIS memory will always be standing in line at Tower Records on Clark shortly before the midnight release. I was with my late husband and our almost two year old son (he was in his pajamas) and I remember it being windy and cold so I went back to sit in the car with my son. We had luckily found parking right in front so I was able to see everyone waiting patiently in line. As my husband walked back to the car after purchasing the hefty double cd, I could see the excitement on his face as he exclaimed, “ I got you a T-shirt!” We drove home and I remember not getting much sleep that night because I had to listen to the album in its entirety, I also remember the beautiful artwork that filled the liner notes and lyrics. Now I know we might not have got the “parent of the year” award for taking a toddler out in the middle of the night but to this day I have no regrets. I must’ve listened to that album at least a million times in the past 25 years and it never gets old. My son went on to become a musician and holds SP near and dear to his heart, we speak of that night often and how crazy he thought we were for taking him.
