Throwback Mountain Dew. Cardboard promotional piece for limited edition throwback Mountain Dew bottles, except on plastic bottles (instead of green glass), so it really doesn't count. :-)

Yay for capitalism! Supporting sugared drinks by stocking up on the Throwback line. (Don't worry, there's more Dew in the basement already...)
I think this was one of my birthdays, so it was taken about thirty years ago.
With my girlfriend at the time Lynn.
It's hard to believe that I had that haircut before I joined the Army.
In a 1966 article entitled “Texture” for Mountain States Architecture magazine, DeGrazia said, “When a man is creating a building or a painting it must be–first and last–a thing of beauty with good proportions and harmony. These qualifications are things of the spirit, of the soul, and of the mind.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
The design on the left was what they used when Throwback was first released in 2009. The design on the right is the current design, which is also the design Pepsi used back in the 80s.
Check out the evolution of the Vernon E. White Building for our June 26, 2014 Throwback Thursday photo. The color photo was taken June 25. The black-and-white is from sometime in 1964, during construction of VEW with Lloyd Spaulding, PCC's first president, looking on. Spaulding resigned from what was known then as Pitt Technical Institute in August 1964 to take a position in Atlanta, Ga. VEW opened its doors to students a month later.
DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
