"It's A Restaurant Whose Time Has Returned"
I'd never heard of this seafood restaurant in Memphis. Not sure where it was or when it was in business. Apparently Boston Sea Party was a chain of all-you-can-eat seafood buffet restaurants that started some time after the 1976 Bicentennial. Looks like there's was one location in Atlanta that still has its website up, even though it closed a few years ago: www.realpages.com/sites/bostonseaparty/page2.html.
That quote and the seafood buffet concept seems to be based on a letter someone found describing a big seafood feast some Boston Tea Party participants enjoyed after the Party.
Here's a 1982 TV commercial: www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=3052
Location: Dumpster on Lisgar Street, near Bank.
January 2010
In November 1987 a Chicago's PBS television station had its broadcast signal hijacked for about a minute and a half (another broadcast intrusion occurred a few hours earlier during a local news broadcast on another channel, but was brief and without audio). The hijacker wore a Max Headroom mask, spoofing the 80s icon and the popular New Coke commercials that the character featured in at the time. The hijack occurred during a broadcast of Doctor Who, which resulted in it being widely recorded by the show's cult fanbase.
Most of what the hijacker said seems pretty random and silly at first inspection, but with a little analysis and context (the hijack is rife with 1980s pop culture references) one could conclude that simple mischief was not the hijacker's only goal, and there is some attempt at social commentary.
Neither the hijacker nor any accomplices were ever caught.
This piece is a simple trace over a still of the video clip (which can be found on FuzzyMemories.TV), with colour and additional details added in later.
New Years Eve 07 - dancing, bonfire, sea and champagne (The state of the photo pretty much sums it up.)
