Picture four 19 year old girls taking a road trip from Northern California to San Diego for an Oingo Boingo concert and then busting up the courage to stay and extra night to cross the border in to Tijuana to go clubbing and dancing all night. That was me, my friend Sandra Robles, and a couple other crazy girls I can't remember. First of all, I can't believe we were gutsy enough to make the trip over without any protection. Second, we had the most kick ass time. Funny part was I looked like a dork out their dancing with my punker moves and a neck brace on from a car accident the week before. I loved Oingo Boingo. No Halloween party was complete without playing "Dead Man's Party".
The Oingo Boingo song that still brings a huge smile to my face and makes me sing along is "we close our eyes". Give it a listen - see if you can stop yourself from smiling.

Oingo Boingo - We Close our Eyes Lyrics:
We close our eyes
We close our eyes and dream
and the world has turned
around again
When everybody is running in the big race
And having a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow
Who am I?
I looked Death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And he simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time
Chorus:
We close our eyes and the world
has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream
and another year has come
and gone
We close our eyes and the world
has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream ...
And if you come to me
And if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear
Who am I?
And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
We might start falling
If we don't try to hard
We might start falling in love
(Chorus)
We're on the healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That could never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
To make the seconds count
Then we can close our eyes
(chorus)
We close our eyes and the world
has turned around again
