Growing up in Astoria, I get a kick out of the excitement people have for the whole Goonie thing! I guess I’ve taken it for granted a bit, having lived here and being here when the movie was filmed.
I had to share the story of when I was in high school, I ended up meeting the cast, Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen and others, with some friends of mine. So, the whole time they were here, we all hung out together.

Well, Rodger Archibald of the Rubberband, started quoting lines from Goonie’s and his impersonations of the characters was hysterical. So, from music to the Goonies for an hour’s show was funny.
They found the ‘Bunny Suicide’ joke books in the studio and had a good time with that too, so the interview was just a unique experience that was very down to earth and fun.

Before the interview was over, we decided to have a contest at the concert that night. We decided to name it the "RYAN SHUPE & THE RUBBERBAND, ROCK’EM, SOCK’EM, ROBOT TOUR, TRUFFLE SHUFFLE CONTEST” If you’ve seen the Goonie’s then you know about ‘Chunk’ and the Truffle Shuffle. It’s when you lift your shirt, grab all of the excess belly you can and shake it up and down… very funny! That night we held the contest. 7 people got on stage and did the ‘truffle shuffle’ The crowd chose the winner, who got a signed CD from the Band. Wow. It was something else! We have such GREAT sports in EAGLE COUNTRY!!

I went to lunch with them earlier in the day and had a great lunch at THE BAKED ALASKA . Ryan’s wife was there with Ryan’s little girl, who is a doll and looks JUST like daddy.
After the show, we had more great food and service at the SCHOONER’s Twelfth St. Bistro, right next to the Liberty.
We Had another great show, with another great group of talented, fun people. RYAN SHUPE & THE RUBBERBAND! I hope they come back, they were a blast!
