Everyone knows what July 8th is…none other than Kevin Bacon’s birthday. So what better way to celebrate one of America’s national treasure than to play Kevin Bacon movie trivia.
Full disclaimer, this BB is now 6 weeks late and the video of who was there is, well, gone. I do remember Trike, Liverpool and me there, but none of the other 20ish in attendance. So, if you were there (or wished you were there), please let me know and I’ll amend the entry. Now on to the show!
