Remember Showbiz Pizza's Rockafire Explosion? I found really in-depth info on the members of the "band". Showbiz's official write-ups are a bit more reverant than this guy's blog post, if it's not blocked for you. Much funnier, and really easy to relate to. Other than the part about trying to look up Mitzi Mozzarella's skirt, which I don't believe I ever tried to do. Seeing these pictures brought some memories back for sure!
I realize Showbiz has been bought out by Chuck E. Cheese's and that the Rockafire Explosion is no longer together... so hopefully Lucy will have fun tonight when we bring her there for the first time. I was told that I screamed my head off whenever Fatz Geronimo (aka the scary gorilla on keyboards) took the stage. No kidding. So, I dug up some pics from my birthday party in 1987...

Ah I can totally tell which little girl you are :) too cute. I remember that place too!
Just an FYI both of my girls are terrified of Chuckee-Cheese! He is kind of freaky though? Maybe Lucy will not care as much?
Oh... she'll care! Should be interesting! :)
I always found it odd that ShowBiz locations started using the Chuck E. Cheese walkaround costume on the floor while they still had The Rock-afire Explosion on stage. I guess it did make things easier, logistically speaking, to use Chuck rather than Billy Bob on the floor, because then they didn't have to worry about not showing the robot and the costumed character together at the same time. I remember in those days, they always kept the curtains to stage left closed whenever the Billy Bob walkaround character was out on the floor.
