What a great post.

I was lucky enough to have the attic through high school. It even had its own bathroom. Maybe about 500 sq. ft. When you got to the top of the stairs my bed and the bathroom were to the left and bookshelves to the right. Go around the bookshelves and there was a couch and a round table, t.v. but most importantly a stereo and four speakers. JVC SK-303s for your quadraphonic pleasure. I had the classic 1200 turntable, a JVC amp, some equalizer and about 800 albums. Lots of drugs were smoked at that table and lots and lots of music listened to.

The one movie I remember watching in there was Eddy Murphy's Raw. Interrupted by a fake knife fight for like 20 minutes with my buddy who went on to a very successful career as a pro athlete and is now dead.

One of the albums I remember was Charlotte the Harlot. Very clearly remember getting that on release day. Also repeatedly tried to get my Mom to like Pink Floyd by playing her Dark Side of the Moon. Lost my virginity in that room as well. Good memories.

edit: The 2 major posters in the room were this music poster over the couch and something like this one of when Hendrix performed at the Isle of Wight. And I think the third was this one of Zappa.
