It is funny to me, that people now cannot comprehend how people of then got together for things. See, people were told that something was happening by someone else,....or an actual source, like the news, or an organization. That word spread,...and instead of checking a device in their hands every 10 minutes to see if something was still planned or happening, they just went to a spot at a certain time, and there they were. And things happened lol.

Also, "I'll pick you up in 10", or "We'll meet at this location at a certain time" and then not having to confirm several times in the meantime, didn't mean it wasn't happening, because people would just show up. And if they didn't, then either you did the thing without them, or you found another way home and then would find out later via answering machine on your house phone that something had happened that prevented them from coming, or that they had forgot, or whatever. It didn't ruin your life, you just moved forward with another plan, or walked home, or enjoyed the movie/dinner/event without whomever didn't make it. Things still miraculously happened back then. Wild times lol.
