You know, I was watching the same Bob Newhart special tonight, and I was floored when they said he performed at the Tidelands. I attended Rice as an undergrad in the mid-80's. I think Rice bought the building in early 1984. I moved into the Tidelands in August 1984. It was intended as graduate student housing, but since it wasn't completely full at first, they allowed some undergrads to live there. I also worked in the kitchen as a short-order cook.
You know, friends used to have "Hi Bob" parties, where we would all watch the old Bob Newhart shows, and drink everytime someone on the TV would walk into a room and say "Hi Bob". We never had any idea that Bob Newhart had started his recording career there 25 years earlier.
