In college there were times when it was hard to make ends meet. During the summer we had many lazy days when we had nothing better to do than donate our blood plasma at Sera-Tec for 25 bucks.When you reasoned it out, it wasn't a bad deal. 25 bucks could get you a long way with that great State College exchange rate.
One day I tagged along with Rocket for the full Sera-Tec experience. At that point Rocket had become a Sera-Tec regular and he took me under his wing. Just a little pinch and your blood was drained and the plasma extracted via some kind of centrifuge. In the meantime you were able to lay back and enjoy a movie. That day's feature was E.T. and Rocket provided the running directors commentary complete with alien impersonations. When I look back I realize this was one my most surreal memories of college. Selling my blood plasma while watching E.T. with my 37 year old fraternity brother. Definetly worth the memory.

i partook in Sera-Tec several times as well. One fond memory involves the rocket leaving his kids to us to babysit while he went to Sera-Tec to get money for food.
