TWC is now as old as me pretty much. :P   Martin is right though that next year will be a much bigger deal.

Of course. Next year they'll be 30. I'm pretty sure they're gonna party big time, probably bigger than what they did when they celebrated their 25 years.

I hope so. They didn't do much on the 25th. I really liked the 20th special. I hope they do something similar for the 30th.

Just like everything else TWC hypes up, I'm very sure there's going to be a huge celebration next year. There was on May 2, 2002 (20 years) and May 2, 2007 (25 years.)

But happy birthday TWC!  B)

Is there a video of what happened on their 20th anniversary in 2002?

I hate I missed that 20th anniversary special, it seemed like it would have been interesting to watch.
