The theme "Groovin' for the Grevy's Zebra" led to the band Groove Thang, which led to the '70s in all their glory: mood rings and lava lamps, bell-bottoms and hot pants. Warhol colors spattered the Zoo grounds, and the only place taste counted was the food: the Brady Bunch Lunch of grilled cheese with tomato-soup shooters, the Hawkeye chipped beef martini at the 4077 M*A*S*Hed-potato bar. Snorts of nostalgia ceased just long enough to bid on the Kenya safari ... a chance to see the zoo's conservation efforts for the Grevy's zebras firsthand.
