Vixen will be on at 3 sharp, so get there early.
Man, I can't believe 20 years have passed. I feel old now but we did have some fun. What do kids do these days?
Yes, it is almost heartbeaking to think back on the fun of the late 70s/ early 80s...we lived for going out at night, usually starting on Thursday night, and would jump between clubs to find the "hot" place. Since there was no internet, we would listen to the club report on the radio to find out which band was playing at what club.
Maybe it was just because of our age at that time, but it seemed that Long Island had a vibrance then, it just doesn't seem to be there now.
I often wonder as you do, what the kids today are doing? Maybe they're just staying home and playing Guitar Hero and WoW. They'll probably never know what it is like to be part of a frenzied crowd yelling "disco sucks!"
