Might be of interest to some of you guys. A little "after" my time, but I knew people in a bunch of the band on these flyers who had been slogging around the scene a little past their prime. I love that people still design flyers, an just post them on Facebook. I will be attending.

This looks pretty cool. I might try to get there.

I was alive during that time period but it was definitely before my time. Even Medussa's would have been a little too mature for me in that era. I do, or did, look a little like that young kid standing front and center in the first picture

I had a thread on You Weren't There sometime last year.

I was never able to get into the "lifestyle" like musical movements in my youth. I didn't need to dress a certain way just because I liked a song.
