Okay....it's 20 years ago. A Saturday night, October 1986. Where would you be right now?

Marie3....in going through some old pictures, I found a picture of the artist guy in the background of a picture I took at Thrush around 1986 or so. How weird is that?

How funny!
I would love to see some of those pictures. I get a kick out of seeing the old hairstyles and club clothes.

I remember one Halloween at SPIT some dudes pulled up in the Ghostbusters-mobile and had the full movie props too. As I recall, they lost the costume contest to Playboy-esque looking girl walking a nerd around on a leash. There were about 20 Adam Ants that night!

Raserx....As inventive and elaborate as the Ghostbusters team was, the hot chick in a playboy outfit is always going to get my vote too!!!

<br>I really only knew who I hung out with. Tommy, Mike and Anita, the twins, the sisters-amy and cindy from brooklyn, laura, lucky, susi, maria....most everyone else I knew by sight or nicknames. Everyone had a black mc jacket and combat boots but me. I had long hair and had a trench coat. Very lost boys.

Spit, Malibu, Reds, Bebop, & The Meadowbrook & Aldo's Hideaway in NJ.
I also remember a Malibu Halloween Party w/ someone dressed as "Tawana Brawley" ..
Quick Malibu Memory: - There was a time they had a "no sneakers" policy, & bouncers at the door turning away those w/sneakers .... I had on sneakers, & my friends were wearing shoes with black socks. In the parking lot I said to one of my friends, "Give me your socks", & I proceeded to put his black socks right "over" my sneakers!
From a slight distance at night, they actually looked like the coolest shoes on the line! Everyone was amazed at how "good" it looked! Got in no problem, .. & took off the socks once inside ....

i cant beleive how many of you went to these same clubs and even know each other and other club people.
sounds like alot of fun was had.

well im 34 and i still get made up duran style and want to go out, but here in oklahoma city theres just nowhere to go.

Hi newwavepop. Most of us on this thread are (or were from) Long Island, NY. The club scene here was great in the 80's. Looks like you guys would have fit in fine with us back in the day

by **newwavepop** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 5:51 am

wow yeah NY would have been great im sure, its my girlfriends dream place still.

by **club80** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 1:26 pm

During the 80's, not only did NYC have great clubs, but Long Island did too

And Northern New Jersey .. The whole "WLIR" area was alive with a great club scene in the 80's!... My friends & I could be found anywhere from NJ to Long Island or Manhattan, depending on what "night of the week" it was!

by **club80** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 12:12 am

No doubt...WLIR's influence was huge

Sorry, the twins were girls. Missy and someone else.
