I remember the Roxy! Do you remember they would occasionally switch to certain music, then just lots of guys would run into each other’s shoulders in the “mosh pit? What was that dancing called? It seems so dumb now.

Does anyone remember The Library in Georgetown? It was open when I was a freshman in '89.

Haha, yes. We must have been classmates. Remember Kazzi and MJ from the Cross?

Herpes Triangle: Mister Days, Sign of the Whale, Rumors, Rally in the Alley.

And, Republic Gardens, State if the Union, Bar Nun.

Garrett’s, 3rd Edition, and The Bayou.

The old New Vegas Lounge in the 90s for chill low key nights hanging out with the old timers, old timers who knew something about the blues.

The Channel Inn, I was on the younger side of patrons, but I loved the music and live bands. Real old school DC. Great people watching.

What I remember best about that time was the variety. it all was there all something for everyone, like a big buffet and you could move from one scene to another so easily, not much traffic at night and free street parking was plentiful. Nothing going on in Adams Morgan, no problem swing over to U St or G-town, or Herpes Triangle, or F street, or the Wharf.

And it was so affordable; cheap drinks, 2 for 1 HHs, and free food.
It was a great time to be young, broke, just out of college and just starting out.

I had a lot of stupid fun back then and no camera phones to capture any of it. So much freedom to let loose, roam around the city and blow off steam.
