Participant[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Afx: The hot spot for the “intelligentsia” when I was in high school was the Bijou Theater in downtown Palo Alto (right down the road from Stanford University). It showed art house films and offered these great political and social discussions featuring Djarum smoking, Benetton clad, BMW and Benz driving bougie white kids discussing the evils of capitalism and how to “fight the power”.
I don’t think it dawned on any of them that they were the very power they were planning on fighting.

That was what?
1963?[/quote]Dan: That was the year JFK was shot, right? So, yeah, I think so.
Actually, it was around 1982 – 1983. Bijou closed in 1985. Don’t be a hater, man. You were hanging out in downtown Mountain View back then, weren’t you? Over by Colonel Lee’s Mongolian BBQ? Had your Ramones shirt on and driving your big brother’s VW Microbus?

Okay, I am from the north bay.
I say San Francisco because if I say I am from an area where people freely wear a hammer-and-sickle next to their confederate flag sticker on their bumper, it makes their heads explode.For those of you who don’t know, the far north of this state is where a lot of hippie types moved after the whole Haight-ashbury thing started winding down.
The results were mixed.
Generally, if somebody has a hippie name, it means their parents are hippies and they are shit-kicking hicks. Nothing is lamer than explaining that you got beat up by a black toothed illiterate named “Harvest” who drives an old chevy with a gun rack (and who worships crystals).Further, there is no easy way to explain to somebody that being gay really excludes them from wearing a swastika on their jacket.
I have been to birthday parties as a teenager where booze and red meat were not allowed but mom was baking pot brownies.
The usual associations are all fucked up if you are not from there. EG: the point at which I realized my old coffee shop had become a major exchange and meeting point for people making investments in marijuana ventures. Or, perhaps the point at which I realized the most dangerous gangsters were the ones who wear rasta hats and keep .45’s tucked under their flannel.
Its kind of like “The Wire” and Nirvana and Appalachia had a very confused child.
Still…I do miss it.
