You know you’re an old-timer from San Diego when…

[Hobie]

Or when Miramar Road was 2 lanes and no retail or furniture stores! Ridden it many times on my bicycle to go fishing at Miramar Lake.

When Miramar Rd didn’t turn into La Jolla Village – you had to go onto Westgate Mall to get to Genessee.

Heck – when Genesee didn’t go north of Appleton in Clairemont – and the only way into UC was Regents Rd – Genesee hadn’t crossed San Clemente Canyon. (Genessee extended to UC in mid 60’s – and north to UTC in mid-late 60’s)

Red Tape @ Winters (best by far). Iguana’s in Tijuana, also a great venue. Saw NIN there. I remember, every week; Metro(MON), Piranha(SUN), EC(THURS), Winters(SAT), damn I miss those days…….

The London Opera House. Most of one TV news station used to go there after work. Pretty good live bands.

[quote=UCGal][quote=SD Realtor]UCGAL how bout going to see the Beat Farmers at the Bachanal?[/quote]
Yep.
Country Dick actually came to a party at my house in college (mid 80’s). A friend was dating him.

When I moved to Bellingham in 1990 I was pleasantly surprised to discover they played Vancouver a LOT.

I agree, RIP Dan McClain

Actually the Bachanal was a great place to see music… X, Blasters, Nina Hagen, Los Lobos, Bad Radio (Eddy Vedder’s band before Pearl Jam)…[/quote]

Yeah it was. Also the scene of a rather unfortunate bet with a friend of mine. I really thought he was screwing with me when he claimed the construction in the back corner would become a sushi bar. $100 was real money to me back then.

Wow I was a bouncer @ the Bachanal in the 80’s and played football at SDSU … Oh my cant post the really good stuff ever! But ended up with expanding to doing private security for all the band that came thru and would go with for there so cal part of the tours. Rode in there tour buses to Iguanas, and other So Cal concerts and getting contact highs so bad we some time would fall down the steps getting off the bus. worked for the Smashing pumpkins, Brian Seltzer, Mr Big, Extreme, Pearl Jam, Social D (pulled a 9 mm glock & almost shot Miss Ness when I walked in on him f-ing my little sister)-Watched fans stage dive from the third tier @ Iguanas. Baby Rock in TJ with 15 Charger cheerleaders. Living @ La Mirage-porn star hot tub margarita Wed, All the charger cheerleaders showing up @ our house parties getting wasted and the next morning finding the passed out in odd places- front yard rose bush, bath tub, floating passed out topless in the hot tub on a blow up float raft spinning in circles. Oh good times. Dollar drink night 5 nights a week @ a different bar-Moose,The Metro,Red onion Wed’s. Sybil’s down under, Baxter’s or Elephant Bar. Epic Jan & Dan black and white parties, Down town “raves” like till the cows come home in the basement of the steak house. Or getting a flyer to some gas lamp rave and having to go to like six different locations and get OK’ed then finally ending up walking up to the 20th floor of some random downtown sky rise that was still under construction, opening the stairwell door to see 600 people with glow sticks in there bottle of water water, go go dancers only in day glow body paint up on platforms under black lights, laser light show, smoke machines and strobe lights everywhere and Dj Greyboy spinning until the sun came up then when you finally found your car the windows broke and stereo stolen if not you whole car. Yea good times for sure!!!
