Ekahob - I was also at Roxy Music at the Paramount. I knew Rob at Vintage Vinyl and hung out there often too. I know what you mean about how things change when kids arrive. I saw Bowie (my longtime favorite.) at Roseland when I was 8 months pregnant

Mare: "Early Club" in my references was clubs I went to before Turning 20, I didn't mean they opened early or anything like that, sorry for not being clear!!

I don't recall the exact years of the NJ Drinking age but I thought by 82 it was back up t

Blaster & Michelle - I'm sure I'd recognize you guys. (Mare - you do look familiar in your pic.)

Blaster I was at SHU from 1979 - 1983. I have that same Joan Jett record. Did you see her at Englander's in Hillside when she toured for that record? Sh

I guess most of you are from the NYC area of NJ but there was a very cool club in Trenton called City Gardens (aka King Tut's City Gardens). In the early 80s I say Billy Idol, The Dead Kennedy's, and AFOS there. What a rockin place. DJ night on Thursda

Philware: "The NYC area of NJ" -- I like that!!

I remember the ads for City Gardens and thinking that it seemed like a cool place, but I've never been there.

I was at the Joan Jett at Englander's show. Also remember seeing the Fast there. I think Ekahob, you and I must have seen each other we were at so many of the same shows. I'll have to find a photo and have someone scan it.
Was anyone at the Ramones s

Michelle: Yes!! I went to all those places, King Tuts Wah Wah and Alcatraz and is the other one you're thinking of: The Skrap Bar? I liked that place the best, it had such a rock 'n roll edge and they had every flavor of Schnapp's you could imagine. That'

Blaster: Wow, that's really bad that she didn't know who Joey Ramone was. Heh, did you dump her after that? I couldn't imagine dating someone who knows less about music than I do ... it would just be too weird.

I have a good story, it's more punk rela

I have a similar Joey Ramone story... I was leaving the Milk bar (this is around 15 years ago...) I was getting ready to walk to my car and I saw Joey and another guy asking each other where they should go next. Somehow I started talking to them and they

Mare: Yes, It didn't last with her! I actually met my wife while dating "her", My wife worked with/for her, & we met at a company Xmas Party (Which I went to with "Top-40 Girl!"), I knew then who I should Really be dating.....

For those of us who lived in Central NJ, it was all about New Brunswick's Cheap Thrills, Music In A Different Kitchen and Captain Video for cool records. As a high-schooler, I used to take the bus into New Brunswick just to go record-shopping. MIADK had
