LA Pride '82


When I was a youngin' back in 1982 there was nothing more I wanted to do than live in Hollywood and experience first hand such cool bands as The Motels, Berlin, Josie Cotton and all those other LA bands that were headlining up and down the strip and thanks to the onset of such nostalgia, I've had a few brush ins with the '82 vibe while living here. But now with the announcement of who will be performing at this year's Gay Pride Festival, held at the park just down the street from my house, I will be able to really feel the vibes of the 80's cuz frickin Martha Davis & The Motels, Berlin, Josie Cotton, Ann Magnuson and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts are all playing this year - not to mention Tiffany and Martika and a couple of indie guys I'm familiar with - Justin Lanning (whose huge billboard is about four blocks away from my house) and Levi Kreis (who is a pal from My Space) - so if you feel the itch, come on down to my house the first weekend of June and relive the 80's with me - it's gonna be totally tubular, like fer sure!

I'm sorry I didn't mention that you guys were playing... I'll have to go back and fix that. I've been wanting to see Shitting Glitter 4evah but keep missing your shows... now maybe finally I'll see one!

I'm actually most excited to see Martika, I've never seen her before and I used to steal my sister's Martika tape all the time back in the day.
