my punk days were at the black lounge mostly. i loved bugging the u of c dorks back then, haha. and the attic? damn, i haven't heard that word in so long. it was always fun in there.

if you are a playground local in kensington, you would remember Lido's for sure then, haha.

SKATEJUNGLE was dope! The wharehouse space at the back was sooo awesome for all-ages punk shows. GOOD TIMES! Crazy.

I remember the original Republik was on 9th Ave, just off 4th St. Too young to go in the original haunt tho.

Lido Cafe? Course. HOTWAX!! That place has been there for ages. That Chicken place (can't remember the name) on the corner 14 St/Kensington. Skating Riley Park.

RECORDLAND in Inglewood - the GREATEST used record store in fucking western Canada? I go there when i'm back in Cowtown. ANY CRATE DIGGERS on the board - go to RECORDLAND in Calgary. You'll plan entire trips around their hours.

Also when everybody at the Wharehouse (alternagoth types) danced the same. When Calgary rednecks called you a fag for going there too....
