I lived in Atlanta from 1987-1991, I was wondering if anyone here use to hang out at Weekends or Club Rio (before Rob Lowe ruined it)?

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Thu, May 20, 2004 - 10:19 AMOmg. I used to hang out at Weekends (both Peachtree & Spring when it moved) and Club Rio all the time in the 80's. Man, was it a good time.
Nice to "meet" someone else who remembers them. :) -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Fri, May 28, 2004 - 8:17 PMI'll never forget the first time I went to Weekends on Peachtree, I look over at the bar to see a guy with nothing on but Christmas lights. We had such good times there. I was in Atlanta going to Design school at Bauder College, I also was working in the jewelry department at Macy's Lenox Mall (I think that was the name of the mall?). I mention this because maybe we knew each other or had aquaintances? Well, thanks so much for replying!

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Thu, November 24, 2005 - 3:36 PMThe answer to that question is - They're old enough to proudly admit they were able to experience one of the most awesome eras in rock history: THE PUNK REVOLUTION ! -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Thu, November 24, 2005 - 4:28 PMyeah - and back then the drinking age was 19... then for a little while (liek 6 months or something stupid like that) it went up to 20 - and then finally to 21
but that really didn't matter because clubs, bars, and liquor stores didn't card anyone anyways... that was just before MADD (Mothers Agains Drunk Driving) took a stand and laws starting being enforced...

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Thu, November 24, 2005 - 3:24 PMI remember them & many, many others. I played in Nixon's Aids, The Restraints, Phreddy Vomit & the Teenzinheat, The Wake. I lived at the original "Blue Rat Hotel". My best friend was Chris Wood - We were practically inseparable. My question is - does anyone still remember me ? -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Tue, November 28, 2006 - 9:59 PMWell, I was the youngest tenant of Pershing Point in Stratford Hall (I have the sign from the W.Peachtree side , I stole it before they demolished the building)..... I loved Chris Wood to death, he was always a gentleman around me, I wish I knew where Phreddy went because I keep hearing he died in Seattle...... NOT in a fall through the roof at 688:). I loved Margaritaville and the Nightporters....... was present at openings in ALL Blue Rat locations....... so it seems that there is no way I wouldnt remember you. I remember Malibu, Moses, Bobby Burns, Billy Asshole Bateman, Tam McMahon, Pam, Loreli, Tina, Robin, Ann Bracewell, Mark Dienstag, Raul, Clark, Ill quit now.......do you remember me???
As far as clubbing, I was the Door Bitch at Rio, Scenario, Petrus, Lavitas (during the run of "let my people come" an off broadway musical... Velvet, Colorbox, Plastic, and I think that was all......... if more come to mind I will post........... -
-
Re: late 80's clubbin'
Fri, March 30, 2007 - 6:59 PMOkay...months after the fact I'm replying to say Phreddy is alive and well and living in like Duluth or something...I have his email address here somewhere. I can definitely get it from his brother,Eric, who I keep in touch with.
Did y'all know Kris Clower? I used to adore him...RIP Kris.
And remember when RuPaul danced at Weekends? What great times.

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Wed, September 12, 2007 - 10:15 AMOMG memory lane! I was at Georgia Tech from 1980 - 1985 and spent my free time at 688, Agora Ballroom, the Bistro, Moonshadow Saloon, Weekends, Numbers, etc... I have such incredible memories of the bands that I saw! 688 has a place on mySpace that lists all of the bands that ever played there. I must have seen over half of them. Nothing can compare to those days. Does anyone remember the name of the club that opened on West Peachtree after 688 closed... it was almost theater like (maybe had theater in its name?) ... I saw OMD there live in the late '80s but can't remember the club's name. I think it was West P'tree ... Back then everything wasn't so overdeveloped. You could actually walk around that whole area between 10th and 14th and it sort of seemed peaceful in a way. I remember drinking Rolling Rock beer at 688 ... shopping at Wax N Facts in L5P ... ahhh, that was the life! -

Re: late 80's clubbin'

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Mon, January 31, 2005 - 9:10 AMI used to go to Weekends, Rio, Velvet, 688, Metroplex. I have lots of old photos from 688, Rio and the Metroplex. Was also a house photographer (whatever that means) for the Masquerade once upon a time. Lots of great memories there and friendships made.

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Thu, April 14, 2005 - 4:17 PMDoes anyone remember the "House Fairy" house music show on WRAS 88.5? He had a kick ass show where he just played housey singles (no dj mixes). I think it was Fridays 10p to 12a.This spot has morphed into the currnet "Houseworks Show", which has really declined. This was around 1992 when i first moved here. -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Wed, August 24, 2005 - 12:12 PMok - I know I'm posting a little late here but I fucking LOVED the House Fairy!!!
That guy was SO damn awesome!
I used to LOVE hearing him say "House Fairieeeeee!" -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 5:27 PMHouse Fairy, that was Stephen Stubbs. A WEEKENDS regular.
Does any one remember The Bistro? The Original Metroplex? TV Dinners? Illusions? Warehouse parties on Peters, Mangum, Trinity, or Broad Street. Pilotex? Mattress Factory Shows?
Have ANY of you had a beer at the Miami Bar? or the Domino Lounge? or San Souci? The Cove, oh, and of course Backstreets... -

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Mon, April 2, 2007 - 8:17 AMThe Bistro was a second home for a while. I still stay in touch with those guys. As for the old Metroplex, you can still find Paul Cornwell hanging out in East Atlanta trying to open a club there. PilloTex and Mattress Factory were pure magic. Peters Street was a good place to go looking for trouble and finding it in generous amounts, hanging out with the oh-so-nonconformist dressed in black clones. *sigh* What wonderful memories I have.

Re: late 80's clubbin'
Mon, June 18, 2007 - 8:32 PMI remember all these people. I worked at the Strand Hair salon on 17th st.. Kira I did your hair along with most of the blue rats. My friend Jane and I always went to the clubs and I married Jim Wakeman who was an artist at the Gallery. I remember you dated my friend Steve G... I wonder where all these people are. I can still hear Freddy singing "plastic jeasus on my dashboard of my car".
