I miss the HFSFestival...All the 18 year old boobies you could handle in a 60,000 person venue....

I wish I can travel back in time and see what ffx was like in the early 70s and 80,maybe the 1990.One thing I remember TV networks sign-offs I wish we had that today instead of infomercials.
Stuff I want when traveling back:
An 71 Camaro RS
Some Punk or P-Funk records

I was a teen in the 80s (though not in FFX). I fucking hated the 80s.

http://media.bonnint.net/wtop/19/1978/197838.jpg

The roller rink site was on the block now occupied by the Sheraton Suites in north old town (Madison & St Asaph) and it hosted major shows (The Doors, King Crimson, B.O.C., Yarbirds, Sabbath, Alice Cooper). Yes, in the space where yuppies now dine at Finn & Hoof and hail the sommelier, Iggy Pop once crawled around like a madman and local boy Jim Morrison popped out his wiener.

The Sex Pistols never played Alexandria. They were supposed to kick off their doomed US tour at the Alexandria Roller Rink, but visa and scheduling difficulties pushed their tour back a week or so. For those that find it an odd location for an epic punk tour, remember that their idea was to blaze through the bible belt for the sake of bad publicity and riling the locals. The tickets for the canceled concert can fetch a few bucks, if you have one.

The proprietor of the former record stores on King Street (Art "Lobo" Wray) had some wild stories about Alexandria and northern VA pre-gentrification/pussification. I wish I knew where he was these days. We used to talk for hours about music.

LOL. Great pictures of the first HFStival. Though the first HFStival missed the 80's by one year, it was still pretty much the 80s. I still had a stupid 80s skater cut at the first HFStival. And I wondered why I couldn't get in that one girl's pants.

I dont think the Stones did a set at the Bayou. People were expecting them to the day they checked into the Dolley Madison Hotel the day before the three nights at the Capital Centre. Kixx was playing if I remember correctly. I was told they weren't going to show up and was told it was sold out show and no one was there to see Kixx.

You may be confused with a 1979 show they did at the Warner Theater. But is was not a walk on. Tickets were sold in advance.

I was at the Bayou that night - they played 3 songs and left. There were about 50 people in the club.

Does anyone recall the owners name of Rhiannon's.

At one time, I remember that Keith bought it out.

Old Keene Mill Rd

i worked there in the 80s. one of the owners name was Scott; don't recall his last name. keith was a partner but they caught him stealing money so we came in for work one day and he was gone. was never as much fun after that. good times.

Horrible hairstyles. Crusty, overdyed, permed and teased coifs. Back in the day, I honestly found the popular hair trends absolutely hideous.

Leather & Members Only jackets, denim vests.

Dave Grohl was a local skater kid, worked at Tower Records and was involved in garage bands.

Cheap cassette tapes were rampant, instead of mp3 players or CDs. No DVDs, only VHS tapes were available.

MTv was worth watching.

Obesity was uncommon. You'd see the odd fat person from time-to-time, although never obese.

Bad 80's metal(Ratt, Quiet Riot, Poison, Motley Crue etc)and conversely, good metal(Judas Priest, Pantera, Skid Row, Megadeth).

Springfield Mall didn't suck. It had the arcade(Time Out), a movie theater, several restaurants and decent stores.

Fairfax County still had its share of genuine rednecks.

McMansion-neighborhoods didn't exist in FFXco.

Record & tape businesses were huge--Sam Goody, Suncoast, Tower Records and so forth--all of which are now long-gone.

Learning how to break-dance.

Although Day-Glo spandex and lace has become synonymous with the '80s, that's an exaggeration. Most people I knew didn't consider Madonna or LA coke-whores fashion icons. I often wore skintight dark-wash jeans, Nike Dunks and a band t-shirt and certainly wasn't in the minority.

On that note, some 80's fashion aesthetics truly WERE whack; pantsuits with shoulder-pads, bright pink/red lipstick, bleached hair, garish cheap-o jewelry, high waist acid wash jeans, cut-off shirts, parachute pants...

Affordable fuel prices; far less commuter traffic.

Field parties w/bonfires and boom-boxes. Nobody ever called the cops to bitch about the noise.

Yeah, I remember FORTUNA at King's Park.

Also, the Pepperoni Stick in Burke, Giffords Ice Cream across the street.

All you can eat seafood place was Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. King crab legs were great deal. If you were serious you would skip the hush puppies and fries ...

Yeah Wally was a big greasy dude. His pizza was square or rectangular and had kind of a sweet sauce, it was not NY or Philly style pizza. I worked part time at Aristo dry cleaners and we went to fortuna quite a bit.

Ding how was there in the 70's and is still in operation today. I am sure the ownership has changed many times.

Most expensive thing on the menu was $15 all you can eat king crab legs, which got you all the other less expensive all-you-can-eats too, just for variety - shrimp, mussels, scallops, etc. We'd skip school and eat their for hours until we were cross-eyed. Poor guys had no chance of staying in business. A place like that will never be replicated.

SLEDDING ON HANNAHS HILL!!
Some of those bond fires were taller than humans. Great hill, great meeting spot.

Oakton's Friendly's Ice Cream Parlor
The place to find out where the 80s party's were. Hot girls who worked there and those old fashioned uniforms which tastefully sported their breasts. Getting in whip cream fights with those industrial sized canisters that would shoot across the room. Emptying them of gas in the back room, when the whip was gone... hey, they didn't call it "friendly's" for nothing!! *LOL*

Fourth&One in the Superbowl?
. . . Eh, punch it up the middle & take it in for the touchdown too.
Trade starting QB-Jay Schroeder for starting OL-Jim Lachey?
. . . Schroeder disappears out of the league & Lachey goes all-pro three times
Switch to the aging QB-Doug Williams after the youthful Schraeder?
. . . Eh, William MVPs in the Superbowl.
Gibbs has to battle the division with Hall of Famers like Tom Laundry & Bill Parcells?
. . . Eh, Gibbs wins more superbowls in the 80s than both of them did in their lives.

Imagine a time when... Joe Theisman was actually cool & Dexter Manley was actually clean. WOW! Seems like a long, long time ago.

Seeing E.T. (don't judge) in June 1982 at the Springfield Mall. The line literally went out the door with the big "2" over it and circled halfway around the mall. Good times.

No question about it, this place is a former shell of what it use to be in the late 80's ..damn I miss those days!!!

And the @#$$$$ developers who sliced off the top of Hannah's Hill had the gall to name the street 'Sledding Hill Lane'...insulting for sure =(

Agree wholeheartedly on Friendly's.

Agree wholeheartedly on Chesapeake Bay Seafood House.

Tony Flagg was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I know that I've met him, but just don't know exactly when/where it precisely happened.

However, he was NOT responsible for hoisting that shopping cart up the Oakton High School flagpole....that was someone else ;^}

We used to walk to Pepperoni Stick after wrestling weigh-ins. Nothing like starving for a day or two to make weight and then gorging right before a match!

And the @#$$$$ developers who sliced off the top of Hannah's Hill had the gall to name the street 'Sledding Hill Lane'...insulting for sure =(

Agree wholeheartedly on Friendly's.

Agree wholeheartedly on Chesapeake Bay Seafood House.

Tony Flagg was everywhere and nowhere at the same time. I know that I've met him, but just don't know exactly when/where it precisely happened.

However, he was NOT responsible for hoisting that shopping cart up the Oakton High School flagpole....that was someone else ;^}
=======================================================

Yes "Sledding Hill Lane" became quite a quaint name for people who had never sledded on it before. And some of those houses look like the godfather lives there now.

Friendly's - last one is in Sterling. If I have to have a Reeses Pieces Sunday, it's there for me.

Chesapeake Bay Seafood House - now days for a seafood fix, on wednesdays 5-8, Chantilly's Bungalow Billards has a $15 lobster, $7 crab legs (half pound), and
$7 shrimp (half pound). As an adult that is about all-I-can-eat now days (or as I say, all-I-can-weigh *lol*). With a twenty year inflation handycap that's not bad - twice the price but with a lobster upgrade.

Tony Flagg - I hear ya, he's hard to find, he lays low, sneaks around and pays peoples bar tabs when they are not looking. He's gotten me a couple of times.

LOL. Benny Hill. I remember that, but it wasn't what I was talking about. If you switched your TV to the channel that SuperTV broadcasted to and got the rabbit ears on the TV just right, you could pick up the signal...sort of. It was black/white, looked more like a negative, and had some squiggles, but you could make it out. It sufficed, but then my friend's dad subscribed and we could watch it legit. On mute, in an attic. Nothing but hairy bushes and saggy tits, but it was naked chicks.

I remember heading out to Kemp Mill to see what new records were out. I would go to record and tape shows over in Alexandria because they had "imports" and hard to find (bootleg) recordings. When the first Tower Records went in, they had pretty much all the imports you could find at those shows. The bootlegs were never really that good, but it was different.

Waxie Maxies, Penguin Feather and eventually the used record and CD stores like the one that used to be in Fairfax were regular hang outs. Now, all that gas I sepnt on driving around town could buy 100 sings on iTunes.

I know there is a whole thread dedicated to this, but hanging out at Springfield Mall was a highlight of being a teenager in the 80's. It was far enough enough away, and without any FFX County Parkway to use, that going there was a special thing. I must have dumped thousands of dollars into the games at Time Out and Time Out 2 and had 100 Orange Julius'. I don't know how many throwing stars I bought at that place downstairs, but I know I lost every single one of them.

Got my first Jethro Tull album using a blank cassette tape and recording WAVA's Sunday night album hour broadcast on my Panasonic boom-box...thought that was slick.

As recently as a few years ago, there was one on 123 in Vienna/Oakton. Is that not still there?

The one in Burke is still there. That place will never close.

I think the one on 123 closed.

Sledding at Ft. Belvoir golf course was a great childhood memory! I wiped out a couple of times there, too, leaving half my face with scrapes--it was great! Anyone have pictures of Hayfield pits?

No spicks- day labor's
hairy pussy
not many fat chicks
motley crue
dokken
no jews
no chinks
tracey lords
no condoms needed, no std's, facials
no gangs
lohmans plaza car curising

Mail ordering boxes of fireworks, getting tons of freebies on early bird special, bottle rockets where $3 a gross, they'd sell for $.75-1 per pack, like printing money back in Jr High.

God who could forget Franconia rink. I was up there most Friday and Saturday nights. I pulled more a** from that place.

I don't miss the hairy pussy, but yeah cruising loehmanns plaza was fun. There's really not anything like that now...that I know of anyways. I actually met Traci Lords and got her autugraph back in the 90's.

It sounds like there are a couple of Jaguars on the board today...Loehmann's Plaza was a cruising ground only for Falls Church High kids, with the occasional "drive by" by kids from Stuart who risked the body work on their or their parents' cars. I once saw a car full of Stuart kids stop in front of Giacomo's, only to have the trunk of their car beaten on with a tire iron...

Those were the days, my friend!

The (original) 9:30 Club on 9th @ F streets

The Bayou in Georgetown

Charring Cross & Crazy Horse (also in Georgetown)

"Let's go drink 40s at the Aquaducts!!"

punks, goths, etc., hanging out at "the square" in Old Town Alexandria

Being dared to run across the rail road bridge in Lake Accotink (and barely surviving!)

D.C. Space

15 minutes club

Churches hosting hardcore/punk shows in DC (All Soul's Church, Sanctuary Theater, St. Steven's Church, etc) because the clubs got sick of all the violence.

Expeditions to Midgetville in Vienna

Getting stuck in DC because the trains stopped running at midnight!

Seeing AVAIL play 50 times in 1990 when they were a RESTON BAND and Brian was singing for them

Rushing to the MD state border because VA stopped selling booze at midnight, MD still soled until 2 a.m.

Going to SMASH RECORDS back when it was in Georgetown to get music, clothes, DOC MARTENS and flyers for shows.

Drinking on the EXORCIST STAIRS!

TOKEN ENTRY - DESCENDANTS - BAD BRAINS - Watching classic hardcore bands play with my friends and not caring, just for a few hours, how fucked up our families were and just how scary things got in the 90s. If you're reading this, you relate and you're not in prison or addicted to something - CONGRATULATIONS. Locals from that era and that alternative following who are still alive, free & made something of themselves are few and far between.

Excellent thread, great memories! Hated the 80s at the time. I really thought I missed out on all the goodness they had in the 60s & 70s, but it really was a great time. I don't miss the emergence of AIDS nor of crack. Remember the original Night Flight on USA early cable? Outstanding programming for those very buzzed weekend late nights!
