My home for all but three years of my life has been the 24 hour city, Las Vegas. Probably the best place to catch bands touring hahaha. Marten 80's Nuts - The Music Resource <A HREF=http://www.80snuts.com>http://www.80snuts.com</A>

Well, as the name implies, I'm from Oklahoma. Born and bred an Okie, I've never lived anywhere besides the county I was born in. Although I do plan to move soon to the Oklahoma City area...more opportunities. And...grrrr...my personal photo icon is STILL not working...*sigh*

I'm from a small city in Michigan by the name of Bay City - yes of the Bay City Rollers and if you ever watched Another World it also used the name. Big claim to fame Madonna was born here (she hated it!)

Just a little trivia on the Bay City Rollers!!! They got their name by sticking a pin on a map of the United States and hit Bay City, Michigan. With the addition of "rollers" (British term for "soft rockers") the Bay City Rollers were born! Wonder what would have happened if they landed on something other than this name??? Can anyone think of a name that would have been funny? Ayla

Duluth Rollers lol (turnpike concrete hellish place) S a t u r d a y Hey I was so happy to hear their music brought back to life on 'So I married an Ax murder' : ) You haven't heard rollers until its done on the bagpipes. : )

I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I moved back and forth from Fort Lauderdale to Davie to Cooper City and back to Fort Lauderdale many times. I also lived in Gainesville, FL for 4 years during college. I am back in Fort Lauderdale now...but not for long. Give me 3 years and I will be somewhere in CA!

Okielady, I can see your personal pic. The problem, I think, is with Fortunecity. I have seen a few others that have had problems when trying to post pictures from Fortunecity sites. I could be wrong though....

Hi, Skolbusdrvr. :) Thanks for coming by and welcome to the community! I hope you have time to come visit us frequently. Lately, I've been working on a few projects and it's been keeping me away from the boards! I hope I can get back in the groove of things quickly. Ever since my job started hassling me about 80'sXChange hits, I've been behind... :(

Well, welcome once again. And I hope to see you soon. :)

Amy Montreal is a great city. I was there in the early 80s and was blown away by the underground shopping along the metro and we actually walked up the magnetic hill (on the hottest day of the year), checked out your plantetarium, went to the old city, ate in a french restaurant. I had the time of my life there <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STOP-->

Yes, they are definately real animals. Let's just say you don't want to be out in your tent camping when you hear one of these scream. That's how they get their name of Tasmanian Devil - they're from Tassie and they scream like the devil! Not a very nice sound I can tell you. Vicious little buggers too!

Greetings!

I'm 26 year old female with some sort of ratty bright red hairdo. I was born in Chicago, spent 20 unfortunate years in Northern Nevada, and currently reside in Seattle. I'm unemployed at the moment, and starting to my crazy dream of making clothing for a living. I also collect '80s vinyl(my collection is taking over my small studio apartment), and I hope to one day spin music for someone other than my cat. I love new romantic, new wave, boys in makeup, glam, big hair, pointy shoes, Nick Rhodes, David Sylvian, David Bowie, 4AD,etc.. I think that just about covers it.

Cheers!

80s lounge is in e-groups - www.egroups.com Then do a search for it. It's been quiet for a while. It was very busy in February, about 600 odd messages sent. Not bad for only a handful of regulars talking amongst themselves!
