Mithrandir Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I was on The Solar Federation board when that existed. I then followed everyone to CP. I used the name "Gandalf" originally and then became "Mithrandir" for a number of years. Now back to "Gandalf". I was on the site non stop for those early years and remember plenty of "debates" :) Many great memories of the time spent on the board. Although I can't remember most of the posters from those early years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I remember going to see The Ramones in 1981-82 with my sister and a guy she knew - Ron Fisher .. He was the first guy I ever knew who had a ring thru the middle of his nose and he also happened to be a member of The Pagans .. At the time, I didn't realize what it was all about, but he was one cool, tough mother****** ... It was a never a dull moment with him whenever he and his friends came around .. Now we have people who pretend to be so hard on internet message forums I'm so glad I grew up when I did . . . I wonder if I ever ran into you back then. Not that I would remember. That whole time period is a massive blur in my brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole time period is a massive blur in my brain. Lorrain, the Ramones show was at The Showplace in Dover, NJ .. I was 15, and my sis' friends never had a problem getting me in to certain shows ... Unfortunately, I didn't tag along all the time, and missed some good shows .... but it was a little intimidating being around some of those guys - lots of alcohol and drugs, which I was never comfortable with .. My sis saw most of the good stuff in NYC back then - late 70s into the 80s ... if there was something happening near my house, I went, but I pretty much stuck with my parents or friend's parents dropping us off at RUSH or Iron Maiden until I was old enough to drive :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you said The Ramones, I think CBGBs, not The Showplace in Dover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
