Back in the day....
While Christmas shopping a few nights ago, Scott & I were talking about how different the vibe is for kids growing up in Tulsa today, than when we were young. I know, it makes me sound old but back in the day, we didn't have that many places to go & see live local bands & concerts were almost non-existent in our city. Talked about seein our first NIN show at the Cains or going to see KMFDM at various locations & IKON, back in the day.
Bunny mentioned that Tulsa kinda reminded her of Austin but I said it's not nearly as cool but it makes me happy there is actually a scene now & that downtown is being revitalization & turning into something other than a grave yard from the oil boom. I guess there was always a scene & my peops just happened to be the one's who were a little less in the mainstream, which is still very much true today. Makes me sad sometimes to see people that I once thought were cool totally assimilated to rest of the world.
I've been going through old pics as I'm digging stuff out for the ex to borrow & make copies of & it's so funny to see some of the old peops with blue, green or purple hair. I have been known to have purple or Burgundy hair from time to time & still do the burgundy thing, quite well, if I say so myself. It's also funny to see what the skater guys wore back in the day being sold at Hot Topic. Funny but in a good way, I guess. Depends on how you look at it.
