I was 23, and on Aug. 16th, 77, and decided to go to the popular disco that evening, since tuesday was their weekly ‘ladies night’. That was usually the night for a guy that could dance well to rarely get a chance to sit down, because of all the ladies requesting a dance.
Crowd was decent. Danced a couple of songs, but the mood was somber in the whole place, and the dance floor mostly empty. During my roughly 2 year habit of frequenting the discos, that was the strangest night at one.
Interesting!... aside from that, it’s cool that you got to experience that piece of our history. I came of that age in the “Disco Sucks!” t-shirt era.
