it was 80's night, oh what a night

Club 1984 moved to Mighty and now seems to have died. And Monday's 80's night Testarossa at Trigger has shifted its start time from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. (doors open at 10 but no one is there). We sort of stopped hitting 80's at Trigger at 10:00 when Pollo stopped hosting Brain Farts trivia down the street from 8:00 to 10:00. However, last monday we found ourselves walking home and passing Trigger on a Monday just after 10:00 and thought we'd check it out.

We can always make our own fun, which we did, and as we were about to leave sometime between 10:30 and 11:00, the place filled up in a matter of minutes. So, 80's is still on, but for the younger set for whom 80s is "retro" and not nostalgia, and for whom drinking and partying starting at 11:00 on a Monday night doesn't seem to be an issue.

Oliver Twist, the face/body paint man who sets up shop in the corner—and who was a hit at my own 40th birthday party—has reappeared at Testarossa and has developed an amazing talent. So much fun!
