DALLAS PUNK REUNION

DALLAS, TX Summer of 86 Punk Reunion-AUGUST 19Th 2006

About Me


It was the summer of 86 and the Twilight Room/Circle A Ranch was rocking its last shows, Theater Gallery was always happening and The Clown Ramp or Lower Greenville were daytime gathering spots to find out what shows or parties were happening that night. Everyone was looking forward to WoodShock in Austin. The party houses had come and gone...the Bill House, Skate Pad, and Hell Ranch were history and Gringo Manor was on the horizon. We were all busy drinking, skating, rocking out and some of us even had the business sense to pull down the fire escape at the Arcadia Theater and charge some of you less fortunate kids a reduced admission to slip in the back door. This is the Summer of 86 in Dallas, Texas as recalled by a few old friends and we invite you to share your memories at a 20 year Reunion...

AUGUST 19TH 2006

Location: The DoubleWide

Bands: Shock Nagasaki, Sweet Skull, Dog Company
