The universe is foggy and cool today. So much for the reports of warmer, sunnier weather. Today suits me fine as the fog rolls in and gives the city a mysterious feel. Like it would be fun to dress in dark clothing and steal through the streets, silently drifting.

I am in a new office today. I have a door that closes out the din of the common space I usually share with three or four others. The CD player here is definitely a cool and welcome addition. I am listening to a Luvafair compilation from the 80's with all sorts of stuff that would have been considered alternative at the time, like Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Nina Hagen, Blancmange and Romeo Void. I am in a time warp today.

Anyone remember any of the underground clubs (or unique, for that matter) in their regions during the middle of that decade? I would love to hear from you about them. The following come to mind: In Victoria, we had Club Hacienda, Max Headroom and Pals (all have disappeared). In Vancouver, there was Luvafair (that still exists), the Gandhi Dancer, Graceland and Eclipse. What about where you were during that time? Participate by filling out one of those little comment thingies at the end of this entry!

It's the weekend soon! Have fun! If you have some, go play in the fog! But, be safe and watch out for drivers!
