Old Memory Ahead...

I`m hooked to Liberty AM between 8 am and 8.15. That's when the station has nobody in control (it seems) and records can be played over and over. They hit the random 80s bad music button. Bananarama has been featured a lot, as well as Tears for Fears. Today was Olivia Newton John's turn. "Physical."

It reminded me of when I was 7 and we used to go to a coastal town called Peruibe. A cousin of my mom's would invite us to stay with her, and my brother and I ended up good friends with her daughter (who was my age.) Once, because it was off season and the city was dead, we were taken to the only nightclub in town. It had one of those dancefloors with squares that flash different colours, like the one in "Saturday Night Fever".

I remember dancing with my brother and my cousin to all kinds of stuff, specially to "Physical". One night, the owner decided to film just the three of us dancing to it. She then used the video on a screen, I guess for the adults to laugh at us while they sipped their drinks and listened to Pat Benatar...

I would love to get my hands on that video...

That would be so fucking amazing. :) I'd love to have a video of me dancing as a kid.

Lately, Robert and I have been in charge of providing visuals on some parties that friends have thrown. We purchased a video called 'workout with mommy and me', and old children's workout from the 80's at a second hand store to project on the walls/ceiling. The video is great, it basically consists of women and their children in primary colored unitards stretching in front of semi-psychadelic backgrounds.

Priceless.

No, but we have a few DJ friends. We're more like...aesthetic advisors and multimedia producers. Sounds really official when you say that.
