Traveling through time..A Question worth thinking about

[Ed Hocken]

Plus, being in mid 80s LA you'd avoid three major earthquakes.

[Shit Dickface]

Actually, I'd still totally bang her now. I don't know why.

[Matt]

Yeah, LA in the mid 80s would be pretty damned cool. Big hair, righteous metal, and lots of booze and partying women. That'd be hard to beat.

San Dimas isn't in The Valley (Where I am), San Dimas is WAY the fuck out in the San Gabreial Valley, going towards San Bernardino. It's subrurban and dry as all hell.

So...no loose bitches?

[Ed Hocken]

We're talking dry and white trash. But you'll probably score some suburban high schoolers.

Weed connections? Typical for any subrurban area.

Nowadays there's a really big asian enclave for some reason.

If I had to stay in LA, I'd go for 82-87. You'd get everything Matt said and the olympics.

So far, I'm leaning towards NYC 74-79. True cultural explosion while the city teeters on bankrupcy. Sure, I'd be worried about getting mugged and possibly stabbed. But all the fuckin you could want.

Yaaay, same as me!! Honey, we could totally hang out together the whole time!! We could see Bianca, Liza, Misha and Mick coked out to the gills at Studio 54!

Where would your fabulous-self live?

[Ed Hocken]

I don't know. Seeing how I'd be limited by the five miles. I suppose somewhere in lower Manhattan.

It's funny because both my folks lived in Manhattan during that time. Neither of them really talk about it. My mom even saw Nixon walking around once.

I am telling you, you've GOT to get your parents to open up so you can report back with stories! NY in the 70s? Hell, you have to get them to tell us!

I'd stay right smack in the middle of the city. Certainly no further northwest than Lincoln Center, no further southeast than Fifth Ave.

EDIT: Ed, we'd be in good shape. Let's say you go all the way to the lower East Side and then all the way up to the way upper west side. According to Map Quest, that's about seven miles. So we'd have to shave off just a little bit of our radius and we'd still have a pretty good chunk of the city.

[Ed Hocken]

They don't for some reason. My dad would on occasion mention stuff. His days as a projectionist, the time he got invited to Studio 54 for a friend's birthday party. The fact he paid $185 for his place on Christopher Street. (Which did make me kind of wonder).

My mother as a nurse over at Lennox Hill, living in what was then known as The Silk-Stockings district.

1) 1976 - 1980 London - get to watch the birth of British punk rock, watch the rise of the Sex Pistols, the Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Damned, etc.

2) Elizabethan Era London (any 5 year period between 1558-1603) - get to watch first run Shakespeare and Marlowe plays, bitches!

3) Gotta go with Ed and Lisa - late 70's New York - grindhouse cinemas, fucking, and Son of Sam paranoia FTW! And maybe, MAYBE, admission to Studio 54!

[Ed Hocken]

Tim seeing how we can't alter our appearences. I doubt any of us could get into 54.

However, I fully expect you to fuck up some street trash down in the Bowery.

[Lisa]

It's bizarre to think about going back in time and knowing then what we know now. Can you imagine going up to the fuck rooms at Studio 54 and insisting that the random sex guys put on a condom?

[Ed Hocken]

STDs weren't what they were back then.

There's a documentary while extremly low budget was very informative and it was called "Gay Sex in the 70s". I couldn't believe how much fuckin' was going on back when Manhattan had abadoned piers.

Speak for yourself! I'm as cute as the dickens!

Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall won't know what hit 'em!

STDs weren't what they were back then.

Nope. They were cuter and cuddlier. "Oh, Chlamydia trachomatis! You're such a scamp! You, too, herpes! (or "Hoipes" - we are in NYC after all)"

[Lisa]

Of course, with all the 70s NYC fucking, the rule that we can't alter our appearance or age could be a hinderance for me. I'm trying to imagine convincing a 28-year-old Mikhail Baryshnikov that I swear I could show him a great time in the sack!
