If we ever happen to meet I know we'd get along. Anyone who likes or references Guy Clark is a gentleman and a scholar.

You are correct. I should have said 85/86 year. Beer in Boone passed in March of '86. Remember the parties the night it passed very well! Beer trucks started rolling in the next week for grocery stores and a few restaurant/bars were selling by late April/May.fjblair wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 6:29 pmI think you still had to go to Blowing Rock to buy beer in 1985. I remember brown bagging, but I think the beer still came from BR. Tried to look it up but got swallowed up be google nonsense.JGthatsme86 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:00 pm'82 (freshman): Happy hour with 5 cent drafts (yes a nickel) at Mother Fletcher''s, buckets of beer at Clyde's, bands at PB Scott's and hanging on the deck at Holly's. (Note: The drinking age was 18)
'83 (sophomore): Cheap Trick at Varsity Gym, parties at the Powderhorn shed and also at "The Barn" (on Winkler's Creek)
'84 (junior year) Antler's Drink & Drown night (Fried chicken and unlimited beer for $4), private fraternity keggers with a cover charge and Yosef Music Festival in Valle Crusis (which was wild)
'85 (senior year- Beer in Boone was passed!) Taking a 6 pack of tall boys to H'Appys (now Legends) to see bands, Geno's dance club, and lot's of house parties.
Why do I remember those day's better than what did last week?
I remember when the George Hatcher Band set up right in front of those windows. They were supposed to play an outdoor concert somewhere on campus but it rained and the show was cancelled. Somehow they ended up at Clyde's of all places, not much room for a band in that space.WataugaMan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:36 amAgreed, it's Clyde's, I recognize the window in the background.Arsenal App wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:10 pmIt's the original PB Scott's which later became Clyde's when PB's moved into the location remembered by most of us. That's why I said it was Clyde's. Either answer would be correct.scatman77 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:06 pmNope; that's PB Scotts.WataugaMan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 10:43 amI believe this album cover from Doc, Merle, and the Band was taken at Clydes or Hollies (not sure which one): https://www.google.com/search?q=doc+and ...

Thank you Rekdiver. I know folks were just passing time and having a little fun but it was getting pretty tiresome having to wade through all that stuff while trying to get actual information / discussion about the staff.
