I do remember Masquerade, though. I checked it out once when I was clubbing down in ATL and thought it was a great club. I guess it's long gone, but dancing there will go down in my club diary as one of the more memorable nights I've had. I'm sure the night you've described with DM there was prolly as rowdy as the one they experienced here in DC at the old 9:30.

I do think I remember the "We've got your money now" talk. I and my gf (now wife) made it pretty close to the front right in front of the stage--Rodney dumped water on our heads toward the end, and right after the show we also got the rubber bat that had been on Rodney's keyboard. I had that thing in my car for the next three years. I knew nothing about the SGC, but found them interesting. I don't really think they were my thing, but I don't ever boo or harass someone who's on stage when I'm not. I would've been 19 at the time, so I don't know if I'm one of the 'fucking kids' Anne mentions (I hope not.) Good post, and an awesome show (as the DM always were). Dang…I think I was there as well.

I remember this one jackass who got on stage and flicked off the SCGs. He got kicked in the ass. Tiny Town was the perfect opener. I felt embarassment for Atlanta that night. I think I saw the milkmen 2 other times that year. Oh yeah, they used the Sun City Girls in the story line to Bitchin' Camaro Some of my fondest memories... Firehose on Easter Eve was tops though I was about 16/17ish, I was there, I remember it well. The crowd sucked. I remember this one jackass who got on stage and flicked off the SCGs.

I remember wearing my jacket in to the club and instantly regretting it. It was packed (one of the most crowded shows I ever saw at the Masquerade), and the people were just pressing into each other, fighting to get closer. Everyone I knew who was there flat out hated SCG, and I remember a friend telling me about their drummer foaming at the mouth for most of the show. It made me simulatneously wish I'd gotten there earlier and glad I hadn't. I barely even remember Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. Wasn't one of the guys wearing a dress? Jesus, this feels like a lifetime ago. The Dead Milkmen opened with "Tiny Town" if memory serves. It was a good night. I was one of the kids at this show. I was 15 or so.
