The US Festival Summer 1983 – A Day to Remember

Posted on February 19, 2009 by Brad

As graduation approached in the spring of 1983, I began to plan, well hope is more like it, that I could attend the US Festival in Southern California.

This was four days of live music and entertainment from all those acts we saw on MTV (back when they used to play music videos).

There were very few artists who did not play at The US Festival.

From Van Halen to the Scorpions, to The Clash and Missing Persons, there were more than 100 bands and musicians at The US Festival.

80s Costumes For Your Next Party

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Brad

Are you going to a costume party? If so, why not rock a fun 80s costume?

The trick to having a blast at a costume party is to choose a great costume that is not only entertaining, but also comfortable.

With a 80s costume, comfort is included! The 80s were a time of laid-back fashion and you can incorporate that aspect into your costume-wear.

For those who loved the punk-rocker portion of the 80s era, a 80s punk rock costume is perfect! Women can grab a pair of fishnet stockings, a jean skirt, and a tank or tee for an easy costume.

Life and Business Lessons From Bon Jovi

Posted on May 31, 2008 by Brad

Today, I boldly step forward and publicly proclaim that I love Bon Jovi. I admit a touch of embarrassment that my junior high obsession never quite resolved.

My embarrassment usually causes me to hide this fact except with close friends. Even then, some friends tease me, good naturedly of course, about my continued infatuation with an "80s Big Hair Band."

So, why on earth at this point am I confessing my love affair with this rock group?

Last month, I rocked out at my seventh Bon Jovi concert. My husband, bless him, supports my love of the band and treated me to floor tickets.
