dbig, Thanks for the welcome! I lived over on Chaucer in the Village, exciting times to be in Houston back in the 80s. Much more sedate lifestyle now. Used to love Valhalla's grad student bar in Rice, do I remember 5 cent beers? Def not more than $0.25. Rudyards after payday, Rock Saloon was another place, Caribana to relax with some reggae.. Lots of lowlifes hanging around Westheimer, including me. I'll always remember the music scene! dave

Wow, sorry to hear of Lon's (Joe Starr's) passing. I worked at the Omni for joe in 82/83. Lived there too, penniless punk, so many memories I don't remember! He was a character, hated the cops, spent years trying to clear his name after a raid where he got into an altercation when they busted into his office. The video store was connected to the front of the club. I remember the asian dude, liked to play with knives. acid everywhere, and crystal. sex and drugs and r'n'r and houston FTW! My addition to the page - Gyro's Gyros right next door to the omni. dave
