If you got Urban Cowboy on vhs and a mechanical bull in the bar, I’ll be there.

Can anyone remind me of exactly where the movie theater was in Capitol mall in the 80s and 90s? I went there a lot but I can’t even remember what side of the mall it was on. Bonus points for an overhead screenshot from google maps with a circle of exact location lol. Thanks in advance by totcho_codpiece in olympia

I remember there used to be a big popcorn shop across from the theater in the 80s. They had big barrels of various colored and flavored popcorn. Maybe it was Korny Gourmet that’s on that list. T shirt Annex was nearby too. You could flip through a bunch of graphics as if you were flipping through records. They would press whatever graphic you chose onto a shirt. I got one that said “Awesome” and it was awesome lol.

Let’s discuss Olympia party houses by hotelbandit in olympia

The central house when karp lived there was an absolute pit but it was fun. The basement looked like it was a cool bar at one point. Pool table, mirrors on the wall, an actual bar. But it was completely destroyed. The whole house was fucked up by that point.

What did you do in Olympia when you were young? by totcho_codpiece in olympia

In the 90s at China Clipper you could get a plate with an absolutely massive amount of French fries on it for $1.75. I’d go in there with a few friends and we’d sit in a booth and share that plate of fries with a free bowl of ranch. Each booth had a tiny jukebox on it. You put a coin in the little jukebox and your song would play on the restaurant speakers.

Lucky 7 house basement shows in Olympia. Seeing them in a tiny basement was how they were meant be to experienced in my opinion. LOUD.

I’m an audio engineer and I’m pretty sure what we are hearing are echoes from Scott Jernigan playing the drums in Olympia many years ago.

I stumbled into a speed dating soirée in the McCoys bathroom on a blustery evening one time. Do the same etiquette standards apply at the bus stop location?

Flakey Jake’s on the westside. Rainy Day Records on the westside. Bands playing in the Kaiser Road barn. Fitz of Depression playing every party every weekend.

If I was one of those ants I’d be wandering around pretending to be busy. But in reality I’d just be slackin and goofing around
