omigod! i was just doing some youtube browsing, and found several bad quality videos of the madhatters jawbreaker show that i was very much present for! the date was march 10, 1994. i was 17, and it was probably the best show of my life (and i have been to a few)
madhatters was to me, what the ridglea is to so many kids now. it was a local, all ages club, that booked some pretty kick ass punk bands back in the day. the ones i remember were the queers, no empathy, pegboy, ......ummmm....jawbreaker. i definitely saw a large amount of local bands (toadies, caulk, brutal juice, baboon) there as well. it was a good time to be young and high. ironically, i live just blocks away from where said venue at night/cafe by day resided. when i moved back to texas from oregon, it had become a bad cafe with a bad menu. it was later to be the expansion of the adjacent egyptian restaraunt, king tuts, which it still is.
sometimes i miss those days, but really i will just cherish the memories.
