When I was in college and living in the dorm my friends and I would go out every Friday and Saturday night to Studio C. It was one of the few dance clubs in Lubbock. There are probably more now but in 1991, not so many. Plus, being only 18 there weren't too many places we could go. But that was okay because we did all our drinking in the dorm before hand (sorry mom and dad, but it's true). One of the girls invented a drink called a tequila slammer, only it had vodka instead of tequila. Strange. I guess we drank what we could get and that vodka took the finish right off the school issued dorm furniture so you know it nasty. Anyway, my point to this story is that it was at Studio C that I first fell in love with techno music. I still love it today. Will I be 80 years, in the old folks' home, and still listening to it? Probably. I found a video (which could be seizure inducing so maybe close your eyes and imagine a dorky girl dancing around in glasses and grunge attire circa 1991) of one of my favorites. In fact, I still have it on my ipod and it makes excellent workout music.
