Legwarmers and Fish Tacos

I went to see the Legwarmers tonight at the State Theatre. They’re an 80s tribute band playing songs like Jesse’s Girl, Material Girl, Vacation, 99 Red Balloons. It was a sold out show! Most of the people in attendance really got into the spirit of the 80s dressed in leggings, fluorescent colors, tight pants on the guys, loud hair for the girls, and ridiculous makeup and jewelry. Wanna know where you can reuse that bridesmaid dress? If it’s hideous enough, you can wear it to a Legwarmers concert! 80s was known for kitschy and gaudy and boy was it ever. I should’ve laid on my eyeshadow thicker. This is the first of this kind of venue I’ve been to where there’s standing room only for the most part and crowded! We tried standing in the front but I could barely breath squeezed between people. Plus, I was too short to see above all the people. We wound up escaping to the upstairs section where there were seats and a great view of the crowd below. State Theatre
This was an hour before the show. By the time it started, the place was packed!

Before the show we had dinner across the street at a place called Clare and Don’s Beach Shack. I ordered fish tacos and T got a crabcake sandwich. Both were delicious. Had I known the show was going to start at 10PM rather than 8PM (printed on the ticket) or even 9PM (the word on the street), we wouldn’t have scarfed the food down in such a hurry and maybe sat around to enjoy a drink or something. And maybe take a photo before inhaling said dinner. I would go back if I were in the area and I would recommend.

Regarding the State Theatre and Legwarmers, call me old fogey but I was deaf for a good 30 minutes after exiting the place so I wouldn’t pick the State Theatre to be my preferred venue. I like the Wolf Trap’s lawn seating for a picnic and music. The Legwarmers were fun though and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing them again.
