I c jould just see people running In and out of the. doors on the _
side of the walls all flfcatrt doing unmentionable thinss.T wanted
to find out what it looked like in there,and there was only one
th: ** mg that happened in there,so I decided I'd better not look*. rhow,everyone under 19 had to leave the place after 6:00,
,4IE
so it didn't really u.t ;v,I "a’ 1 ; k: :;v: what I '/xl" - I a
. pll wee like -this. I' only fourteen, and I'm in a wince that turns
! of :o a punk rock joint after hours,!'d have to remember the name this place -11 dcorae back to it after 6:00 when I was old enoufh.
