Anyone remember this?


On Sundays, this was the place to end the evening. The I-Beam Tea Dance. Packed to the rafters with eye candy everywhere. In the front of the dance floor, was a stage, open to all to dance on, and of course, fabulous fan and banner dancers were strutting their stuff on stage too.
Free Tickets were occasionally given out at on Sunday afternoons at various venues. So on a Sunday evenings after the Eagle beer bust it was off to the I-Beam. Later on, I continued going with my newly met first BF. He lived in the Haight, so it made it even more convenient.


In the mid 80's me an my first boyfriend spent the weekend up at the Russian River. While walking on the sidewalk, we spotted two very handsome(incredibly handsome) men eating at an outdoor restaurant. It was Al Parker. During my coming out in the 80's he was my favorite porn star. I boldly walked up to he and his BF, and talked a bit, and asked for his autograph. He was very nice. Fumbling, I searched my wallet for something to write on. It was the I Beam ticket. Cordially, he signed his name, and said thank you. Of course all day that day I was ecstatic. Especially later on, when I saw both of them around town. Slurp!

I loved the I-Beam, but it was the concerts there that I recall with the most fondness: Clan of Xymox, Erasure, the Heartthrobs and too many others. The other venue that had some memorable shows was the Kabui: Soft Cell, the first US tour of Eurythmics, Romeo Void...
