Your first disco days

[vorlon13]

I recall my first foray into a disco, fall of '75.

Undoubtedly Gloria Gaynor records were being played, LOL.  Most likely Casanova Brown and Never Can Say Goodbye.

I was an innocent farm boy (hard to imagine, I know) and walking into the place was literally like in Wizard of Oz when it goes from B/W to color.

Also, I had only been 'out' for a very short period of time, and had never been in the presence of more than 5 or 6 gay people at one time.  At the disco, there were 200 !!!

I also immediately noted a few hetero couples and had to ask wazzup with that.  Turns out a gay venue was a great place to go if you were out with your mistress instead of your wife, and didn't want to risk being seen.  We had a 'straight' guy in our group, he was pretty much there to placate his 'fag hag' GF.  We liquored him up and put him in the Mr. Buns contest, which he won.

We never saw him again.

Anyhow, had a great time, and my next step was to go there on my own instead of in a group, heh, heh, if you catch my drift.
