dancerjodiThe Netgoths are going skating at the Frog pond Saturday at 5:00 (you should go too). That got me thinking of skating days past. I've been DYING to go rollerskating again :)
I found this place from my brother: http://www.rollerkingdom.com/
So, skating and lazer tag anyone? I wonder if they have video games too (to amuse those not skilled in the art of skating around in a circle with strobe lights and disco ball).
There's also a roller-rink in my city (way closer than trecking my butt out to Tyngsboro) but they don't have the cool lighting effects :)

Date: 2002-01-04 09:15 am (UTC)I do still have rollerskates - white ones with pink wheels. But I bet most people would be on rollerblades these days. Regardless, if we get a big netgoth trip to go, I'll go too. Nevertheless, I suspect it will be mostly teenagers there.
No not the '80s

hehe now I have to see if I can find a copy of the movie Xanadu.

Exactly
Date: 2002-01-04 10:05 am (UTC)Heh,
Date: 2002-01-04 10:06 am (UTC)Do you think there would be enough there to amuse non-skaters?
Can you rent skates there? I'd need to do that :)
let's roll
Date: 2002-01-04 10:07 am (UTC)Worth the trouble for Private Goth Skate Party? RollerKingdom wants $125/hour, 2 hours minimum. If we get 30 people that's around $4/hour... hmm. I'd happily lay down $10 - $15 for a few hours of roller skating... especially if they let us load up their PA system with our own music. Again.. hmmmm.
Re: Heh,
Date: 2002-01-04 10:09 am (UTC)They do have video games that I recall. That lasertag thing must be new. There was a large area to just hang out and have pizza, and watch the skaters. I don't know - I think it would be fun, but I don't know how many non-skaters would enjoy it. Because the music will be ultracheesy. Eh, I would love to do it for nostalgia's sake and because it would be great exercise! I wonder if I can still skate?
Heh, I wonder if they still have the games - like the hokey pokey or the races.

Date: 2002-01-04 10:38 am (UTC)I would hope that we'd be able to get around 30 people, given all of the splinter goth lists in Boston :)

Date: 2002-01-04 10:42 am (UTC)Last time we werer there I wanted to get it

Whoa
Date: 2002-01-04 10:43 am (UTC)There's a laser tag placein Randolph and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an outing, and you took the burden RIGHT off my back! *grin*
I haven't been skating in years, but I'm willing to try as long as I get to chase after people and shoot them somewhere in there.

Date: 2002-01-04 11:22 am (UTC)I spent EVERY one of my Friday nights in jr high/high school at roller kingdom in Hudson...lots of heavy metal and SPEED SKATE.
I had my own skates with florecent grean and black wheels...they were sick...
Re: Exactly
Date: 2002-01-04 11:27 am (UTC)hee hee!
Date: 2002-01-04 11:28 am (UTC)Yes Dear, but remember - heavy metal was "cool" (read, mainstream) in the 80's. We're gonna be boppin' it to Brittany now :)

Did they have velcro? Dude, you're my idol now :)

i mean, i'm absolutely awful at it and will probably break myself.
but i'd love to give it a go anyway!
and i think the goth-skating idea was really nifty.
i'd definitely be willing to pay for fun tunes.
*giggle* i haven't been roller skating since i was 10...

Date: 2002-01-04 04:14 pm (UTC)I have 4 pair of roller blades, roller skates, and 2 pair ice skates. It gets me through the winter. I am not so good, but who cares, it is fun. I have heard that Atlanta has regular gothic roller skating nights... about time we had that here.
Re: hee hee!
Date: 2002-01-05 08:43 am (UTC)I had laces that were half the same florescent green and half black to match the half and half wheels and the black skates -- and the florescent green front stopper.
They were kick-ass.
Re: hee hee!
Date: 2002-01-05 08:45 am (UTC)i graduated in 94...but rollerkingdom was mostly 7th, 8th, 9th, mayber 10th grade?
