The Legwarmers

After seeing them on the schedule at the State Theater for years I finally went to see the Legwarmers. They play many times a year and I think they sell out most shows. I've heard about people coming to the show in some nice 80's gear.

Teri and I took my bikes. I rode my road bike and she took my mt bike. We took the metro to Falls Church and rode the rest of the way after a short break. We got there a little early and the place was pretty full. For the next 20 minutes we were entertained by the crowd as people in sweet authentic 80's clothes would walk past. I wore my Slippery When Wet tour t-shirt and was asked to pose for a pic. Denim jackets and cut-off shorts were all about. Lots of ladies were in spandex. The hair was big and locked in place. Everyone was getting in to it. Before the screen was lifted on the stage I saw one of the back up singers with short cut-off jean shorts hike his short shorts up while pulling the front pockets down and out. The band played all the hits from the decade. With the full band they were able to change it up from hair rock to Madona to the Talking Heads. The crowd enjoyed singing along. It is quite the gig they have.

Teri and I rode all the way home on the W&OD/Curtis trail along I-66. We did pretty good although she wasn't enjoying my bike seat. Not sure I'll be back to see the Legwarmers anytime soon but it was fun entertainment to do once.
