AltheDoor. onir ; CASTRO H BOWLING ENJOHN ANU IONICA PHIL AING SOON JOHN CREACH 12 Georgetown GEOR E?@WM, the very mention of the word inspires im - ages of an animated nightiife, a world apart from the every- day green-tiled walls of town. The essence Georgetown can pressed by verbs: laughing, eating, drinking, dancing, cruis- ing, buying, going, prowling, and above all, being seen. Regardless of what hits your hot spot, there is something in Georgetown for you. If you have a bleached-out mohawk, your girlfriend enjoys wearing shaving cream and electri- cian's tape, Ihen head straight for the 930 Club, Commander Salamander's, or Up Against the Wall. If you need to tune into the live band scene, then stroll on down to the Bayou, or up to The Door. This is the best live music in Georgetown. In the mood for some late night excitement? Well then, slip on your fishnet stockings, stiletto heels, and pack your toast and newspapers. Take a jump to the left, a step to the right, put your hands on your hips, puli your knees in tight, and timewarp on down to the Key Theater and the Rocky Horror Picture Show . The Tombs, Desperado's, Crazy Horse, Winston's, it's a teenage wasteland. What else can be said? After the partying gets rolling and Ihe munchies hit, scope out the American Cafe, Swensen's, Crumpets, Haagen-Daas, or the Marketplace. If you really want to make it something special there is Clyde's, Charlie's, or Rive Gauche. For those who think they don't make things like they used to, and for those who wish they still did, step back at the Overflow and Classic Clothing. As the neon lights begin to dim around “M Street, the kegs are running dry, and last call has been called. It is time to wind up Ihe fun and start the trek down the parkway that will get you home. However, George- town will still pulse and live and breathe ... until next weekend. SUASIONS
