In the FORUM, a visitor

named Seth wrote in a message titled "Friday Night at the Rink": "As a kid

growing up in the 70's and 80's  there was no cooler place than the roller

skating rink in San Rafael. Parents flooded the parking lot and dropped off

their kids at 8pm. For the next 3 hours the evening was filled by Backward

Skate, Redlight Greenlight, Couple Skate, and stuffing your face at the

snack bar with crappy pizza and watered down fountain drinks.

I still have the LP's that wrote my name on the cover and circled the songs I

wanted the DJ to play.

People from all over the county were there and it was the first time I ever

asked a girl out.  My friends and I looked forward to going to that rink every

week.

Oh, and I'll never forget the night I arrived at the rink and there wasn't a

single person skating on the floor. Why? Because every kid was huddled in

the corner near some new arcade game that I couldn't even see because

there were so many bodies around it. That game was PACMAN and no one

in the county had ever seen it before."
