Thanks for posting the page about the Batcave and the whole scene. It really does give a good picture of what it was like.
I grew up not far from where "Andrea" was found in Huntington Beach. I do remember seeing people dressed like that in the downtown area in the early eighties. I was very young and probably afraid of them
I do remember in the 7th grade (1987) many kids started coming to school wearing the white goth makeup and black clothes. Being a beach town, they really stood out. I remember these types all the way through High School. They were called Death Rockers, Goth or Doom and Gloomers.
So I'm guessing there must have been a scene or "Batcave" sort of place they hung out in Huntington. Just have no idea where it would have been or what happened to these kids I knew.
Always being open minded, I was friendly with all the different clicks in school I knew alot of them. I'm trying to rack my brain to see if any of these kids are still local so I can ask.
There was a place on Golden Beach some of my friends used to go to. The Golden Bear, maybe? It wasn't really a Goth place, at least didn't look it in the pictures my friends sent me, but it appeared to have quite a number of Goth/death rock people in the crowd?
