Volleyball Hair Ribbons Tied To Bag

The 13th Gore-Night

According to the few facts available to me, and it would have based calculations, the 13th have Gore-night on a Saturday in January 1986 took place. The clothing and hairstyles of the guests give many details about the then prevailing fashion trends (Gothic & Psychobilly!), But unfortunately little of the season. That evening the band played one of its noise-free garage sets, while on the screen produced an educational video called dental healing ran, from which one could learn as I remember, as can be seen from the gums and teeth healthy, all replaced by implants. The program also were films of Kenneth Anger, Jodorowsky El Topo and an anniversary lottery in which there was to win a real pig's head.


Kai-Ulrich Metz wrote a month later in Hamburg scene: "The discomfort was the winner of the pig head against a price of a platter. But another girl immediately took a liking to this macabre fun: it has taken over the ongoing maintenance of the Gore-trophy. , Gets up to the final decay she has a special place on my balcony, "tells the lucky one." The fact that the pig in the photo a fag in his mouth, reminding me that the old Alabama Theater was above all a place of oral excess. Cigarettes, beer and cheap burgers there, I have breathed in such quantities that they placed in a row on the floor the way from Hamburg to Bruce Lee could have his grave.

As Rainer Knepperges the UFA 13 in Cologne I would like to rebuild the Alabama Theater in Hamburg-Eidelstedt, Kieler Straße 622, from brittle. A first step would be old photos and a floor plan of 1991 demolished movie theater and the adjacent bar "Tex-Mex". Information about where I might find those things as well as fixtures, contemporary newspaper reports and other materials, I would love as much as on additions and memories of the Gore-Nights: vhummel@foni.net
