Legwarmers on their first act |
This New Years Eve I ventured into Falls Church to see the popular local 80s cover band
Legwarmers perform to a large and brightly colored crowd. The
State Theatre hosted the seven member band, which plays at this venue almost regularly.
More than half the crowd was dressed in over the top and fun 80s influenced fashions, including several Marty McFly and Top Gun impersonaters. My favorite was the super pink Jem (from the 80s cartoon
Jem and the Holograms) singing along in the front.

It was a packed house in Falls Church |
The Legwarmers played two acts separated by an intermission that left us all exhausted from dancing so much. Catching a cab home was almost impossible from Falls Church, so I ended up paying the surge pricing and calling in a Uber cab. But to soften the blow of waiting in the cold for a taxi,
Captain Cookie food truck was parked next to State handing out free cookies!
Happy New Year 2013!
