It was glorious.

I got laid on the mechanical bull by Miss Pasadena 1976.

My mom and stepfather took us on a to see Gilleys around 1984 iirc. I wasn’t a big fan but I am glad to see that JL Lewis and J Swaggart were all successful.

I moved out there to work on as an oilman with my uncle. He and my aunt took me to Gilley's the first night I was there. I would meet my wife there 2 nights later. My uncle died tragically but did teach me to ride a mechanical bull. I won the contest at Gilley's. Lots of memories. There was some fine tail up in there. Especially this Pam chick who had her daddy's money.

Real interesting documentary about Gilley’s I saw a while back. Evidently Urban Cowboy absolutely ruined the place.

Passed by there when going on vacation with my parents, but never went in. Definitely sported the t shirt though.

Pam’s daddy is into oil, and all that that implies.

Oh man, what was it called? I'd love to see it. A few years ago I found this journal online that the director kept during filming. It eluded to Debra Winger being a huge pain in the arse on and off the set.

It turned into a real shithole after the flick. I knew the owners daughter in High School. Sherwood was a prick, but his daughter hated him. A couple of the local liquor stores were named after her (Chery's I believe) so we hit em up regular for the booze and kegs. GD Pasadena sucks. It so very sucks. Haven't been there in 30 years.
