Lookout Weekend -- A Book Talk by Pablo Aguilar and Gerard Meraz

The backyard party scene in Los Angeles during the 1980s was an integral part of the city's vibrant youth culture and played a significant role in shaping the local music, fashion, and social scene. These parties, often referred to as "backyard boogies" or "house parties,"|were informal gatherings held in residential neighborhoods, usually in the backyards of private homes. These fliers serve as time capsules, transporting you back to a moment when the allure of the night was at its peak.From Backyards to Discotheques, the DJ's, and promoters in LA thrived in the 1980's. We created a community that that should be acknowledged and recognized. The Los Angeles promoters and DU's of this era are still going strong and continue to grow.
