BACK TO SCHOOL BOOGIE - https://www.BackToSchoolBoogie.com Listen To Soundtrack - https://www.oldschoolgogo.com/Movie/sound_track_jukebox.html Synopsis Take me out to the GoGo! And that's what Thomas, Will and Jerry did. They followed those very words every weekend partying at the many popular clubs around the D.C. area like the Club Lebaron, Cheriy's and the Maverick Room, to see GoGo bands like Rare Essence, Trouble Funk, Experience Unlimited, Ayre Rayde, Redds & The Boys, PeaceMakers, Mass Extinction, Class, Petworth, Junk Yard and the list goes on... It's August and the sun has D.C. feeling like it's frying in a skillet. Another school year is right around the corner and every year D.C. brings in the new school year with the Back To School Boogie at the Capital Center Arena! Thomas, Will, Jerry and their lady friends, also classmates, Courtney and Michelle need to get tickets because they are going fast. So to get money for the tickets Thomas, Will, Jerry and a few of their other friends decide to buy a $45.00 lead of weed on Galveston St. in SW D.C., roll it all up into joints to sell for $1.00 each. This sounds like a good idea, but they didn't take into consideration that some of the friends were weed heads, who would smoke more of the joints than they would sell. To make matters worse, they spent the little money they did make on snacks, to overcome the munchies they got from smoking the weed. Now Thomas and his friends have to figure out a new way to make money. Since Thomas has a good friend that lives in VA, who works in a small local Ice Cream store, they decide to get together and come up with a plan to rob it. They're plan is pretty good, but it goes from good to getting hit with broomsticks by the Mexican clerk, getting burnt by hot water after cutting pipes in a nearby laundry mat to siphon gas, and getting caught siphoning the gas out of a Taxi Cab. They haul ass out of there, but now they're stuck in VA, they needed that gas to get back across the bridge. It's a crazy night! With every plan gone wrong and no money to speak of, the boys don't know what to do. To make things worse, the tickets sold out the very next day following the attempted store robbery. Now the crew must figure out how to get their tickets or find other ways of getting to the Back To School Boogie. In the tradition of such comedy classics as Cooley High, House Party, and Friday comes a brand new comedy that will have you dying with laughter. So get ready to laugh hard and enjoy a good story from the early 80's of Old School GoGo!

Welcome To OldSchool GoGo!!! After Reading Our Story Below, Click The Following Link To Tell Us Your Stories, Or Just Click On The "GoGo Stories" Link At The Top Of Any Page! https://oldschoolgogo.com/index.php/gogostories Welcome To The Baddest Old School GoGo Website On The Planet, where you can listen To Old School GoGo JukeBoxes with Full Shows dating back to 1977 All Day EveryDay! This site is dedicated to the Memory and History of Washington DC & GoGo of the early 80's! You can even create your own JukeBoxes with our Shows or Shows you upload. You can play our JukeBoxes on your phone, which means you can sync them to the Bluetooth in your car, allowing you to listen to a large variety of Old School GoGo that we create, or that you create! By the way, the JukeBoxes will even play when your phone screen is turned off, unlike YouTube, which means it's easy on your battery! Hey, what's happening? Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Sherman, and I grew up in Washington D.C. and P.G. County, MD listening to GoGo and going to GoGo's from the time I was a 13 year old teenager. I'm talking about back in the day when you could get into a GoGo for $5.00 and see up to 5 or 6 bands. Remember those days? Back in the day, promoters would highlight the GoGo's by calling them a Band & Show. They would last up until 5 o'clock in the morning at some places. For anyone who doesn't know why they were called Band and Shows, it was because the bands back in the day used to give a real show, with well organized and in sync steps. It was tight! Before telling our story, first & foremost, we must send a Special Dedication out to The Whole Damn Southview Crew! Special Dedications going out to Berton, Stacy & Terk, Doug, Marcus & Charles, Danny D, Danny A, Monte, Ivan & Ron, Chris & Stacy, Pee Wee, Steve & Junie, Jeff, Junior, Missy & Rolando, Bucky & Squirt, Kevin S, Smiley, Juan, Carlos & Keisha, Greg & Rick, Tom Tom, Smiley, Cliff & Dave, Bill & Bob, Kevin & Charles, Tyrone, Darryl & Wanda, CuJo, Spiderman, Shane, Keith, Rainbow, Preston, Rosie & Andre, Richard, Carl & Shavon, Kevin & Walter, Kevin & Charles, Eric, Shawn, Spoony & Count, Mario, Maurice, Tyrone & Tony, Pumpkin & Meatball, Tracy, Tia, Cee Cee, Renee, Chaquita & Monica. Our apologies if we left anyone out, but no worries! Just message Admin and we'll get you in here! Me and my partners Terk, Danny A, Danny D, Monte, Doug & Marcus went to almost every GoGo spot you can name. Check out some of the flix we were fortunate enough to hold on to by clicking the following link. https://oldschoolgogo.com/index.php/photo/album/57/southview-crew-memories We would go to Cheriy's with the whole Southview Crew to see Essence, Class and sometimes the old Physical Wundor. We would sit on the floor for what seemed to be hours to wait for the next band to play. The Panorama Room, The Coliseum (It was something about that place that I loved), Anacostia Park for Malcolm X Day, where E.U. would always tear it up. The Howard - Remember the metal stumps on the floor that would trip you up, which were left after the old theater chairs had been removed? I remember I would even ride my bike to Forestville Skating Rink from Oxon Hill, by myself, with my tape recorder to see Redds & The Boys every Friday night, you talking about pressed! I would have my tape recorder strapped to the boy bar on my bike, and would groove all the way home with that fresh tape I had just recorded. My friends thought I was crazy, but everybody wanted a copy of that fresh new tape I had the next day. I also remember trying to sneak into Oxon Hill High to see Essence and none of us had any money. About 12 or 15 of us tried to lift one of those bike racks up to the Gym window out back, which was about 2 stories up. Little did we know how heavy that thing was. We got that thing up in the air and couldn't get it any further, so everybody just dropped it when we heard P.G. (The Police) coming. We ran through the woods and got all cut up and scarred. By the way, we gave up getting in and went back to groove to Essence from the back window. We used to hit The Paragon II to see Trouble on Wednesday nights, man was that a hump from S.E. on the bus. I remember thinking we were in another city after that first ride there, but we kept going back. Crystal Skate, Evans Grill and Triples. The Friendly Annex, which would pretty much be S.E., Oxon Hill and Fort Washington. We would go down to the Ball Diamond in Charles County to see Benny and the Masters. We were fortunate enough to be at Highland to see Essence play for free. We would hit Southeast Gardens, which was really in Oxon Hill, Columbia Park to see Trouble again, the Cap Center to see all the honies from all over. The Chapter III, Eastside, Rythms, and I can't forget about the RSVP, at Waterside Mall in S.W. The Metro Club to see Essence every Thursday night. Wilmers Park, where we got stranded and never went again. Mrs. Mack (Rare Essence's Manager at the time) gave us a ride home, after we stopped yelling and cursing at one another. Each one of us blaming the other for not having a ride home. Man was it dark out there after they turned those lights out. We even hit spots in VA, like Alexandria Skating Rink to see Ovation and some other band, which had to be the worst band I had ever seen. We used to go down to Jimmy's Lounge and Cross Creek to see Prophecy, which was about a 2 hour ride, but we were driving by then. We would also go out to King George VA to support Doc and the Physical Wundor crew. That's enough for now! On this site you will find the baddest Old School GoGo dating back to 1977, but aside from listening to what we consider the Greatest era of music in history, you can also Watch Videos, Upload & Trade Music, buy Old School GoGo Posters, Shirts & Apparel, see Old School GoGo Flicks, play Old School Arcade Games and everything else related directly to Old School GoGo. If you are an Old School GoGo fanatic, then this site was built for you. So anything you would like to see relating to Old School GoGo, just let us know, and we will try our best to accommodate you. We will be having many Old School GoGo topics, where you can voice your opinion and be heard. We want everyone to recognize where and how GoGo got started, as well as the people and bands that put in the time, sweat and energy, to make it possible for the many GoGo bands to exist and play today. We feel the phenomenal GoGo artists from back in the day, don't get the deserved props that they should. So we'll try to make sure they are recognized and never forgotten through the efforts of OldSchoolGoGo.com.
