Cafe 80’s 9 Years Away


I just caught a bit of BTTF II (Back to the Future II) on the Super Station or whatever. It was right at the part were Marty was about to intercept and replace Marty Jr. at Cafe 80’s (an 80’s themed retro caffee with Reagan and pinball). So today I got this clock radio speaker thingy that I can connect to my i-Pod which is some pretty high tech stuff and that’s something. It’s 2006 now that’s right so really we’re just 9 years away from 2015 (the setting of the future part of BTTF II). We are quickly approaching the hooverboards (which were given big ups on Empire magazines top 200 things that rocked their world) flying cars, and self drying clothes I find myself longing for Cafe 80’s. I don’t know when Solid Gold Oldies will be Thomas Dolby but I can’t wait for Cafe 80’s and it’s fast approaching.

  1. i imagine a cafe 80s already exists, minus computer servers and cokes that pop up from inside the table…
