Trevor Watson<\/b> is the founder of Revolt In Style<\/i> magazine and a person well-known among a certain San Diego crowd. Lesser known but still of importance in Lynn O’Rourke, the mother of Zombie Club DJ Wendy and Trevor’s former co-promoter from the 1980’s that he started Club iD with, at a bar called Cunningham’s, that Trev says was on Miramar Road, shortly after he arrived from England, where he was born and raised. <\/p>\n
Club iD was San Diego’s first New Wave Dance Club that brought Brit-Euro club style DJ-ing to what was then provincial, backwatery San Diego in the post-punk\/disco early-Reagan era. San Diego may still be a second run town for club trends but there’s tons of dance clubs now as well as quite a few “cool\/hip” scene magazine’s of the category that Revolt In Style<\/i> filled when it was the first and only publication of its kind here.<\/p>\n
On the night of February 16th Trevor opened his art show in the old Bank Of America vault inside Rock Paper Scissors on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach. At this I shot a video, a clip of the beginning of which I’ve posted at http:\/\/youtube.com\/reviewer (right here<\/a>) and also a few photos that are mixed in with frame grabs here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The guy with the two dogs is Guy Lombardo, who is also a judo\/jui-jitsu expert (I’ve been told he’s a blackbelt) and known art community fixture around these parts.<\/p>\n Everyone agreed that it was “good to see Trevor creating again.”<\/p>\n (SoCal trivia: Lynn is the sister of a California surfscene icon, 1970’s champion competitive surfer and La Jolla-Windansea local Chris O’Rourke.) <\/p>\n ~RR
