In the early 1980s, before MTV, before the internet, before desktop publishing, a small group of young idealistic and romantic journalists/artists banded together and created an alternative “scene magazine” called San Diego Hot Spots. It started as an idea of reporting and exposing the antics of go-go bars, dive bars, and the post-punk local music scene.
Just like a ‘music band’ a few people came together created “art,” some would come and contribute and leave while others would join. Hot Spots would finally disband and its members would go on and create other new projects.
The magazine grew in its scope and quality over its 2 year becoming pretty slick in its last few issues. But in this two year time span these journalists and artists with Hot Spots recorded the hopes, dreams and activities of other dancers, musicians, photographers, journalist, and artists. This band of artists would also come to promote concerts and nightly shows at Bodies “World Famous Dive Bar” on University and College.
Hot Spots published for about two years before economic realities, and alcohol, caught up to it. Hot Spots is at the very lease a record of the activities of a small group of people expressing themselves and having fun in the early 1980s in San Diego California
