Answer 9

How about drink beer and smoke cigarettes, thats what we did in the 80's.

oh, and listen to G&R and Loverboy, and play cards...

Answer 10

Make the theme an 80's MTV theme.  MTV aired for the first time in 1983 and I dont think the 80's would've been the same without it!  This is definitely 80's and will give you the opportunity to disply old 80's music videos around the venue, use all those crazy colors and shapes that are almost synonimous with mtv.  Also, come up with a selection of your favorite 80's music and incorporate those artists/groups into your theme.  

Good luck!
