Having to drive up to San Luis Obispo on pay weekends to Games People Play. Getting my manga and going upstairs to read it in the bar at SLO Brewing Company...

SLO Brew was great! Nothing like getting one of their cheap midweek dinner specials and a few pints
Oh yeah, I'd have to argue that the dawn of anime was a little bit earlier than what you posted. When I was in jr high in the mid '80s, my group of friends (damn buncha nerds
) and I would go to a monthly animation club meetings at Rusty's Pizza in Santa Barbara. The clubs name was something like CFO or CFOO. Nothing was subtitled, we only had a synopsis to go by
We'd also regularly attend anime dubbing sessions. I even spent a huge portion of the money I made delivering papers on a $500 vcr
I wish I could have put the money into something more worthwhile, like NFA or Microsoft stock.
