The Firehouse will be closed this Thursday, Dec. 26th, but will re-open for dancing on Thursday, Jan. 2nd. But not to fear swing-o-holics, Cafe Savoy will be open all through the holiday season. This Friday, we will have a very special, super-secret guest DJ all the way from Fairbanks, Alaska. More details to come... |

who is going to be in town for this Friday's Cafe Savoy? |
| By Shawn (Adminorama) on Monday, December 23, 2002 - 10:10 pm: Edit |
My brother is coming to town to house sit while we are away. Be sure to make him feel welcome!  |

i'll be there... my first cafe savoy at the new location! who'll come out and dance with me? |
| By Carli (Lvmycardiff) on Monday, December 23, 2002 - 10:31 pm: Edit |
I'm going to be at Magic Mountain! I'm bummed I'm going to miss your brother...He is super fun to dance with. |

Jenna and I will be there! Meg, I have a feeling it's going to be packed. Where else can everyone go to fill the parenthetical void between Christmas and NewYears, (unless you're among those who put up the $1000.00 to go to Swingout Northwest). I think Cafe Savoy is the only game in town. Plus, I think that by Friday some may feel the need to escape the family scene to blow off a little steam in order to preserve their sanity. Anyway, for a bunch of reasons I think Cafe Savoy is going to be filled to capacity. I hope so. By Friday I'll definately be ready to dance. |

Shawn, what's your brother's name again? |

Aaron. He'll be in town on the 25th! |

Yeah, Santa is bringing me some of my favorite leads for Christmas!! First Tim, now Aaron...I guess I have been good this year. ;-) |

And what about Tony? Are you going to be out on Fri, Tony? Maya, you need to drag him out! |

I'll probably be there. I now have a box of Barbara Morrison Live at the 9:20 Special CDs to sell for Elliott. Is anyone interested in buying one? I'm sure a lot of the people that went up to the concert at Lindygroove already bought one, but I'm thinking there might be others out there that want one too. Its got a load of great Lindy music. Read my review for details... |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Wednesday, December 25, 2002 - 12:54 pm: Edit |
I'd like to pick up another one, Ron. I want to mail it to a friend. |

Meg... you need to drop by my pad and check out the place! call me! |
| By meghann (Meghann) on Thursday, December 26, 2002 - 09:26 pm: Edit |
can you guys tell me what the venue is like... specifically, is it entertaining for non-dancers? could i come and dance for just an hour, can my boyfriend can hang out and not be bored silly? |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 09:00 am: Edit |
It's a cozy cafe, split into two sections, one for dancing and the other for lounging. The sections are connected by two large openings in the wall which separates them. There's a pool table and chess board in the lounge area. The coffee/smoothie bar in the lounge area has food as well. Yeah, you can just dance for an hour an leave. Your boyfriend should be comfortable just chillin'. |
| By meghann (Meghann) on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 11:08 am: Edit |
thanks jeff. all you had to say was "pool table" he's convinced! |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 11:23 am: Edit |
Good! See you both tonight. |
| By Shaolin Monkey (Yedancer) on Friday, December 27, 2002 - 12:14 pm: Edit |
Sometimes we cover the pool table, but I think tonight it will be open. |
| By Amy (Blueangel) on Sunday, December 29, 2002 - 11:12 pm: Edit |
sheeshh...and I thought you weren't dating non dancers Meg. you still in town? |
| By meghann (Meghann) on Monday, December 30, 2002 - 01:28 pm: Edit |
yea, till the 2nd. gimme a call. i'll email you. thanks for the dances the other night. sorry i couldnt stay long. that venue was very surreal for me. in my highschool days it was a punk club. my high school sweetie's band played there all the time. very odd. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Monday, December 30, 2002 - 02:29 pm: Edit |
Sorry you both had to leave before the out of towners dance. Glad you made it for at least awhile. |
| By Sherri (Badkitty) on Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 10:00 am: Edit |
Is the Firehouse open tonight, or will I have to go to the Car Show with Gene (yawn...) :-0 |
| By Ron (Ron) on Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 11:24 am: Edit |
Its definitely open tonight, and I'm DJing. And I won't play a single Christmas song! |
| By Nachoman (Nachoman) on Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 12:05 pm: Edit |
How bout playing some DJ challenges though? I challenging myself to dance to them, and if it's too hard it's always fun to watch people try. |
| By Ron (Ron) on Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 01:40 pm: Edit |
You mean like playing rock or funk songs to see if people can find a way to swing dance to them? I don't play a lot of those, I admit, but the other DJs seem to take care of that pretty well. I haven't played a hip-hop rhythm song for a while, either, because I haven't gotten anything new. But I can always dig out an older hip-hop song. |
| By Nachoman (Nachoman) on Friday, January 03, 2003 - 09:34 am: Edit |
Sorry i didn't get back to you before last night, but yeah, I mean something a bit more challenging that you usually don't swing dance to. BTW, i enjoyed the new "happy hour" of faster songs, It'll be good practice for me. I liked how the songs were fast enough to be a challenge but not in the "i must balboa/shag" range. |
