Hey people,

If you haven't checked out The Rhythm Room, this Friday will be the perfect night to do it. Kevin and Carla are flying in Friday afternoon so we'll be bringing them out Friday night to dance!!!

This will be a great opportunity to meet them, watch them dance, and have some fun.

See ya there,

Chance and Mel


The Rhythm Room is located at Absolutely Dance Sport (2400 Kettner Blvd near the Casbah).

I was there Friday night. Small crowd. Very nice floor. Good DJ. (I left just as Jeremy was finishing up.) One problem was the Art Obstacle Course, but hopefully that was temporary. I don't normally make it out on Fri nights, so I'm not sure how often I'll make it, but you should check it out.

The art was displayed for the San Diego Art Walk and will not be there from now on. Actually, I'll miss it. There were some great paintings on display (better than the beheaded nude portraits at Clayton's).

Don't miss this Friday:
Kevin and Carla will probably stop by. Also, heavy DJ rotation with Jeremy, Brian and myself.

Yeah, the art was fine. It was just the way it was placed, so as to block most of the ways into the room, that was the problem. Art I like. Art that is in my way, I don't like...

LB, the look on that man's face when you tripped over the the stand was priceless! As long as the art wasn't damaged, it was ok...

Oh, my!

I just came back from dancing there for the first time as its "Rhythm Room" incarnation. Great to see so many of my favorite leads and follows out dancing tonight.

Great DJing Rob and Jeremy! Great floor!

Oh, what slides we'll do, Pip!

Did I forget to mention that Kevin and Carla looked awesome social dancing with San Diegans?

OK, I just did.

I agree. It's cool. I stopped by at 11:30 and I like it. I think the
"vibe" now is really nice. Huge dance floor in great condition.
Lots of seating. I wish the lighting over the seating wasn't so
bright and fluorescent. But the dance floor lighting is just right.
It's a great room.

Hmmmm, I wasn't crazy about it, but to each his own. I remember I didn't like Vasa Hall at first, but then I warmed up to it...

Too bad we couldn't switch the exchange to the Rythm room instead of Gold's... so to expose it to SD. I love the floor...the mirrors are fun...and I love the floor!


Did I mention the floor was smooth?

Friday was fun, the momentum is definitly starting to pick up. I challenge everyone who went last week to personally invite one person from the Rocket or Firehouse this week, who hasn't gone to the RR yet.

That is a great floor ... and so much room! I think the Christmas Lights work (but, I am still on the lookout for some fish).

It is good to keep an venue in the downtown vicinity.

Yes, them was some awesome slides, Hop!

"...personally invite one person from the Rocket or Firehouse this week..."

But hopefully everyone knows that there is no Rocket this month, and next month it changes to another format (see Jim's post for details.)

How about this Friday's line up to get everyone out for a solid night of dancing? Do the rhythm room and after it closes down, head down the street to the Casbah, for Big Sandy!! Big Sandy usually doesn't get started until about 11:30ish, midnightish. C'mon, it should be fun!

Just so this pops back up for topics...
Anyways people should go this place. Its a really nice venue, just uhhh... the lack of people kinda sucks. I didn't realize how much lindy feeds on people dancing and having fun! I went i dunno a week or two ago and this place felt lifeless cause there weren't that many people there, i just couldn't get into it. Maybe its the size... or maybe the fact that i can breath and i'm not dripping sweat like at the firehouse. Let's turn the thermostat up at this place so that people will think its the firehouse. heh---David

The floor there ROCKS! Whoever doesn't make it out to the Rhythm Room is really missing out. Hope to see you all there.

Broken toes are the worst...I've been still dealing with a broken dance toe from 2 years ago;
I think it is going to forever be bigger than the others now.

2 years!?!!??
Good lord!! It turns out it might not be officially broken, but the real doctor needs to read the x-rays at our lame student health. I had to go and kick that brick...
