Does anyone know about a Chines Restaurant out on El Cajon blvd or something that has a huge dance floor with big band? I swear Nancy or Ian told me about it years ago.

Lucky Star? Trippy place with disco lights and a smoke machine. Tami Thomas played there.

Yah! I think the Moonlight Serenade(?) orchestra still plays there on Thursdays although they might be called Spring Strip now. The music was rather slow (took an eternity for them to change their sheet music too) from what I remember and the waiters stare at you until you buy your drink minimums. Food is mediocre! Smoke machine was very annoying!!!

Are you kidding? The smoke machine was the best part! Talk about surreal, hehe.
