Flickin' Summer

A friend of ours passed on this flyer to us and we had just had to share because we love the combination of drinks, dancing, cheesy 80s movies, and dressing up.

• Thursday, August 27-FLASHDANCE
• Thursdauy, September 3-THE WIZ

The Big Bounce

My friends and I went to The Shore Club last night to kick back after a hectic work day. While we were there, we encountered a local band, The Big Bounce. They've been pretty big on the local music scene for a while so I'm sure this is old news to most you.

Composed of Brendan O'Hara & Komakozie (amazing beatbox!) , they were filled so much with good energy and sound. They played the kind of music that any crowd could enjoy, trust us.

You can find The Big Bounce at the Florida Room at the Delano on Tuesdays starting at 10:00 pm.
