Roaring 20’s Speakeasy

Ladies and gents, welcome to the safe-house known as the Gin Club. The joint is always jumpin’.

And remember, if the cops raid the joint, you’re on your own.

70’s Flashback

The 70’s were a time of dance floors, disco balls, polyester and movies like Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta. Shows like American Band Stand, Star Trek, Happy Days, All in the Family, and Dance Fever were popular. Groups like Sonny and Cher, KISS, the Bee Gee’s, Rolling Stones, Jackson Five and others filled the airwaves and dance clubs with rock, disco and Motown. We were fascinated by Nixon, Smoky and the Bear, and Mohammed Ali. People were hip to ask, “What’s your sign?” Stop in Funky Town and do the hustle while enjoying the light show.

The 80’s are Back!

We were living in a material world. We learned who Luke’s father was. Devo accompanied our first awkward steps into the digital world. “Save the clock tower!” “Phone home.” “I’ll be back.” “As you wish.” “No time for love, Dr. Jones.”
