This was the flyer from last night’s “Old Men” DJ concert. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It took place at The Arena Art Bar<\/em> which is located in our former beloved Suite B Lounge<\/em> space. There is musical entertainment at The Arena<\/em> nearly always.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We arrived early and found DJ Kris Kokopelli (USA) playing in the 8PM time slot. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another great House set from Kris.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not even 9PM yet and the place was absolutely jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Karly & Tori were putting out the drink orders as fast as they could.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was 9PM and DJ Dave Cannalte (USA) was up next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dave’s set more on the Progressive House side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had the dance floor bouncing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course we know Dave Cannalte from his annual appearances at the AAHZ Reunion<\/em> on Thanksgiving Eve. Before that, we knew him from his weekly Cast Member Nights at Mannequins Dance Palace<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Both the dance floor and the bar stayed busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All too soon it was 10PM and the next guy came up: DJ Lee Coombs (GB\/USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An Electro & House set with the first vocals of the night coming about 25 minutes into his session.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DJ Andy Hughes (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just before he came on we asked him whether he was doing a House set like all the others or a Breaks set for which he is best known. He said he didn’t know yet, lol. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We need not have worried…..he mixed together both<\/strong>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That look you get from great Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
