Friday night in the city and we began our evening at The Abbey<\/em> where it was time for their Gimme Gimme<\/em> Disco <\/em>event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving around 9:30PM, we walked into THIS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You never know who’s going to DJ this event which takes place every few months but we recognized DJ Mike (USA) up there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He’s as animated as they come and he was off the chain last night!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course there were lots of Abba (S) songs such as “Super Trooper” (1980), “Waterloo” (1974), “Mama Mia” (1975) and “Dancing Queen” (1976).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were a few 80’s tunes at times but it was mostly 70’s Disco all night. The good stuff!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Soul Train” coming through! Platforms, Go Go boots, flares and mini-dresses were in abundance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Gonna start dancing real soon, but first, let me take a selfie.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was a predominately young crowd and predominately female crowd, but there was a mix of everyone. Disco hits such as “Hot Stuff” (1979), “More Than A Woman” (1977), “He’s The Greatest Dancer” (1979) and “Boogie Shoes” (1975) kept the dance floor jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We met several peeps. Some we knew but some were new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“We Are Family” (1979), “September” (1978) and “Shake Your Groove Thing” (1978) had the club bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In November we visited the World’s Largest Disco<\/em> in Buffalo (PHOTOS<\/a>) and last month the World’s Smallest Disco <\/em>in Berlin (PHOTOS<\/a>). Gimme Gimme Disco<\/em> is SO fun too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Other DJ’s we’ve seen at this event include DJ Squeeze (USA) and DJ Alex Lord”. We’ve not yet seen posted when the next Gimme Gimme Disco<\/em> will take place but you won’t want to miss it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
…..by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We next headed west on Pine Street to The Robinson Cocktail Room<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We climbed the stairs and walked into THIS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor is located in an adjacent area they call the “Disco Room”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Friday night resident DJ Chino (USA) was in the perch delivering House and EDM hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But he also went into a Hip Hop set reminiscent of when he was the Friday night DJ at The Groove<\/a> in Universal CityWalk<\/em>. We harassed him about that!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor was packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
EDM hits such as “No Broke Boys”, “On My Mind” and “Drugs From Amsterdam” had everyone in a great mood. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It gets like this every Friday night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
