We began our Friday night on Church Street at Broken Strings Brewery<\/em> for their Galentines event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Although we first had to get past the Door Hostess. Fortunately, she got distracted and we were able to sneak in without showing our drivers license or passport.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside we found the opener in the 7PM time slot, DJ Ms. MF (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She was playing mostly House and EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Broken Strings<\/em> is an actual brew pub and they make many of their own brews.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the dance floor was mostly empty during our visit, the bar itself was jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Art for sale out on the patio, available from DJ Vint Soul (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
In the Tech booth, DJ Swagkerr (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ’s were playing 45-minute sets last night so in no time DJ Fun-D-Mentlz (USA) took her turn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Most of her set were Top 40 tunes that had been remixed to a House or EDM beat. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The club has one of these novelty vending machines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And you never know what you’re going to end up with your purchase.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Some prizes are better than others.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
After three straight female DJ’s, it was time for some guys. And they would switch the music from House to Breaks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Spark-D (USA) up first.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
During their set, the bar stayed busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the lasers were flying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Rosk (USA) came on next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A little bit of dance floor activity. We told the owner the dance floor would be busier if they installed a shiny disco ball.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into lots of peeps we know last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
It wasn’t jammed like last weekend’s “Abyss” show here but considering last night was kind of a last minute addition, it wasn’t bad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The DJ kept everyone moving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One more stop. The sign says “Sticky Rice” on the outside, but few know there’s a dance club on the inside!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can climb the stairs or take the lift. We walked into this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dance floor stayed jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
