Picking the Brains of my Social Circle

[ladysprite]

Okay. In continuing the desperate attempt at mood reboot..... I desperately need to get out dancing. I haven't danced in far, far, far too long, and I need to get out of the house and into someplace dark and loud and full of people and music and a dance floor, and turn off my brain and just move until my feet are bleeding and I no longer want to lie down and stop breathing.

Unfortunately, Xmortis has been doing a master-class job of scheduling opposite events I can't afford. So to anyone else even vaguely local, or with better google-fu than me, do you have any idea of any decent dance opportunities in the greater Boston area? I'm not that picky, though I'd rather avoid country and top 40. Anyone who finds a decent 80's night.... I will owe you my life, and pay you in any way you see fit.

I'll be at Klockwerq" on March 3 (and you should all be there too - pixel, auntiemame67, I'm especially looking at you), but I need something sooner if at all humanly possible.... not to mention folks to come with me, if anyone's interested.

Oh an 80s night. HA. I've recently started a Pandora station dedicated to those tunes.

Just with some quick Googling, Common Ground (http://www.commongroundbarandgrill.com/band_listing.html) has an 80's night on Thursdays, there's Heroes (http://www.myspace.com/heroes80s) 80's New Wave at TT the Bears (http://www.ttthebears.com/) every other Saturday, and every Saturday at 6B Lounge in Govt Center/Beacon Hill is an 80s night (http://6blounge.com/80s_music_night.html). It also sounds (http://www.yelp.com/biz/phoenix-landing-cambridge) like Phoenix Landing (http://www.myspace.com/phoenixlanding) has a mix of 80s + Top 40 dance tunes on Friday nights.

However, looking at a recent thread (http://www.yelp.com/topic/somerville-any-good-60s-or-80s-dance-nights-around-somerville-cambridge-boston) on Yelp!, 6B doesn't have much of a dance floor.

But there's some to start with.

Thank you so much - apparently Heroes went from being unheard of to something everyone I know knew about in the space of 24 hours. :) But you were the first one to tell me about it, and for that I am eternally in your debt, sir, especially because going there made my day, my week, and possibly my year....

Oh, I'm so pleased. :)

Always happy when I help someone to happiness.
