Our pal DJ Pete Pop is the King of Boss Action in the Newburgh area and everyone knows it. So, when the groovy waterfront tiki bar Jet Set desired groovy music on a Friday night, Pete Pop got the call. He assembled a few DJs, including Martiki and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus, added the exotic Watusi dancer Sheba Shake and called the event Jet Set a’ Go-Go. It took place on September 22nd and it went off with a bang.




The Jet Set is a super fabulous exotika bar located in the heart of Newburgh’s waterfront. It’s got a swingin’ modernist vibe and totally happening atmosphere. One can watch boats float up and down the mighty Hudson River as one eats the delicious vittles that the joint has to offer. Plus, these folks know how to mix a drink.



On that particular Friday, it was definitely the place to be. The Jet Set’s palatial rooms were echoing with the fabulous music these DJs played. Sheba Shake even took some time away from holding up the bar to delight folks with her artistic rhythmic gyrations. That’s not all, Miss Nancy the official Boogaloo Bag photographer has become the Boogaloo Baker with her vegan brownies and chocolate cookies—so yummy!!!

This just in: Management of the Jet Set have shown interest in making the Jet Set a’ Go-Go scene happen every Friday! Wow, that Pete Pop is going to be busy!
