On the Day after Halloween, Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus returned to the Salt Box with host DJ Pete Pop for the November Shim Sham Shimmy. This was sort of cultural whiplash. At the Halloween Smash! Crash! Bash! the Phast One played records mostly from the seventies and after. The next night he was playing mostly records from the early sixties and before! Also, due to the Shimmy’s close proximity to the spooky holiday, several monster-oriented songs were included.

Plus, several attendees came in costume—including our friends Eric & Leyla with their nephew.

In all, it was a fun night—as every night at the Salt Box is fun. Hope to see all the Boogaloo Bag readers at the next Shim Sham Shimmy, which is held on the first Saturday of the month.
