The first Do The 45 of the year got off to a terrific start! Lots of folks showed up to jump around. It took place on January 9 and Quinn’s was hoppin’ all night with folks slurping their ramen noodles and boppin’ to the wild sounds put down by the DJs, Pete Pop and Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus. Miss Nancy made flower-shaped chocolate sugar cookies and chex mix. Bella Bombora danced around and was often joined on the raised dance floor by swingin’ folks who dig the music.

Pete and Phast have settled into their new DJ format quite nicely—with each selector alternating sets of five songs. Sometimes the songs are related; sometimes they’re not. But it’s all in fun.
