On February 13—the first of two Friday the 13ths in a row!!—the rock’n’soul dance known as Do The 45 rolled into Quinn’s as the gods intended. Miss Nancy made chocolate cupcakes with little hearts on them (Valentines Day the next day). Bella Bombora danced up a storm—often joined by local folks. Our pal DJ No Rules began the proceedings with a set of some really groovy stuff. Pete Pop played his usual fantastic records.
