Friday, June 20: Hot Cat Jazz Band with Instructor/DJ "Slick Mike"

Dear Swing City Patrons!

Ross Tucker's Hot Cat Jazz Band is featured this Friday, up in Boston from Connecticut, very HOT! Plus, "Slick Mike" is back in the house, after having taken a break for his "nuptials". See you Friday for another fun night of dancing, socializing, music, and drinks!

(The Annex is still closed, but we expect to open it again next week for West Coast with Paolo Piselli. Stay tuned for more on that.)

More Highlights:

• Doors open at 7:30, dancing until 1am
• FULL BAR (valid 21+ ID to drink)
• Ample free lot-parking
• Great dance floor, fabulous sound, and superb ambiance in the "Swing City Ballroom"

Appeal to our Patrons: Please help support the bar. As Swing dancers we all know we're not a "drinking crowd", but the host venue really does depend on beverage sales (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to keep the rent and hence the cover charge affordable. We are privileged to have this nice hall, so if you have the means, please try to patronize the bar with a modest $5 in food & beverage purchases. The hall is run by volunteers and 100% of the bar's profit goes to support the church's expenses in having us there.

What people are saying:
"It was one of the best swing dances I have attended in well over a year (and I dance several times a week)."

"Nice people all w/good intentions. From the person at door to anyone I would ask questions; all have positive,upbeat(no pun intended) attitudes. And this love of Swing Dancing is obvious by all assistance kindly offered and rendered. Five Stars."
