Be There or Be Square

-- Last Thursday was Rockabilly Party Time!

Sally Broyeur landed with an underground hall she had booked for a concert which was cancelled.
We had the place already, let's have a multipurpose-party: support party, introduction of the Paris RollerGirls freshmeats, preview of the 2013 calendar, merchandizing and surprises!

The place was a charming rock'n roll basement under the Belushi's Club, very comfy with a bar and a small stage, and the theme was 50's-60's Rockabilly. Simple and efficient.

We danced all night to the sounds of the three DJs, DJ Winny Mc CORMICK (house, hip hop), DJ SID (dj drum and bass) and SYLVANIE DE LUTECE.
Meanwhile, the photos of the 'making of' of the Calendar were following one another on the wall thanks to Butch's projector. And from time to time we would have a break: we officially welcomed our freshmeats on stage, our president made a small speech, the calendar team unveiled the cover of the calendar which Mrs. Hyde had printed on a canvas sheet at work...




And in a dark corner of the room, there was a photobooth with a real photographer!

As soon as you would walk into the room, you had the feeling of being transported to an alternative past or future, a place in-between with hints of different times mixing together. Music, looks, tattoos, technologies...
The place was a full-scale live anachronism. Awesome! The little teenage Elvis fan in me was pretty satisfied!

The whole Parisian derby scene was there, with people from the other leagues: the men's Panam Squad, the Lutèce Destroyeuses, the Boucherie... Definitely, a nice melting pot from A to Z!

To conclude, despite a 15-day organization, it was a success (of course!)
And although we had to cancel a practice *because* of the party, Sailor Blood is right: We all had a good 2-in-1 cardio training jumping all around!
