Viva Rockabilly Fridays in San Francisco!

At last! Our Friday night record hop is back and last night was the kick off in the new location, Retox on 20th near 3rd in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco.

Three of our four rotating DJs were spinning, Rockin' Raul, Tanoa Samoa Boy and OkieOran. It was Raul's birthday, so when he wasn't on the decks he was jiving 2 or 3 girls at once
That's Gabby from "Sewing is Hard" on the left
 Lola Devlin got a jive with the birthday boy
It was such a great crowd. Retox has a pretty decent dance floor and there is more room to dance than at Jay N Bee. I will miss Jay N Bee, but Retox is a great substitute. The owner Scott was great and loved having us there. 
Here's some pics from the night
 Oakie Oran at the decks

Jessica double fisting!

Bootilicious!

  Jake was excited about Rockabilly Fridays coming back!
 Oran having a twirl with Michelle
I'm having a twirl with E...does Tempermental Broad recognize that skirt?

 My turn with the birthday boy!

I am sure I will be posting more blogs about Fridays...or at least pictures. I'm so happy to have it back and have the opportunity to see my City friends once a week again.

Bombshell's Bop

The club I belong to, the Bombshells is planning a big show on October 9! It will be held at the Historic 23 Club (Formerly DeMarco's 23 Club) in Brisbane.



I hope you local people can make it out! It also happens to be on my birthday, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with rockin' music and my good friends.

You can check out the bands playing here:

BBH 2010

I've blogged a bit about the history of Booze Broads and Hotrods in a prior post. I talked about years past and 2009 when we made the big jump from a club to a hotel. This year, we went all out and decided we wanted to put on our dream show, which was to book Carlos and the Bandidos.

The Bombshell's philosophy toward our show (this philosophy was started by Rachelle) was to bring music acts to the Bay Area who have never played or haven't played for a very long time. Our main motives are selfish because we want to see the band play and we are the only ones willing to book the show, but also a "thank you" to the San Francisco Rockabilly and hot rod scenes for giving us what we love.

None of us girls profits personally from the show, it all gets re-invested in next year's show. This last year was really the tops, here is the flier:



 The show was scheduled the week after Vegas, and we like having that weekend. There were people who came from LA, and some from England and Spain who had been over for Viva. That is one reason we time it that way. Also, it is a nice way to treat those "post-viva blues" people get after Viva Las Vegas.

I am just going to post pics from the show, and will do a later post about my adventures with Bandidos and how I have forced Neil to be my BFF. 

I will tell the BBH story with photos...lots of photos!
