Say Aye
A note from Kinetic Rutabaga Queen Kati Texas announces a “Glorious Gala” Saturday at the Kinetic Sculpture Museum in Ferndale with a Kinetic Kabaret variety show including: Shaye Freelove, Ya Habibi Belly Dancers, jugglers, singers, comedians, and eclectic acts by the Rutabaga Royal Family. There’s also a vintage Kinetic memorabilia auction and Dutch raffle with proceeds going to the KS-Museum, and in particular, a new addition, Hobart’s Room, “a working replica of the workshop where Hobart created his brass and copper masterpieces.” The R-Queens know how to throw a party, so it should be fun.
Speaking of parties, one of the best dance parties I’ve ever attended was this summer’s Soul Clap Dance Off, a dance contest at the Arcata Theatre Lounge with New York Night Train DJ Jonathan Toubin spinning nothing but 45s from the ‘60s and ‘70s and keeping the dance floor moving from start to finish. He and Panache’s Michelle Cable then took the party international, playing records in Europe and the Middle East. They return to the ATL Sunday for another contest, again with a $100 cash prize and celebrity judges. Be prepared to dance your ass off.
