Shag Frenzy @ Factory, Saturday 15 July

We checked out the Crux drum 'n bass night this past weekend, and the new venue is ACE! Large dancefloor, good sound, pool room, lounge area with like 10-15 chairs/sofas, smoking patio, lit parking lot, free parking, lots of parking, no crap lot attendants, etc. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO KEEP THIS NIGHT GOING. Please come out and dance with us! Details below...

Top one. Nice one. Sorted. The Summer Of Love 2006 is upon us. Pep up, strap in, fall in love. Viva Italia!!! Boo Zidane!!! We won't headbutt you in the chest, but we will surely give bear hugs.

As most of you are all aware, we are out of The Webster Underground, in search of greener pastures at Factory, located in Hartford's Parkville section of the West End. Basically, we're near Wood N Tap, Real Art Ways, Tisane, Half Door, Dishes, Alex R and Mike R, y'know...a much nicer, safer area with our own free parking lot.
