I would get home from work around 6PM and I lived 3 blocks away from the Hippo, a gay club in the downtown area of Baltimore,Maryland. I'd get together with my school friends at 9PM,do a late,light dinner and some "goodies" then,no later than 10:30PM,I'd be the first one on the dance floor. I'd warm up with some jumps,whirls and twirls and wind up enticing others to "get down" and the massive crowds would leave me with no other choice than to get up on one of the tall speakers and dance there to keep my arms from knocking anybody out.When I would spin around,it would be so severe,that anyone close enough would become a target.However,most of the others would be sure to keep enough distance to enable me to do my version of Rapidry! lol.Songs like "Reach" by Kim Cheaks,:"High Energy" by Evelyn Thomas, who was at one of the other clubs and pulled me right up off the dance floor to join her on stage during a show,and so many others that are now only "moldy oldies" to most others but classic underground disco to me.I have my own dance floor here just outside my bathroom that overlooks the pacific and has a huge mirror globe as well as lights and a great set of speakers.We built it last Fall to keep the football fans from getting an attitude about my other lani where they wanted to watch the games.I've since pulled all cable connections away from their so nobody can go there to watch tv.The roofing is clear polly strips like the green ones used on railroad bridges on the freeways.It aquired some leaks and was shorting out the electronics.I fixed the leaks and put a 48" wide DCS gas double oven 8 burner,convection range there with a deep double bowl commercial sink,Frigidaire refrigerator and a nice round table with matching chairs.
