Everybody pay attention to the following announcement:
There will be a "true" RollerDisco party in St-Niklaas (near Ghent) on the 19th of October.
All info can be found on the events MySpace-page.
Let's be there "en masse"!
October 17th 2008
Skatepark Newpact, Lindenstraat, Sint-Niklaas
We're bringing the eighties back to the dancefloor with a rockin' roller disco party. Think short shorts, rollerblades in all colours of the rainbow, blue mascara, leg warmers and hits from the old days like Bronski Beat. We'll have some mirror balls and disco lights, bright neon and videoclips from the eighties played by our very own DJ Jean De Gand (and he promised he'd let his moustache grow for the occasion!). DJ's Vol de Nuit will play you songs you had totally forgotten about and DJ'ettes Blanche Neige add some fuel to the fire with saucy hits to scream to. You bet we'll play La Isla Bonita, honey.
We found a skatepark in Sint-Niklaas, halfway between Ghent and Antwerp. A perfect floor to dance and skate on, and we'll build ourselves a real roller rink with a couple of fences. We'll have quad rollerskates for rent, we'll have a demonstration from a bunch of Majorettes on Wheels from Rollerschool Brasschaat (think orange uniforms and leggy ladies!) and of course there will be a roller skate contest with a crown for the prom king and queen. Think of the dance contest in Pulp Fiction where Mia Wallace and Vince Vega show their best moves ever, add some slippery roller skates to the recipe and you've got a pretty good idea of where this is leading. No worries, we've got a first aid kid to cure all your cuts and bruises and our Cotton Candy Girl will be happy to pamper you with some pink sweetness.
So why am I organising all of this? Because apparently, no one else is, and I've always wanted to throw an eighties party. Not the kind of disco where everyone wears hideous wigs, but an eighties party to celebrate the decadance of colours that don't match and music with crazy synths.
How to get there
It's a ten minute stroll from the train station. Check it out on Google Maps so you won't get lost.
