Congratulations to
John Svoboda, of Denver, for making what looks to be a perfect recommendation for where I should go dancing on my birthday.
The Omaha native suggested
The Loft at 22nd & Champa in downtown Denver for an evening of fun, so that's where my crew is headed this Saturday.
I knew John had to be cool when he said "ciao" on his voicemail greeting, and I was right.
He's on the staff with
DanceMusicBoard.net, which is celebrating its second anniversary at The Loft on Feb. 10 (the DMB founder also will be celebrating a birthday then). John helps promote DMB and club events and plans to be working the door at The Loft on Saturday.
In
Rocky Mountain News 5 Questions style, I got John to tell me a bit about himself. Responses were edited for space and clarity.
1. How long have you lived in Denver? 8 years
2. Do you drink? What is your favorite drink?Crown & Coke
3. What is your favorite or most-hated pick-up line? I don't really have one. (Good answer, John.)
4. Do you have any plans for Valentine's Day? I'm single, so it will probably be a group thing.
5. Is there a key accessory or item of clothing you wear for a fun night out? It would have to be my
Pabst Blue Ribbon armband or my
aviator glasses. (Awesome answer, John.)
So, look for the dude in the PBR attire or shades this weekend to see if you'd like to change his answer to No. 4. I'll surely be rockin' glitter of some sort.
Feb. 10. The Loft. Shake ya moneymaka.
John will be coming by
YourHub.com World Headquarters in a few days to pick up the $100
Larimer Square gift certificate I put up for grabs
last week.
Thanks to everyone else who posted suggestions. If you wear aviator glasses at night or are otherwise cool like John, you should start a nightlife blog
here.
