A Coupla Skates

Hope y'all had just the most swell Valentine's Day. Also in the books for February - our Seattle friends Forward Flux threw a roller skating party. Skating in silence is weird, so we put together some tunes. It might have gotten a little bit 90s. Here's an excerpt just for y'alls. XOXO

Soon it'll be May and we'll be back in NYC. Plus we've already got two nights scheduled with FF in Seattle on June 29th and July 30th! More announcies to come. In the meantime have a coupla skates, even if you're not in a couple right now. Go crazy. Why not.

Happy never-ever-ever-leaving-your-bed-let-alone-your-apartment season!

We know. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, and it's starting to feel oh so cold. Outdoor dancing is done. Finito. Kaputski. It's time to stay in bed with the lights off.

As providers of outdoor dancing, we feel your pain, believe us. So we made you a little something. To tide you over. Music you can listen to in bed with the lights off. Enjoy.

Tracklist is embedded in the id3 tags for those who become curious.

YOUR MIXES FOR FLOATING WITH THE DEVIL HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED!

It's time.

Download your mixes and prepare to FLOAT.

Hope you're as excited as we are! We'll see you tomorrow, starting at 9:00pm at Cherry Tree at 65 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 (near the Atlantic-Barclays BDNQR2345 subway stop). Again that is in BROOKLYN. If you go to Manhattan, we're sure you'll have a perfectly lovely time, but you won't see any of us. When you arrive, head over to the glowing table, where we'll get you checked in and decked out in your own glow wear! Once you glow, you'll be entitled to the What The Float drink specials at the bar. Mobile FLOATCHECK will be waiting nearby and will follow us throughout the night.

Dress for Halloween success. Tweet or Instagram your outfit tagged #floatfashion and @whatthefloat for a chance to FLOAT FOR FREE IN 2016!

At 10:00pm we'll step outside and UNLEASH THE POWER OF THE FLOAT. At roughly 11:00 and 12:00, we'll be taking short bar/bathroom breaks, and you'll once again have easy access to your checked belongings. At about 1:00am, the night's festivities will conclude, but you're welcome to join us at one final bar to cool down from your adventure.

We highly recommend downloading the three mixes ahead of time and loading them onto to your mp3-playing devices. At the bottom of this email you will find download links. You can listen to the mixes from your personal device OR use our wireless receivers with either your own headphones or our wireless headsets.

If you choose to download the music in advance, DO NOT LISTEN TO IT YET! YOU WILL RUIN THE SPONTANEOUS VIRGINAL JOY OF THE FIRST TIME LISTENING EXPERIENCE. Seriously. Don't do it.

If you choose to use our receivers, please bring a credit card or $20 cash to hold as a deposit. (You aren't being charged, we just need to make sure you bring our stuff back).

FINALLY, A NOTE ON WARDROBE. Please, please, please wear shoes that will let you dance and jump and run. It's no fun if you're hobbling all night, so skip the heels and the strappy sandals, no matter how cure they are. The weather looks like it's gonna cooperate, but we'll be dancing outside, no matter what. FLOATCHECK will hang on to anything you don't feel like carrying or wearing. Also, please wear comfortable shoes.
