Lots of 70’s bell bottoms and crop tops kept me happy! It was not all Abba as songs like “We Are Family” and “Disco Inferno” got played too, with everyone knowing the words! Everyone knew the words to Cher (USA) hit “Believe” but not sure how the 1998 song fit into the lineup but it did fit! At one point there was a mad rush to the stage for Abba hits “Mama Mia” and “Dancing Queen”. Abba songs dominated the evening as he followed with namesake song “Gimme Gimme” and Voulez-vous”. He opened with Abba (S) hit “Take A Chance On Me”. DJ was quite animated as he introduced songs and got everyone singing. There were some 70’s costumes but nothing like we saw in November at the “World’s Largest Disco” in Buffalo as seen here. The crowd was about 85% female so no complaints there!

It’s the biggest cosplay dance party of the year!! Advance tickets can be purchased here. They reminded me that the two of them will be joined by DJ Elliot (USA) at the famed Megacon Afterparty taking place on April 1st. Awhile later we spotted Jimmy Joslin popping wheelies with DJ Evolv3 (USA) out on Orange Avenue. During our visit the “tween” crowd was here a mixture of those who arrived earlier from work and those just arriving for their evening’s downtown exploits.
