When my parents lived in the Mission back in the 1970s, they liked to go dancing at a place called Dance Your Ass Off. They’d tell me about this as a kid and I’d be all Disco? Seriously? And what kind of a name is that? Now that I’m an adult, I, rightly, wish there were a straight-up ’70s-style disco with a dumb name around here somewhere.
Tonight, our good pal Cosmic Amanda, of the popular Mutiny Radio program Radioculars and the popular American Tripps disco spinoff I Like Love, is fulfilling my dreams, kind of, by taking the DJ reins at Asiento (just a block off the New 20th Street Corridor). She promises hours of disco and hours of fun. And she’ll be all decked out, like a proper Studio 54 regular. I think the party might be called “Dance Turnoffs,” which is awesomely dumb, but the Facebook invite isn’t totally clear.
My mom used to go to Dance Your Ass Off in the 70s. I was a little kid and we lived at UC Santa Cruz. She said it was in North Beach somewhere. A friend’s dad went there too, so it must have been a happening place.
Asiento doesn’t have turntables.
Howdy! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where
I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same
blog platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!
