Thanks for the suggestions. you arent crazy. possibly more than half of the tunes we spin at Futureshockk ARE vinyl already. i have more records than cd's. and we DO spin 70's stuff quite often. we did have a night similar to your 70's idea once. it was a "glam thanxgiving" party back in November 2002! we also have more theme nights than any other club in Fresno. honestly i dont know ANY club in Fresno that has theme nights and hands out prizes! usually when people make suggestions we are already currently doing it or have done it. keep coming to Futureshockk and you see that we do in fact practice what you have suggested. keep the ideas coming, its good to keep things interesting.
