November 16 brought the end of the Big Band series at the Indiana Roof and our last visit to the venue this year. The roof holds a New Years Eve gala and last year we attended - but the food was mediocre, the band adequate, and the price exorbitant so this year we'll be attending a New Year's party at the Starlight Ballroom for less than half the price. The upshot is last night we said goodbye to The Roof for the year.
The Bill Sleeter Dance Band provided music for the send off. They're a good outfit even though their music was alternately draggy and too fast (an odd combo). They did have one of the best mixes of music, though, and they provided a killer set list that gave you the songs for the night and (if you didn't know) what dance you could do to those songs.
It's kinda sad to know we won't be going back to the Roof in '08. I don't know, maybe in all my experimenting and seeing new venues it's nice to have one constant. Still, we'll be back there in '09 and the calendar ahead holds at least one visit from Terry Lee that we'll try to make in spite of the normally insane holiday schedule.
