Recently, I heard a radio commercial of an upcoming dance that was to be a 1970s, 80s & 90s Prom theme. When I heard the "80s" part, I immediately started thinking of how cool it would be to have My boxes on display there to add to the 80s experience. Attendees were encouraged to wear Prom attire and even guaranteed the Punch being served would be spiked with alcohol. I contacted the DJ and after he seen pics of My radios, He flipped out, and said that it would be "So cool". I packed as many radios that I could fit in my car and rolled over to set up around DJ Jeff's equipment. I wish I could've brought them all. Later that evening, the crowd started rolling in, and after they started drinking the spiked punch, things really got wild. One girl dressed like that girl Carrie (70s prom scene where they poured blood on her). One girl layed across the front of my radios, and placed a sealed Maxell cassette tape in her mouth for a pic. So many people were taking pics of the Boxes, and asking to pose with them. A few even danced in the crowd with them. I was nearby in case I needed to "Regulate". It was a total hit. So many partygoers kept asking Me about them. I didn't ask for compensation to bring them, and stated that I just enjoyed watching their reactions to them. I might charge for future events after they saw what a crowd pleaser these are. Any, here are just a few pics I wanted to share with everybody. I'm sorry for the poor quality pics. My cell phone has no flash, and with low lighting, it was struggling to focus. Hope You enjoy them. :-) 20160206_194406.jpg20160206_194836.jpgView attachment 2513420160206_205246.jpgStage Boxes.jpg20160206_223850.jpgBottom row boxes.jpg20160206_211314.jpgholding a VZ2000.jpgDuran Duran couple.jpgElaine girl.jpgGetting Funky.jpgLaying with boxes.jpgCarrie.jpgRed Dress girl.jpgHolding Big Sony.jpgPorsche.jpgSay Anything.jpgLance2.jpgDuran duran guy.jpgSpiked Mohawk.jpgRed Dress1.jpg20160206_214109.jpg20160206_215802.jpg20160206_211729.jpg20160206_213522.jpg

Wow, awesome!!!! You've got some strong local ladies!! How about the blonde with the VZ2000 on a 45 degree angle - cool!!

How big is your 'car' to fit all those boomers inside????!!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

James.... :-)
Thanks for the laughs guys. The entire time this was going on. I was on pins & needles. I could already hear You guys saying "Oooh, I can't believe Adam let those drunk people handle his radios". :-D I just didn't wanna be seen jumping off the stage, running out onto the dance floor and ripping radios out of people's hands throughout the night. The scariest part was when the ladies were kicking their high heals off, and they went sliding across the dance floor toward my radios. :catfight: That girl holding the VZ2000 at an angle is named Porsche, and has the Porsche car logo tattoo tattooed in an interesting place (she showed it to Me). She was very cool. It was fun to see so many get into character and dress the parts. Good hearted and fun loving people.

WOW ADAM, That looks awesome. You got more balls than me. I don't think I could have my grails out like that. Especially if I am all alone with no one to help me look after it all.

Super cool though! I bet 90% of them were just FLOORED to see them all

I would have been paranoid putting BB's in The Danger Zone on a dance floor like this so I'm pleased you got away with it! I mean, flying shoes, posers, drinks above and flaying feet would keep the tightest sphincter busy with a vice-like grip! :w00t: :lol: :lol: :lol:

WOW Adam! That punch musta been 100 proof! Everyone looks like they had a great time checking out all your boomboxes, that is sooo cool, you took quite a few! I woulda had to do multiple trips. Looked like alot of fun hermano, and Im glad that no boomboxes were harmed during the drunken madness! Sometimes we live on the edge ;-) Great pics too! Some pics actually look old due to no flash being used, PERFECT!

Thanks Brothers. I had more boxes that I couldn't fit in the SUV. I actually had to drive to the dance hall with the M90 in My arms due to lack of space in the SUV. Don't try this, folks. You might get a ticket for obstruction of the driver's view. Member 'Caution' was servicing My Clairtone 7980 at the time. That would've been cool to add to the mix too. The Promoter might plan a strictly 80s night dance in the near future. People were so eager to dress the part and participate. That audience's eager participation always makes for a total success.
