Crystal Ballroom

Tonight we find ourselves in the historic space that is the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR.  Originally built in 1914, this place has seen it all from dance revivals during the Great Depression to decades of square dancing to some of the most epic R&B and rock 'n roll of the last 40 years. The venue has one of those "if these walls could talk" vibe with history oozing from the inside out. A spring loaded dance floor always leads to interesting evenings as the place literally bobs up and down as the energy builds.  Despite the asymmetrical stage and slightly goofy layout, it is always a joy putting on a show here at the Crystal.  Off we go...
