Thursday Night Ninety Cent Dance Night
Thursday Night Dance Night, which started with DJ Randy Now (Randy Ellis) in 1980, but was taken over by DJ Carlos (Carlos Santos) in early 1983. DJ Carlos was the main Thursday night and house DJ until late 1994, playing a combination of New Wave, alternative, industrial and cutting-edge dance music for the time period. At the height of its popularity, in the mid 1980s to the early 1990s, the 90-cent dance party regularly had over 600 to 700 people and often broke over 1000 on the door count. Frank Nalbone has stated to this author that Thursday night dance night, with DJ Carlos, made it possible for the club to keep its doors open and feature many of the live acts, which often were not economically successful or just broke even.

Is to be civilized, stay up and read
Or sing and dance all night and see sunrise
By waiting up instead of getting up.”
