We now interrupt Cheeseburger Saturday Night to bring you the following holiday presentation!
Okay, we’ve got a little Christmas party brewing at the Chillmaster’s and then we’re heading to The Roseland Ballroom where Shawn told us about an event called, The Rhythm Revue Dance Party. So, let’s get going...why the fuck not?
There he is, in the infamous window, The Chillmaster!
The Chillmaster and I are inside, drinking beer and waiting for the other guests to arrive.
And here's Victoria being greeted by the Chillmaster.
Close up of Victoria!
Chillin' like villains!
The Chillmaster table is all set up.
And here's Shawn...
And Lindsay, okay, I think the crew for tonight is all here.
Let the party begin!
There's Gumby on top of the Hennessy.
And Shawn busts a move!
Victoria dons the famous Chillmaster fur hat.
And a few minutes later the Chillmaster places it on Lindsay's noggin.
It's the warmest hat in the world!
And just like that, we're in a cab headed for midtown. Shawn suggested we check out a soul revue that's hosted in The Roseland Ballroom.
And here we are deep in the heart of midtown, steps away from the Roseland Ballroom.
Inside there's a nice bar area.
The Chillmaster shares a laugh with the bartender.
Okay, we have our drinks, time to check this place out.
There's a huge dance floor here. The music is classic soul with a little 70's disco thrown in. What I like is it's not played at a crazy loud level, you can enjoy the music and still talk to people. Great choice by Shawn!
There's a big video screen showing classic Soul Train clips and assorted soul videos.
Dance Party!
Here's a festive couple out on the dance floor.
There's plenty of tables on the perimeter...
But I prefer to check out the action on the dance floor.
Chillmaster, Lindsay and Shawn are sharing a laugh and a dance.
Chilling and watching the action.
And to prove that some white guys just can't dance, here I am with Lindsay on the dance floor as Chillmaster snaps the photo.
And the last drink for me of the evening, i was operating on about three hours of sleep and was the first to leave. Shawn, Lindsay and The Chillmaster stayed and partied on. A great night and thanks to everyone for hanging out! Goodnight everybody and see you tomorrow after dark!

Woo woo--fun---dancing is the best!!Glad you had fun--send Holiday Greeting to The Chillmaster For Me and To All!!!!
Glad you guys had fun - looks like a great place! I know you all listen to the Rhythm Review on KISS, but I first knew of it on WGBO Jazz 88.3 FM - Saturday morning & the best way to blast into the weekend (with or without hangover). So you can get a double dose of Rhythm Review happiness each week. . Hope you have a good time in Illinois, Marty! Happy Holidays!
I wonder how many times Victoria has been told she looks just like Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) on the T.V. show Criminal Minds?
@Melanie: Thanks and happy holidays to you!
@onemorefoldedsunset: Thanks for the radio information and I hope you can make the next party/get together! Happy holidays!
@Jaws: I've never seen that show and now I need to travel to Google to check it out!

@tehennessey: Lindsay's currently in the hospital nursing two broken feet. I'm going to go visit her...I hope she has pain medication!
Real flashback chill party,,,Soul Train revisited?
Looks like you all had a lot of fun! Any dance videos? I suspect Chillmaster must have closed the place down, lol,
Marty, my feet will never be the same!!!! Hahahhaha!! Had a great time, glad we could be dance partners, you can certainly cut a rug!
Loved the woman with the tambourine!! She was so cool!! The one time I leave my tambourine at home.. ahhaha!!
Great seeing you, as usual!!!!!
That is not Shawn. What have you done with him? I am getting a Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey vibe here.
@Al: They were playing old Soul Train clips in the Ballroom, too cool! Sooooouuuul Train! I used to watch that show every Saturday!
@Goggla: Lot's of vintage videos were being played, this is a real cool thing to go to, a great idea by Shawn.
@Lindsay: Thanks for the pleasure of the dance and I'm happy I avoided crushing your toes! I loved that woman with the tambourine, great to see you, as always!
@Duncester: Excellent!
Great pictures! I love a good dance party!
A very festive Saturday indeed !
Get some sleep Marty ! ..... 3 hours ? ...... I could not do that. Period. I would not be able to function !
For a man living behind (green) bars, the chillmaster seems to be living pretty well.
@Britta: Thanks, it was a fun night!
@GENE: I slept twelve hours last night! I'm all recharged!
@csp: The Chillmaster does live the life!

@Biff: There's not enough booze in the world for that! Maybe if you throw in some drugs...
@rr: Sorry to hear about your loss, but that happens! Beautiful quote!
