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!
