Footloose was a movie about a powerful, profound cause–the freedom to dance. But dancing is kind of hard to do without a floor. When Rachel Flotard of Visqueen joined a friend on a trip to Laos in 2008, bringing medical supplies and visiting village schools, Ban Na Mouang Elementary School wasn’t asking for a prom. They were asking for a floor (that, and a soccer ball). Last year, a night of music funded a cement floor for the school. This year, the kids want walls, and tonight’s two-venue event can help fund them. The cover gets you in to see DJs at Sole Repair and local rockers covering ’80s tunes at the Comet. With Robert Roth of Truly, Rachel Flotard, Brian Naubert of Ruston Mire, Airport, Kimo Muraki, Lesli Wood of the Redwood Plan, Michael Lee of Mal De Mer, Matty & Mikey of Curtains For You, Mike Squires of Duff McKagans Loaded.
