Excited for another Thrift-a-Bull market this Saturday 4-9pm at Surf Club! I’ll be spinning soul and funk 45s from the 60’s and early 70’s, and DJ HALO is gonna do a guest vinyl set! These markets have been a lot of fun, plus Viceroy is delicious, Surf makes great drinks and has a killer beer menu, plus you can bring the kids and/or dogs. Make an evening of it!
