Free Music Island

Hi Friends!

I recently went to check out what was happening over at Free Music Island


It was pretty quiet when I got there, so I went to take a look around. I checked out the music art gallery, where they have art (of course), as well as some musical instruments, an old gramophone, a music box, etc. in glass cases, sort of like a museum.




The most fun I had was in the main club area. I was happy to see pictures of some artists I like, like Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. BY the way, I was thrilled to learn Bob Dylan is coming to Taipei to perform on April 2nd! I may go see him in Hong Kong, too, since performers of his stature don't come this way often. Since there were a couple of people getting down on the dance floor,I decided to try my hand at DJ-ing. I took some pictures so you could see me! Cool, huh?

Finally, I clicked on the disco ball that was suspended from the ceiling and it animated my avatar and got me dancing like a fool! There are other icons you can click on that will make your avatar dance in different styles. It's quite fun, but will be better with a partner. I danced alone!
