" we don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. "  -anais nin

adopt a house dancefloor today!

house music , music will never die ... it's everything that makes up the world
around us. walk down the street and listen to that four by four beat. it's in
your step ..
dance music is not dead , house music is not dead , techno music is not dead ,
disco is not dead , punk rock yes that's dead .. heh kidding.
together we create the dancefloor , inspire the dj ... get on the floor
knowing it'll be a great night.. and it will be!
people respond to people, lift each other up ... death not be our bride.  it's
the people .. it's up to you to allow the spirit of house to live on , it's
silly to think that it never was up to us

duty calls,
go out there
put your house smiles on
call up some house heads
and hit the dancefloor,
if this is our "church"
we gotta show up, show us
show me that money .. that spirit, that *
love your dj, love your dancefloor
let it all go and watch the beat rise
dance baby. pass the basket
