Caln Roller Rink
It's a private party for my 40th birthday at the newly-reopened Caln Roller Rink and you are invited! RSVP by commenting in the comment section below, or in the Facebook event.
Caln Roller Rink (Google directions) is a fondly-remembered local landmark that has been closed for years. It was just reopened through the heroic efforts of a group of determined volunteers. The rink is a wonderful time capsule, and its re-opening is a victory for the community!
FORMAL DRESS
For men: black tie optional (yes, seriously!) If you have medals, wear them. Firefighter turnout gear? Great! Beekeeper suit? Perfect. Dolfin shorts? Great!
For women: If you have pom-poms for your skates, wear 'em. Dirndls welcomed. Ball gowns entirely appropriate. Shake out that bridesmaid dress!
For everyone: Have a gorilla suit? Wear it! Own scuba gear? GREAT! Full lycra speed-skating unitard? WONDERFUL. Tearaway sequin disco skirt? MY GOD, WEAR THAT and we'll play "Last Dance" for you, just like in the Muppets! (See the video at left)
Don't have a dinner jacket, space suit, or plunging Dior gown? No problem: come as you are!
SKATING ABILITY
Skating ability of any kind is completely unnecessary and superfluous: a convenient wall, suitable for clutching, is provided for beginners. Chairs provided for the shy. Local legend Jonny Skates will be on hand to show us a thing or two.
Battered, venerable rental skates of approximately four wheels each will be provided to all guests of every age and size. Your own inline skates are permitted, too.
KIDS, ETC.
All ages are welcome, and your kids are invited! Kids in crinolines, tutus, and/or karate outfits are especially welcome.
No alcohol is provided or permitted (it's just a bad idea, what with the skates.) We can certainly go to Victory Brewing Company around the corner afterwards!
Wheelchair access? YES. Bathrooms on site? YES. Snack bar? YES. Dogs and other pets? NO.
