Alone with Lindy Hop, and Big Band my other love is Rockabilly Music. LOVE it! Love the culture, love the clothes and the guys are yummy in the James Dean bad boy way :)
I am lucky living in such an awesome city like Toronto because I am never too far from great places to get my Lindy fix and also my Rockabilly fix.
Now you may ask, where that might be in Toronto? Well let me tell you...The Cadillac Lounge on hopping Queen Street West.
With the pink Cadillac on the front of the building, you know you are about to enter a bar that is a bit different from the rest. Leopard print can be seen on seat cushions, old hubcaps, vintage posters deck the walls and you are sure to see also sideburns, red lipstick and at least ONE Elvis at some point in your night.
On a regular basis they cater to Rockabilly music, but if it is night that is not, that you can escape to the biggest heated outdoor patio in the back. it is HUGE and I have spent a many of a night drinking Amsterdam beers and eating there very yummy nachos.
In fact last July 1st, my now boyfriend (not my boyfriend at the time) went to the Caddy at around 2:00 and did not leave till 2AM. Our friends rotated in and out and we just got drunker and drunker on the patio. That is the night that my boyfriend finally gave into his commitment issues and said he wanted to be my boyfriend (we have been going strong every since).
So the caddy has some great memories for me and I am sure some memories to come. In fact I am holding my birthday brunch their a week today. Can't wait!
