Roll Out at Gold Coast Roller Rink
2604 S. Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, 954/523-6783, Myspace.com/rainbowsk8tuesdays
Roll Out is perhaps the only weekly event in South Florida that requires patrons to bring a clean pair of socks. Founded in 1962 as a gay skate night, Roll Out was taken over this year by DJs Lolo and Hottpants, who opened the event to straight people. The DJs and their guests spin old-school roller-skate jams, hip-hop, indie rock and disco for a carefree dance party on wheels in which falling on your ass only adds to the fun. Of course, the event features such roller-rink traditions as couple's skate and backward skate, as well as games on wheels from 8 p.m. to midnight.
