I learned that The Willows was having a pre-show for Valentine’s Day, on Friday, Feb. 13, so I thought I’d check it out. Immediately impressed by the venue’s size, I asked Faleen Renard, the owner, if it was okay to take pictures. She quickly approved, and I joined a group of regulars already enjoying the party.

The venue was decorated in Valentine hearts, with a sign in the center in big, lighted letters reading, “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Faleen was having a great time dressed as a sexy cupid, while her hubby, Steverino, wore a red vintage suit and bow tie. DJ Jaffee Gaffer chose some great music and was cute in his tee-shirt and shorts with hearts, and Suzy Sorbet, who was dancing next to him, wore a cute pink top and skirt.

“Tonight is just a casual party, so everyone can participate in Valentine’s Day and have fun,” said Faleen. Tomorrow night is our formal event. I make sure we have a different theme every night of the week, and the club décor changes nightly, as well, to reflect the theme. It’s a lot of work, but I love it.

Faleen said that the group has fun selecting costumes and avatars.
