By Austin Powell, 1:33PM, Fri. May 30, 2008
Fans of the Scoot Inn's Second Sunday Sock Hop take note. Event organizer Gabe Vaughn and partner-in-boogie Mike Hooker celebrate the grand opening of their new vinyl haven, Breakaway Records (1704 E. 5th St. #105), on Sunday beginning at 11am. The Eastside outlet, located directly beside Cafe Mundi, caters to fans of 1950s and 60s pop, girl groups, soul, and garage rock. The day-long extravaganza will feature both Vaughn and Hooker behind the wheels of steel, along with the Waxploitation! DJs and Heart & Soul Soundsystem. Plus, free beer while it lasts.
