I WANNA GO!!!!

I hope to go today ... I have just one month I come here to Jolet. I never knew there was a Gay, but I have to go, just that there is a problem, I do not know anyone here, so I have no one to go ....

Fun place

I have been to Maneuvers 2 times and both times have been a blast. I can't believe I waited this long to check it out. I will most definitely make this a place that I hang out at. Staff is great and great music as well. Like Penelope said...you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in. If ur in the south burbs...Maneuvers is a place u have to go to.

Can you dance to my beat?

Hey its Penelope!!! I miss you guys sooo much I've been a little tied up!?! Lol Ok on a real note Maneuvers is the place to be. I'm originally from the Shy (Chicago) born and raised and when I moved out here about 4yrs. ago I was completely lost. I didn't know anything or anyone in Joliet and one night I decided to bar hop and my little tail ended up at Maneuvers!!! Thank god! From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and the atmosphere was so welcoming. Everyone was amazing from the owner Fred (cutie pie) to the staff that I adore, did I mention the music!?! Well let me tell you DJ Sit-n-Spin plays intoxicating music that will have you dancing all night long and wanting more. When Maneuvers closes your sure to find me still dancing until I'm out the door and maybe all the way to my car!!! If you haven't been to my Maneuvers you are definitely cheating yourself out of a what could be spectacular night of laughing, dancing and meeting life long friends. If you have been to Maneuvers you know exactly what I'm talking about. Maneuvers hosts a dragshow night every third Friday of each month. The show is heartstopping. The performers are gorgeous and their shows are magnificent so very, very entertaining. I fell inlove with Maneuvers and so will all of you, its inevitable. Check it out you will not be disappointed, I can promise you will want to come back its that great. Well gotta go love you all!!! Love Penelope
