Aww . . . our favorite Sunday-night dance party turns 1 today. Santa Ana’s blossoming downtown area has been a super-hip spot of late, especially thanks to Proof bar and its nightly events. To memorialize this most-excellent occasion, the ultra-swanky lounge hosts bands the Shovels and Blind Whitey alongside the usual superstar-DJ lineup. With lethal martinis, erotic photography lining the walls and masses of stylish party-goers, this is sure to be unlike any other first birthday you’ve been to.
