Last month, it looked like the Rocket Room, one of the hipper clubs in Colorado Springs, might close at the end of the year due to some issues with the landlord. But according to the club's Facebook page, owners Shalonda and her husband Dave Cantrell were able to get an extension, and it looks like the bar, which opened in May of 2007, will continue to be open at least until January 15 and perhaps beyond that. This Friday, January 8, the Rocket Room will throw its third annual Elvis Birthday Party with Chris Winters, and we'll be sure keep you posted as to what happens after that.
