Good Attendance

OK after almost a month of taking over the Visalia Tuesdays-attendance is UP, The Plus DanceShop in Coarsegold is going well and at 10 per person the value seems to to be on track.

I hope that clubs will not fold over a concern that "$10/person is too much" I'm proving that it's not-it's just the math given the reality of MWSD

Is YOUR club in trouble financially-raise the fee- what is the worst that could happen-Fold anyway??

Glad for healing

I'm glad that the aforementioned club did reach out to the aforementioned caller, I think that while it was likely complicated (it was) I'm glad all ends well and the healing begins. I've been doing lotsa parties for the summer ( 600 people were introduced to SD this week by me-2 events) and I'm REALLY glad my voice seems to be finally healing. Now if the Visalia Tuesday group (a club which was folding as of 7/1-and I took it over) keeps the attendance over this summer as we had last Tuesday- I might be able to "give them the keys back"- Healing

My Blog

I wished for this to be an interactive discussion but many folks decided to to not interact in this forum, I will blog every now and then here but facebook seems to be a better way to have active chats. I may shut this down or maybe "ramp it up" for important things- I'm really gald to hear that after 20 years of anger, a particular club is using a "Sub" caller that I've replaced as the bad guy- That works for me-I don't hold grudges, perhaps this is a start of healing-We'll see

Long Time No Post

What a wild month-sorry for not posting, Let's see-Callerlab in Vegas-2500 miles of driving to other gigs,I finally went to the doc (allergist) and found I'm allergic to EVERYTHING around here,

Clubs are declining, My caller run stuff is stable and a car wreck almost killed my best friend's son (Now he's out of the woods -no more coma- but a lot of healing to go) oh yeah my sprinklers got trashed over the winter. So a major project in in line after the next 10 days (a day off)

Will the weather make up its mind

OK so it was 90F 2 days ago and now we may have to go dark tomorrow for snow?????????

Must be the global warming causing cold record temps.

Fun nite in Bakersfield- 4 of out snowbird friends were passing thru and that was icing on the cake.

Looking forward to the "Ozzie" awards in Vegas-I'll be one of the presenters (maybe a winner too LOL)

Wet and Weird Fun Weeks

We've been getting soaked for a couple of weeks- Too bad there's no more storage so most is off to the ocean. Anyway The Fiesta turned out well- and a small increase in attendance. and COLD and WET.

This last week was monsoonal drives and over the weekend a first- Never been bumped from a hall for a crab feed before-weird. The alternate hall was set up for Hamlet and we danced around the staging.

Now it's sunny and supposed to be 75 by Wednesday- Goofy Weather

Note to Self

OK I am going to help out a caller and club this Saturday-I will sub for the caller and insure that the club has a great dance- But what a Pain in the ass-doing this favor-The drama of "who's in charge" I accepted the gig with the president, We both though all was well-then the political drama started- Finally after I called back and said if this is a problem, I'll not do the gig (president again)-Now the Cuer (why this fool was involved escapes me) and the VP finally realized that the PRESIDENT had hired me to fill in-Now all seems well (It is just Monday hehehe)

NOTE TO SELF- Next time I have a rare Saturday off- Take the day off- If asked to sub-just say no!
