Update-Which doesn't always mean progress

Well, The below mentioned, hugely successful dance below may very likely die.
I cannot believe that some feel a round dance would onflict with a MS dance, I'm amazed that some will give up if the free hall is unavailable- Charge a bit more and rent a hall- There are few areas that have the free hall's we enjoy in the area- It's just a matter of time before we will have to pay- The bottom line is that it appears that August is the first chance that fits into no RD or other conflicts and there's a free hall..........................I wonder how many of the almost 7 squares of people that were at the first will have quit in frustration by then- sigh- I hope this area looks 110 miles north to see the future of this pattern-NOTHING is going on In the Fresno area
Happy Thanksgiving

MainStream Worked In central california

A GREAT Mainstream Event on Friday in Bakersfield, It was extremely well attended (in spite of so many folks at Indio) and only 2 folks left early (They had a really long drive)
This is proof that MS is not the horrible level that is perceived - A full MS event can be a blast, It's really up to who calls the dance and how the dance is publicised!!! We had No Rounds, No star Tips and it was held on a night that had no other dances (Fri)- The attendees were dancers from MOST Bakersfield Area Groups and they ranged from "scared to death" MS Dancers thru A2
Everybody had a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only concern I heard was "Why wait till February to do another"- That's a really good question
By the way If Rod Shuping Spends the night (He's on my couch now) and brings his 3 bird dogs- They will EAT your sprinklers- hehehe and true
