Who's calling

I am
7/31 USDA 5th Sat dance
The email sent by the sponsors had omitted who was calling- I got TONS of inquires, I thought it was a whoops but the same folks who asked me- said we asked the sponsor (via email) and no answer- SHEEZ I thought my blog apology was enough, but stuff continues
I hope y'all come by Sat and dance- I suspect the 4 INDIVIDUALS who keep the BS going won't- COOL

Another Mainstream Success

I understand the 7/17 dance at JS went very well- COOL, It really looks like MS dances are becoming better attended than Plus- Perhaps it's the fact that it welcomes more folks-hence larger crowds, perhaps it's that folks are more comfy at this level- Either way-COOL- Hopefully the 4 MS Fridays scheduled will happen- I understand the hall has not yet confirmed-(See Norris Road Management change below as to why)
Looking forward the doing the USDA 5th Sat on 7/31-Hoping that the attendance of this Plus dance won't be a low as the last 2 area plus dances- some come on out!! and it wont be :)

Good News-Mondays In Bakersfield

The "North Of The River" parks and rec took over operations of the Norris Road hall- so all Whirlaways events (save Saturdays) will be at the same Norris Road location as scheduled- Thru December anyway. I hope and pray the new district will allow us to continue, at no more than same rate that the JS pays after Dec.- otherwise we may have just put off the hall trauma, and may have lost the other hall. Cross yer fingers

Dog Days Of Summer

It's slow..................painfully slow..............but the few things going on have been GREAT 1) Over 30 Squares at an annual party I do-Year 4 is booked and did I mention all dancing were under 35? 2) Bakersfield Whirlaways are transitioning to a new hall, but can only dance twice in July in the temporary hall (that's the most summer dark nites since I've been there 3) Visalia is "stuck" with me for 2 more years- We signed the contract Tuesday- I'm also back with Skirts and Flirts and Whirlaways too! Finally I hope the Bakersfield Thursday class graduation wen't well!! I hope that all will Support their 7/17 dance- MS and Really Hope that somebody can find a hall for the 4 Friday MS dances scheduled with Whirlaways- Right now there's no hall to hold them
This next Sunday-Wed I am calling, a nice "almost" normal week
