January Wrap Up

Man you guys are good! We figured we'd plan a nice, simple, quiet dance and you turned it into a thing. It didn't hurt that Marshal killed it laying down an awesome set. Big thanks to him for coming down, making the music happen, and not holding the service at the Steak and Shake against us.

But really, thanks to YOU. Normally we expect DJ dances to be a bit slower. This one wasn't! We had close to a hundred people there. We also had multiple other scenes represent including Nashville, Knoxville, Cookeville, Birmingham and that one guy from Austin who always comes. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better dance.

And remember, our next dance is coming up FAST! (Feb 4th) It's a Sadie Hawkins Dance so it's the girl's job to ask the guys out onto the floor!

And there's more that's happened in January other than the dance. For starters, we now have new bylaws. Big thanks to Amber, Briana, and the rest of the HSDS board for making them happen.
