Thank You! Thank You! Thank You to everyone who made it to last night’s FlashDance at City Hall! Sooooo much goodness & exactly what our hero needed :-) It was once again stupendous and makes me even more bummed that I did not manage to have a June FD – what was up with that?

Anyway from the Amazing Filipino(?) Dance Squad, to the Flava Flav impersonator to the Italian tourists it was awesome. And even the fact that we got busted and had to move locations all worked out well (see below!). Simply a great FlashDance! I hope you all had as much fun as I did & I can’t wait for August (hint: we’ll be hitting the same spot we always hit for August FD…).

Thanks again for making my night!

3 quick additional notes:

  1. If you are not already signed up to get SMS updates on your phone – PLEASE DO!!! Last night showed how important these are since we had to move it was the only good way to find us. Instructions are here.
  2. Check us out! April’s Flashdance got a mention in the Guardian! With some cute pix!
  3. How did you like the music!? Leave comments! Hopefully you all loved it as much as I did. ever since the comments of a few FDs ago, I’ve been trying to broaden the musical selection whiles still trying to keep it BROADLY accessible. I’ve also tried to work in more requests and to generally play more than just my standards. How do you like it? At the end of the day, I’ll always be playing primarily POP music (Sorry house/techno fans) – but I’m open to considering anything as long as I think a LOT of people will enjoy it.
