billeylerPretty much convinced after tonight that I'm just going to do the 4 Wednesdays of C/W lessons at the Ranch and let it go (again).

abqdan was there as sterling moral support tonight. He helped set up the sound equipment, along with the DJ, to hook into their system there, and was my Ginger for the demos.
Probably about 16 folks there, lots of energy, although the humidity is way up and the swamp coolers aren't doing much toward cooling folks off. Taught fairly intensively the basic c/w two-step, the Tush Push, the reviewed the Waltz and Boot Scootin' Boogie. My boss was even there tonight!
I'd count this as a success if I felt that the Ranch mgmt, who approached me to DO this, was actually supporting it. There were all kinds of flyers scattered over the bar, but this week nothing about the dance lessons. I'm thinking that about 1/2 the folks there were Wilde Bunchers, and the other 8 weren't...I didn't actually get a good count, but seemed like it.
At some time during the night, I mentioned on the mic that we should thank Sidewinders for supporting the dancing, and to come out on Friday-Sunday for practicing and socializing (which is the whole purpose of it). The DJ, who was sitting on the sidelines, watching the goings-on, yelled over to me that it's still "The Ranch" and some comment made afterwards made it sound like the sale isn't really final yet! Could it be???
Tried to get the rodeo group involved in this, too....we'll see if that pans out over the next two weeks! I know that it takes more that one or two weeks to get a program going, but again..."we'll see!"
