We REALLY need hosts for Red Hot Blues 'n BBQ
posted: May 16th 2012 :: 11:36pm
Hey! Are you local, and you possess a couch? Does your floor have carpet so comfortable you've passed out on it before? Perhaps the second most comfortable chair in your Zip Code watches TV even when its turned off? Then sign up for housing (if you haven't already)! We've got many more requests than hosts, and really really need your help to make this weekend happen.
THANK YOU if you have already... signed up to host an out-of-towner. Click here to sign up to be a host.

Out-Of-Town Events
Some say our locals should travel more. More? I think DC knows how to show up at another event and represent, but it can't hurt to encourage you all to travel more for dancing. It's a great way to help grow the community, make new friendships, and bring back new ideas to Washington, D.C. Here is a list of upcoming blues-dancing events you might want to check out:
