Set list from First Friday at Big City Swing

The dance at Big City Swing last Friday was really fun and really crowded. It was an interesting mix of people--lots of folks came for the beginner lesson and then stuck around for quite a while (which is great--I get the impression that often those people stick around for half an hour and then disappear) and a bunch of scene regulars. And some of our favorite out-of-towners, which was a treat. My set ran from about 8:45 to 12:15ish, and we had to kick people out at the end. It's always a good feeling when you finish to a full house, instead of the crowd thinning out towards the end of the night. Leave 'em wanting more, right?
