This was an end of the night set, and I'm kind of proud of the fact that with our scene, I was able to take it from turquoise back to blues without killing the dance floor at all. We started going turquoise early enough in the night that I felt like I wanted to bring it back, and really didn't have much more to play in the turquoise realm. (PS the song Alex handed the night off to me with was "What It's Like by Everlast - evil evil move)

Dave and Haley Workshop (Sunday)

I took the second-to-last set, with Whitton Frank after me. We decided to trade songs for a bit until I got tired or she wanted to take over. We ended up enjoying the trade so much that we kept going until the end. Definitely one lf the most fun and inspirational sets I've ever played. I think we started trading after "Stranded In Your Love"
