- dancers - you came! I didn't know whether to expect you or not - but there you were, and dancing so well, too!
- callers - Bob and Kimberly and Kay were seriously on their game. There was wonderful contrast in the dances, too - some good fast romps and some gorgeous melting softer ones. And the evening started right on time, and finished, twelve dances later, with time left over for a nice waltz.
- Mac on sound - we gave him exactly zero minutes to do a sound check, but he nailed it. How'd he do that?
- band - my wonderful musician friends poured their hearts out. As much as I wanted to be out on the floor dancing, I can tell you I was having a great time on stage.
- Blackthorn Morris - no beginning venture should be without the blessing of a Morris team. I have noticed that the sudden appearance of men (and women) in bells with sticks always seems associated with success.
- Peggy and the women of the Monday Club - thanks for having such a lovely hall and thanks for sharing it with us!
- especial thanks to the folks who helped put up the little lights which gave the hall such a lovely glow, and the ones who brought tasty treats and put out the liquids for people to drink, and the ones who helped us clean up afterwards, and the ones who helped greet people at the door.
I don't think it would be possible to be much happier with the way things went tonight. Thank you all again for taking part in it!

It was a beautiful evening. The experience of standing among friends, on that stage, calling dances I love to music that's elegant and perfect, to a hall full of dancers all moving together in sweeping patterns: what a blessing. I will remember that night for a very long time.
