When I started steppin’ I had three or four major events that I planned to attend each year. Retrospectively, I figure either I was not connected enough to know all that was happening in the community or there were not this many events. Now, five or so years later I can find an event to attend every weekend of the year. Steppers really know how to party all year long, make it spectacular and I can dress up every weekend if I want to – and I do want to.
Now there are events happening at the same time on different coasts of the country and I have to choose and budget for what I can do. I start off each month with a wish list and if I make it, I am happy. Events make my wish list if – (1) I get a personal invite, (2) the event is in a state I have never visited just to step, or (3) it is an annual event I attended before that was an unforgettable time. Here is my October wish list – a little late. I will release future monthly wish lists on the 15th of each month.
