Thank you Galveston for an Amazing Inaugural Beach Blanket Bingo
Your body is sore. You still hear music in your head. You’ve given up on trying to remove the mound of sand from your shoes and car. If you have one or more of those symptoms, then you might be suffering from Beach Blanket Bingo-itis. Don’t worry – you are not alone.
For Galveston’s inaugural Beach Blanket Bingo this past Saturday, August 23rd, we took the concept of a standard beach day and kicked it up a notch – actually, make that a few notches. Paris Blohm and Party Favor started us off right with dose of progressive and twerk-ready jams while Sound Remedy and Adrian Lux were the perfect soundtrack to take us deeper into the night. Dillon Francis closed out the event with a massive set that we’re still trying to wrap our brains around. The music was great, but the vibe from the crowd made it better – you could just feel the energy pouring in from the sandy dance floor.
Closing the inaugural chapter, we want to sincerely thank each and every one of you who came and made Beach Blanket Bingo such an unbelievable success. We made friends, we made memories, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
So THANK YOU again for all of your support! We’ll dance together again soon.
