I need to learn how to dance

So before First Night happens you need to do a dry run. So basically before the doors open the lights went off, the music started BLARING and the videos were played. Everyone wants to make sure that things go smoothly. There were so many "Testing 1-2, 1-2" So many that the other people working started yelling 3.

First of all I can't not explain to you just how loud it was. You could not talk or hear anyone. The bass was at extraordinary levels. Gampel Pavilion was shaking. The floor was really shaking. My muscles were shaking after a while. You thought you were going to have a heart attack it was so loud.

Anyway, one of the things I got to do was cool. We did a dry run of the intros so we lined up in the tunnel and were announced as if we were a player.

I wanted to do some sort of dance like the players do.

As I came out and went through the tunnel I was blinded by the spot light on me. The camera's zoomed in on me and I got on the nice new big screen. Cool...

Problem was that I was blinded by the light and the song that came on was Thriller, by Michael Jackson. I was so not feeling that song nor the spot light on me. Sorry, nothing against Michael, it was just awkward for me to dance to...well all songs are awkward for me to dance to but that more than most others. I was also announced as Heather Buck...which did not inspire me to break out in to any dance either. Atleast being Heather Buck did not put any pressure on me to actually dance. If I was Lorin Dixon I would have had to have done something. I do wish that some Jay-Z came on or some Baltimore Club Music. I could have atleast done something, like shuffling my feet. I might be able to crank that soulja boy. I think I can make it rain and clear it out too. But honestly I am a much better soccer player than dancer. That should tell you something since I am afraid of kicking a soccer ball at practice for fear of hitting someone in the back of the head.

So I ran through and I did nothing. I just ran through, just like most of the men's players do. When I learn how to dance I should be able to do something.

I do love first night though. It is cool with the highlight videos and the skills challenges. Last night was great because of all the people who showed up. Plus Lloyd was a cool guy. He said "What's Up to me." He should get credit for it here.
