This looks really cool guys. Nice work Swing Des Moines! Eve and I love Joel and Alison and I know there are a lot of Plys fans at the U of I. Right now I'm planning on traveling to San Fran for the Shag Jam on those dates but if anything changes, we'll be there. Good luck with the event. It looks like it will be a really good time.
