Can't wait! Trying to keep myself from dancing poorly in public - and I don't even drink!
Missed the closing party last year...making up for it this year! Cannot wait for Big Omaha!!
So I'm bringing some friends to the after parties, do they cost for non -Big Omahans? Besides the hood internet of course..
