Get rodeo ready, cowboy season's coming!

Spring is coming next weekend! The animals will be waking up, you should come out of hibernation too. First things first, peruse 38step.com and brush up on your dance steps, of course!

Atlantic City Rodeo
Atlantic City Rodeo

Rodeo &  Beer Festival coming to Atlantic City on the same weekend!
Now THAT sounds like a fun weekend! April 1 - 3, Atlantic City will be full of cowboys & beer. Suds & Studs & Spurs... ooh la la!
Rodeo tix start @ $16. You're darn right I'll be in town that weekend, actin' like a FOOL!

The first weekend in April, what kind of fool will you be?




Bally's Wild Wild West Casino - Oh how we would love to see them get some good line dancing events going! Hopefully the Atlantic City rodeo will kick up a little inspiration for their promotions department. All they need is a wooden dance floor and a decent DJ who is familiar with line dancing... someone to get the word out and viola.

Friendly Tavern reopened last summer.  It's an old favorite dancin' destination for many. Some yelp-ers said,
"Great country music with plenty of dancing.  Live bands are a plus.  So glad to have country dancing close again.  Great, diverse crowd with music for old and young alike."
 "Saturday we found this new spot about an hour's drive from NE Philly. Located in Carneys Point NJ, the newly reopened under new management, Friendly Tavern sure lives up to its name is worth the trip"
 "The lights are dim, Beer is cold, and the Music is Loud! Line dancing was the Deal! The crowd aged from Mid-30's to 70 years old. I'm Sure this place is going to be a Hit! "

djharry2189 has a few videos from Friendly's. The Friendly Tavern has its perks and its drawbacks but a must-try for post-rodeo rowdiness. Which leads me to...

Cowtown Rodeo - Every Saturday Night 7:30 PM
May 28, 2011 - Sept. 24, 2011

Dig out your kickers 'n wranglers, order a new white dress (so excited they're in this season), and plan some nights out! Do it up like us gals did in "Line Dancing, Concert Tix, The Rodeo Song (sans the music, poetry, art, singing, rhythm, humor and sound) ", grab a grill & some beverages (Cowtown Rodeo lets you bring in a cooler), and assign your designated driver (it's a long walk)... party it up rowdy rodeo style!

Yeeeeeee...haw

Country Halloween Costume Ideas, tips, links & inspiration

A collection of Halloween costume ideas, tips & how-tos for country loving, line dancin' Halloween party-goers:

Dukes of Hazzard

(from askmen.com)

Luke, Bo & Daisy Duke

So what if the film version of The Dukes of Hazzard got trashed? The Dukes and their hot-to-trot cousin are trash TV icons! Channel their country-fried glory with a buddy and a woman willing to show a lot of leg.

What the Dukes need:
  • Feathered '70s-style hair
  • Tight blue jeans
  • Belts with large buckles
  • Plaid shirt for Luke (brown haired), yellow button-down work shirt for Bo (blond haired)
  • Construction or cowboy boots

  • What Daisy needs:
  • Very short cutoff jean shorts
  • Sexy tank top
  • Cowboy boots
  • Daisy Duke
    General Lee
    Beverly Hillbillies
    ( Elly May, Granny, Jane Hathaway, Jed Clampett, Jethro)

    • (from associatedcontent.com)
      This is an easy costume to pull off with either a big group of friends or just a few of you. The guys can dress up in overalls or jeans with a wife beater. The ladies can dress up in jean cut off shorts and little half tops with pigtails in there hair. You can either dress up as hillbillies in general or copy the style from the movie or television show.
