Hall and Oates- I Can Go for That

The Long Center 2nd Year Anniversary Party this past Saturday, March 27, has been the talk of the town. Everyone has been raving about Hall and Oates' performance and how fun all the after parties were.

The night began with a VIP party held in a tent that was intensely decorated with purple and white. Guests came dressed in their purple chic and brought their appetite to eat and dance. Ray Benson and Friends warmed up the crowd playing some of their hits. Their friends included Rick Trevino, Kat Edmundson and Matt Wilson.

As the general public arrived, both VIP and the public were ready to boogie to the tunes of 80s and 90s pop stars, Hall and Oates. They got people dancing in every crevice of the Dell Hall and came back for three encores. The crowd asked for more and thats what the band gave them!

After the concert, guests were welcome to any of the 5 after parties. In the tent, Asleep at the Wheel got people two stepping all over the light up dance floor after they ate their Roppolo's Pizza. The City Terrace had entertainers from Way 2 Much Entertainment keeping them company alongside Big Top Hot Dogs keeping their stomachs full. Up in the Kodosky lounge, 34th St. Catering had their famous Hack chicken salad and our favorite DJ in Austin, DJ Manny spun alongside Gooveline. Then, in the West Pencer Lounge, WC Clark played for guests snacking on The Cupcake Bar's purple cupcakes. Lastly, the Rollins theater had the sounds of the Matt Wilson Band. Guests never left the dance floor, well, maybe to get one of 34th St. Frito pies.

The whole night was a total success and we could not thank all our vendors enough. David Kurio blew us away, yet again with his florals. And Townsley Designs, came up with decor and lounge areas that people raved about all night long.
