" Toys For Tatas 2024! "

The party started at 6 AM. I expected to have problems finding parking since I was running late. I arrived after 8 AM. To my surprise, the parking lot was half full. Greeted by Santa Claus at the door with a security wand. I had my driver's license scanned. Got free entry with an unwrapped toy (totaling ten dollars or more, otherwise I believe the cover was $10). I found a seat near the main stage, while the waitress got me a beer for $6 and a free breakfast burrito.

Most of the tables were full, but there were empty seats at the main stage and off to the sides. It seemed like everyone was having a good time. Of course, the radio station, 94ROCK, was off in the corner to the left of stage two and the DJ booth.

It did look like there was a smaller group of dancers this year in comparison to years past. Maybe, over a dozen dancers were present. IMO talent was still 4s' to 8s'. Saw mostly brunettes, a couple blondes, and mostly Latinos, Caucasians, and a couple AA. I saw Stella, Tatiana, Eden, Gemini, and Ruby on stage. The music was loud, but not too loud. The DJ was still hard to hear or make out names of the dancers, but better than before. Dances were $25. I managed to grab a couple of VIP dances. It was a step down compared to last year's party. Overall, I did have a good time, It was after all for charity.
