Valentines Dance

Almost as bad as halloween dances are valentines dances.

University Villa  tried having a valentines dance tonight.   As far as setup, it wasn’t that bad, except for a little hyperactive fog machine.  There were only 7 people there; I feel kind of bad about that.  I didn’t stay any longer than I needed to grab a cookie, but I might had stayed longer if there were more people.

Honestly though, I’m not surprised.  Besides the fact that it is a weekday night and everyone has class tomorrow, I don’t imagine that valentines dances could succeed more than any other dance.   I would guess that Valentines Day isn’t  exactly everyone’s favorite holiday, so why would a valentines dance be predestined to success?  Those who are looking forward to celebrating valentines day, probably have a significant other, and thus don’t need a dance as an excuse to dance.  Those who don’t have significant others, probably aren’t so excited about the whole valentines thing anyway, and consequently are not the most likely to be excited about a valentines dance.
