10pm-2am set at The Cuff Complex in Seattle, WA
This was my first time playing at The Cuff, and I wanted to keep things fun and sexy. A few mistakes here and there but overall delighted with how the night went. Being one of the first weekends that clubs were open in Seattle after over a year of Covid restrictions, the floor was packed and ready to dance pretty much all night!
