The ball was crazy, anybody know if it will be this year again?
Like the other poster, I am wondering if the Shake the Shack Rockabilly Ball will be happening again in 2012. It was a terrific event last year.
It will indeed! Details are still TBD, but you can expect the STS Rockabilly Ball to happen again this year.
