    I think you may have confused "can't" with "won't"? [Emoticon not found]

    It's gonna be awesome! Yes, it is a major westie event, but check out the list of instructors! The best lindy hoppers in the US are gonna be there! Good times!

    So, I made the mistake of posting about Reno Dance Sensation under Down Home Blues...nobody seems to have noticed...I don't think the best lindy hoppers in the world will be there...but there definitely will be some really cool ones there!

    sweet!

    any other takers? Ryan? you know you want to. [Emoticon not found] (i saw you checking out the smelly blues room in denver.)

  12.  

    A) There was food downstairs in denver, where the blues room happened to be.

    [Emoticon not found] The water downstairs, where the blues room happened to be, was more cold and had less of a line than the water upstairs.

    C) I needed to talk to Virgil, who happened to be downstairs, where the blues room happened to be.

    D) The men's bathroom was downstairs, where the blues room happened to be.

    E) There was gatorade powder you could put in your water near the water downstairs, where the blues room happened to be.

    You see, I was downstairs, but not checking out the blues. The blues just happened to be down there, where I was.

    Yes, Giselle was DJing downstairs, but sadly the fast room stopped at 3 AM.

    Protest too much? Nah, I could if you want me to though!

    Boooooo. But on the other hand, the snob is right... we do need more people to go to this. Tara and I are driving down, the snob will be there, and I heard a rumor that Bob might be going too. Any other follows looking to learn some REAL blues?

    i think i can host a couple of people, if necessary. (and by a couple, i really do mean 2-4, since my roomate might freak out if i have more than that. i don't want to try and outdo mike & emily at camp jitterbug) i do live about 45 minutes away from all of the venues, though. you'll probably want to try and get closer housing first.

    AAAMMMMAAAAZING DANCING this weekend! For those who didn't attend - you missed out!

    Returned safe and sound... Thanks Down Home Blues for a killer weekend!

    Tina rocked the wheels at Roots on Monday - honestly, the best set I've ever heard. Fantastic.

    I'm going to sleep now... Much dancing + little sleep = great weekend [Emoticon not found]

    Absolutely incredible weekend. Awesome classes and instructors, fantastic dancers, and superb dj's.... the dancing literally just got better and better over the weekend. Roots was unbelievable.

    Thanks to all those who went, and big kudos to my navigator, co-pilot, and all-around partner-in-crime.... you helped make the weekend an experience I will never forget. Oh, and a big thanks to our awesome host Scott!

    Tina spins most weeks at Syndicate dances down here in Austin. She also has her own Blues party downtown every month, but so far I've been obligated to be other places all of those nights. Whatever happens this month, I'll just have to make them move it.
