    Plane tickets to Denver are probably cheaper for me since it's a no stop. Austin's airport is too small to go anywhere. . . [Emoticon not found]

    Uh oh, now I'm tempted to go to Seattle, but torn cuz the sauce wouldn't be there.

    Roach... you're a true Blues dancer at heart... you wouldn't enjoy yourself in Seattle... you should do the Blues thing yo

  6.  

    Yeah...the Roach is all over blues...I'm actually more into faster dancing these days (or working on it), but the thought of staying in a hotel in Palm Springs and getting to hang out at the beach or the pool and get my dancing fix too...that sounds nice. I'm just interested in going to a different event where it isn't just dancing. This event has parties set up to actually socialize with others. Its a bit extreme, I know, but I've always been a rebel [Emoticon not found] .

    Awww, man. I saw all the posts and I was like "Wow! They must be excited to come down to Denver!"

    Since I was eavesdropping, don't forget you can just get a dance pass for only $39 if you want to come but aren't sure if you can afford the weekend pass.

    It's not a question of winning, it's a question of economics. I don't want to spend $400 on the Seattle exchange, and not have enough money to make it through the year. Austin's airport is not particularly well suited for getting anywhere, especially not Seattle.

    Besides, I found something else I've considered spending money on.

    Oh, and Traci, I intentionally left LotR that way to see who would notice. And you call us nerds! [Emoticon not found]

    and i agree, it is a matter of economics. it's cheaper for me to go to seattle than denver. but that's cause i live on the left coast.
