    For a small scene like in Utah, they sure know how to put on a kicka**(can i say 'kicka**'?) lindy exchange. ULX2006 was one of the best lindy exchanges i've ever had. Plus, it's only $45 which is dirt cheap for an exchange.

    Friday night from ULX2006. My camera could not cover the whole floor.

    Steven Watkins (San Francisco, CA)

    Formerly from NYC, Steven now “officially” resides in Oakland, CA, but we like to say he is from San Francisco. He started dancing 7 years ago (he thinks…), and he began his Blues DJing career at - you guessed it - St.Louis' Cheap Thrills 2004. Since then, he’s been “thrilling”dancers across the country with smooth, sultry Blues, a great sense of musical timing, and his good looks!

    I would never have guessed he started DJing at Cheap Thrills...

    Considering that Cheri is fine with Buzz cuddling with Vergil...just throwing that one out there.
    It's amusing how much swing dancers can get away with. Seriously.
