I had a great time dancing with everyone this weekend! I was a little ill early on Sunday night and took the opportunity to practice my shutter skills while my stomach settled. Here are the fruits o ...

Pretty cute. Cool if you like that kind of sappy stuff, I guess: http://www.nynerd.com/dog-hugs-baby-photos/

Jesse,

I don't remember using the word "suck" in this thread and I'm not sure why you think I have a negative perception of your DJing just because you've played a couple of sets that weren't my fa ...

Dangit. I'd told myself I was done with this thread! But one more thing... As far as having fewer DJs making a more predictable night, I don't think it really plays out that way so much.

I hope t ...

Woohoo, I'm Registered! (3 times. Sorry 'bout that! hehe)

Oh...and I haven't requested housing yet. Is anyone interested in registering for housing as a group? (They have that option on the form ...

I've got a futon that has slept many a wayward lindy-hopper. I'm very close to midtown (about a mile from the heart of midtown) too so that would work out well for you. Email or pm me if you still n ...

OK, folks! I've just helped the organizers of Enter The Blues put together a web-site that is more indicative of the effort they've been putting into the other areas of this event. In addition to the ...

I just decided to plan on going! I had such a great time last year. I might even go crazy and stay through Tuesday night so I can hit up the Jam Cellar. Who's down?

Ahh, sorry about the beginner class thing. I thought there was only and intermediate and an advanced class. (BTW, those two sites have diff info...one says 6:30 and the other say 8:30 for beg class. ...

Dangit...I only got through bobby, Jesse, and part of Gina's long posts and I have to get to work. But a couple of things:

Bobby...you're the man. 'nuff said.

Gina, i think you're being waaay ...

Great post Jim! I think you did an awesome job of tying everyone's thoughts into a cohesive whole.

Couple other things: I don't want anyone to think I'm speaking to any particular DJ(s) or venue ...

No offense but I think that goes back to what was said earlier about some DJ's possibly having an agenda. I think a DJ can appear to influence a scene over the long term to enjoy a certain style of m ...

I think Jesse and Gina both hit on great points. But I also think each of them only hit on part of the solution.

I think creating a "set list" in advance can be a good idea. Well, not a whole set ...

I'll give my guesses and ideas on a few of these issues:
cost: I can tell you now that one of the reasons costs are going up is because the events are getting bigger. More and more people want to ge ...

PPS: Mike & Sharon, I *was* able to rescue your photos from the wall, so contact me so we can make arrangements to get those back to you.
Hey man, that was pretty cool of you! I hope you and Al ...

I'm glad to see you two teamed up to teach this series again! You really got me off to a good start in Bal and now I'm addicted! I hope a bazillion follows (and leads too, I guess) take this so I ca ...

this just caught my attention, and I'm considering flying back home to catch this!
Ooh, if you're the Sammy that I think you are, please come! I had a lot of great dances with you at Cheap Thrills. ...

Right now on Delta, Roundtrip is $139 (junk fees included)!

Wow! Why are babies heads so big?

...er...I mean, she's beautiful! Mr. Green

First of all, let me agree with the others that bluegrass, awesome as it is, is not "swing music", even if an occasional tune does swing, and therefore bluegrass does not dictate that I swing-out.

Question:
Is there any DJ software that does BMPs for you? 'Cause that's one thing that I'm really anal about, and I do it all myself with my fancy metronome. But is there anything with that feature- ...

Check out Mixxx. http://mixxx.sourceforge.net/ It's free and it has lots of great features: "It is free, and runs on all major desktop operating systems. Futhermore Mixxx has a number of key feature ...

I'm real sorry I missed this. I'd planned on going but I took this awesome cute girl on a hike on the Appalachian Trail yesterday AM and the outing took a little longer than anticipated. I'm glad th ...
