Phillip and I will be making the trip up from Florida. We might be bringing a long-lost DC dancer with us, and a few more Pensacolians, but the two of us are definitly going. See you at KLX, then at AVS!!

Hey Atlanta,

If you haven't registered for AVS, you should... For only $80 you get admission to everything the entire weekend offers...

We also need hosts... If you can host some of our many out of town guests, please sign up at:

http://www.aseda.org/avs/index.php?fuseaction=avs2006.housing

Let's show some of the out of towners a little bit of Atlanta hospitality...

Less than one month until the Atlanta Varsity Showdown!

We still have full weekend passes available for this weekend, but they are limited! Do not miss your chance to take lessons from the incomparable Skye and Frida and the many other great instructors that will be teaching throughout the weekend!

Please visit http://www.aseda.org/avs/ for information and registration.

Don't miss your chance to attend this great weekend!

Atlanta, if you can offer housing to our out of town guests, please register your housing availability on the website. It is a great way to meet new people and support the community!

What is the expectation if you volunteer to host? I don't have an extra room, just a terrible couch or a blow up mattress. I also live about half an hour from the events. Is there a "niceness" or "convenience" threshold our living quarters must meet?

You can sign up for hosting someone and put that in the notes... I will take that stuff into consideration when assigning housing...

As a host, you are really only asked to do two things: some sleeping space and access to a bathroom.

Here is a link to what we call guest and host etiquette.
