The dancing was great the first two nights. Unfortunately the big night was crowded and the band was doing that too slow/too fast for 10 minute song thing, and there was no late night on Sat! Shame, New York. I suppose Sunday would've be fun, but I got food poisoning. Ugh. Regardless, the first two nights were so much fun, and so many of my favorite dancers were there that it was like a mini-Herrang for two days. Even a bunch of the Hot Shots showed up. The only thing missing was the freezing cold showers. :) |

Julius (LA)
explaining something very important |
It probably has to do with
spinning little fuzzy things |
The bandshell
is reminiscent of LiTP. It seems Lindy practices it's 'church' at bandshells. |
