    This just in... Jane and Shulie will be giving an ENCORE performance of their famed Manamana routine Friday night of Harlem Nights!!!

    Also, (besides the nightly trips to Logan's infamous Village Inn) we'll all be meeting at Logan's South OLD GRIST MILL for dinner Saturday night, 5:30-7:30. So if you're just coming for Saturday night, come for dinner and chill for a bit, OR just take a break from the workshops there. Great all-natural, home-made sandwiches, the best shakes in Cache Valley (Casper's -- the maker of Fatboys), and good times! Did I mention there's enough room to dance?

    next door to Macey's with the giant flag just like in Provo

    Firehouse Pizza and some great boba is across the street if anyone is craving some brick oven pizza or chinese beverages as well. SHOOT that makes me thirsty!

    Go ElChuy! Way to get a date! What are you doing?

    Actually we are just doing dinner and a movie... it's just a first date, so this is pretty low-key. However I do have high hopes for some future dates.. [Emoticon not found]

    I really want to go, but I need a ride. If the only way I can get a ride is to go for Friday as well (if that person is not coming back), then so be it.

    Is this the Cheri I know? Well, anyway, I was showing Kat and Mindy videos of Ria dancing and they were (or at least Kat was) nearly drooling with excitement over her styling. You coming?

    For anyone interested in helping set up decorations

    for Saturday, we will be offering a discount (I think it will be

    something like $5 off). Send me an email of your

    intention, phone number, et cetera, if you are

    interested. We'll be sending around a sign up list at

    club on Thursday, but for those who won't be there,

    you can contact me personally. Even out-of-towners

    can take part in this opportunity! Call me or find me

    on Friday to let me know you are interested. I am in

    need of at least 8 people to help me. The more we

    have, the faster it will go! We will hopefully be

    setting up decorations Saturday morning, before the

    workshops begin for the day. I'm thinking 9-ish.

    Feel free to call me:

    Tiffany Barnes

    ...$10 off for watching the door...

    so buzz there is hope!

    SWEET! I can finally learn how to follow!

    PS - My car is now fixed. Get this, a 100 amp fuse was blown. How? I don't know. But I can now drive if nobody else can and if people help pitch in with gas.

    Hey Buzz, are you going to be in Logan for the workshops on Friday?

    YES!!

    Can you pick me up from Taylorsville/Murray?

    If you are coming from Provo on Northbound I-15, take an exit on 4500 South (Exit 301). Turn left after the exit and you'll see a Conoco gas station. I'll wait for you there.

    What time you want me to be there?

    The workshops start at 5pm in Logan. Hopefully, we'll leave SLC by 3pm.

    Those vids are really cool. I'm using them to convert a friend to swing, but she's complaining about all the shakey cam. Next time I'm bringing my tripod.

    That and coming, sorry guys. . .

    Lol... it was fun. Pretty low-key (just a dollar movie and dinner), but I had a nice time talking to her. I'll probably ask her out again in a week or two...

    On a side note, I have to say that the first Zorro movie was far better than the second. Of course, they did have Anthony Hopkins in the first one, and he's the man, soooooooo....

    I kept looking up away from the camera to see the cool moves better, but whenever I would look up the camera would go down. [Emoticon not found]

    Do you have them organized somehow or do you just have them thrown together in a big file? I was just wishing my vintage shag, balboa, 20s etc.. each had their own files. But then again that would take too long.
