    To celebrate the International spirit of ILHC (in Washington DC, August 19-22), we took our recent press release (below) and used Babel Fish to translate it into Russian to Korean to German to French to Chinese to English (further below). But if you’re in a hurry, know simply this: Jonathan Stout, Boilermakers, a dozen contests, many of the greatest dancers from around the world, and, until April, only $139. Register here: http://www.ilhc.com

    Now, onto our shenanagans. The English press release:

    ILHC's goal is to represent the spirit of international swing dance in the modern Lindy Hop community. It's only February, and we have already drawn this year's pool of dancers from the towering snow-swept mountains of Ontario, the picturesque medieval countryside of Prague, and the home of svelte Vikings, Stockholm, among others. This year also has an incredible line up of bands the old-timers would say are "righteous" and would "blow the top." They are full of "cats" like Jonathan Stout who "swings with his boots on" and The Boilermakers, who "jam it hot." There's also more contests than you can shake a stick at, filled with dancers having the greatest times in their lives. Will you be one of them?

    And now, English to Russian to Korean to German to French to Chinese to English: (I had to clean it up slightly, but nevertheless, these are all actual Babel Fish translations from these languages.)

    ILHC' s aims today is to represent [the] cave spirit of the international dance of rocking in the most modern community of Lindy Jump. It's February bay, and we already pulled at this year, high from rising swimming pools of the dancer’s crowd from the snow which towered has swept clear the Ontario mountain, picturesque medieval rural locality Prague, and a house of slender Viking families, Stockholm. At this year also, the old friends saying will be "a belt's unbelievable alliance; righteous" and “blows top.” They have many “cats," like Jonathan Fierce Black Beer, which “Oscillates with its rockers on,” and The Boiler Manufacture Persons, whom “Back-ups you hot." There' s more competitions [that] possibly also vibrate the stick compared to you, filled with dancers having long times in their lives. Whether you will be in them one?

    So, there you have it.
    ILHC 2010: It Back-ups you hot.
