I’ve been really busy recently (even tho I haven’t done that much), but haven’t gotten a chance to write.
The 10 days have been spent in front of the computer - updating the website and converting from old to new. Over the weekend, I did take a Collegiate Shag workshop and learned a routine to “Man with the Hex” by the Atomic Rythms (the song apparently was on the Scooby Doo soundtrack. Huh. I first saw the Jive Cats in Fort Fun perform to that song.
On Tuesday, I went to a cafe’s open mic night because a few swing dancers were going to play there. They had a 6 piece band (well, 6 if you count the throat) stuffed into a couner accustomed to providing for a singer/song writer. They covered great songs (many of them danceable, which makes sense).
This weekend looks nice as well - Deb and Jeff (the swing instructors here) have invited me to skill share with them. They’ll make dinner if I show them a few moves. Sweet! And rumor has it that I might play on their soccer team on Sunday since they’re drastically short people on their team. HUTTAH! I haven’t played soccer in ages. It will be different, tho: it’s indoors.
Oh, and I’ve moved my flight dates: I’ll be in Denver at 7pm on Monday, July 5th.
