I'll be excited as soon as I have five free minutes to do anything other than be busy... :D

weeeeeeeeee!!!! Exchange coming up. I can't wait. It's been way too long since I've had me some exchange-ing. :)

Can't wait to hear Earl and Paul!

Directions are up

And housing notices went out yesterday, so if you think you should've gotten one, and didn't... let me know

If you think you might like a hotel... the two I'll suggest

if you don't want to spend a lot, the EconoLodge in New Haven

or, a hotel with Jacuzzi tubs in their spa rooms for a little more, the Fairfield Inn in New Haven

I can't wait! ... just gotta get through work this week and then woohoo! :D

Yay! Remember, don't be shy--dance with your friendly organizers when you can actually find them on the dance floor! :)

Oh but of course Rob! Don't worry, I shall keep my eyeballs peeled :wink:

Quoted from "Keither"
Do you follow, Rob? :D

You bet! :)

recovering from Denver, but ready for CTLX!

Can't wait to see a lot of you again in my backyard.

Got the templates and the layout all done for the picture site...

Go on and bookmark it - that's where all the pics will be. :D

And somebody better bal with me!!

That reminds me... can someone help me out with the bal turns? I can do the basic competently, but after 4 and a half minutes that can get pretty old. :wink:

So much is happening that I think I forgot to mention...

If you've got beginners, bring 'em to the Saturday night dance! Greg Avakian and Laurie Zimmerman from Philly will be our instructors for the beginner lesson at 7:30 PM! (I mean, as if hearing Paul and the lads wasn't enough reason for them to come!)

Tomorrow!! Wahoo!

Need to go shopping and clean the house for my hostees!

OK, online registration was supposed to end nine hours ago, but there was still demand for it, so I've extended it to midnight tonight (EDT)... Get it while you can if you haven't gotten it by now.

We start dancing today!!!

We started dancing last night! And the weekend will only get better!!!

15 will take you really north of where you want to end up... Take 95, and if it sucks, follow US1

Forgive my laziness for just copying this from swingmonkey, but I want to say thanks here, too:

OK, now that I've had a whole 6 hours or so of sleep--which feels like a full night's sleep at this point!--and before I finish trying to catch up on my email and errands... I know we tried to thank all the folks we could remember in the program guide, but I just have to add a few of my own personal thank yous for the weekend. First of all, thanks to all the DJs. When you have eight people who care so much about sharing great music, most of the secret to "organizing" them is getting out of the way. ;) Ditto for all our wonderful performers. The same goes for all our great musicians. I'm always impressed that folks who are so talented are also the classiest, nicest, most professional cats around. I hope that we'll have a chance to see Earl May again here in CT, and I'm psyched that the Love Trio will be back for ALHC soon! I also hope that those who missed Hot Cat on Sunday night will come back to see them another time--the real measure of a band is not how they perform for a big crowd, but the kind of energy they bring to a small one. Thanks, Jester, Daveybaby, and Remnent, for completing the "swinglovers.com" sound reinforcement team. Without Wil anchoring the afternoon spots, I wouldn't have slept at all. And without David and Tony packing up all the microphones and cables and deciphering how the heck all that crap fits into my Bonneville, I never would have had the late nights set up anywhere close to on time. And thanks to Kels, Beth, and everyone else who carried a speaker or two along the way. Joy, my sanity and I thank you from the bottom of our heart. Finally, although we appreciate the support of all the swing dance socities in CT, I think I speak for the whole CTLX board of directors when I say that there'd be no CTLX if it weren't for the CT Swing Dance Society. Please come back to CT on July 9th for their annual member party (not just for members!), when "all" I'll be doing is DJing and able to visit with the many of you to whom I barely had time to say "hello" or "I can't talk right now"...
