Quoted from "lucylane" general notice to intruders on this thread:
first, my condolences on not being able to read.
After the shabby way that lucylane treated me two weekends ago, when she flew all way from Ireland for a wedding a mere 60 miles from my home and failed to mention her visit to me, I feel no qualms about intruding on her thread.
I thought we were friends. Afterall, I taught her to run and even pretended to be interested all those times when she went on and on about her sewing problems. She makes one jacket that lights up and suddenly thinks she's too good for everyone else. I used to look up to you, lucylane. Now, I spit on your Rockstep(TM).

Thanks for making me laugh--best yehoodi thread ever!!!
I still think you are both the best dancers ever. Miss Lucy was my idol when I was a brand newbie, and would make trips down to the Big Red Barn on some Friday's. Now; she's my idol for making a light up coat.
Listen 24 hours a day! Weekly updated shows
lucy and jojo only
dear god, lucy. what has happened to this scene? i think we have a crisis on our hands.

i have quite simply been hiding out, creating the future of lindy hop. what have you all been doing??
...Bitching about "Blues Dancing."
...I was playing music instead of dancing to it.
y i no haz signature? Come on people, make with the funny.
So... in the future, your track pants dance for you? Or do they just light up?

Beckto--that was supposed to go in the thing's You like thread.
Ducks out--to stop interrupting Lucy and Jo Jo's funny thread.
Dude,...
Why do I like you? :wink:
It's vegan, and yet it's still better than blues exchanges.
...but not as good as brains.
Oh shiznit. Now Julie's back. This place has really gone to hell, hasn't it? :wink:
Maybe they're planning an Ithaca Exchange, The RockStepTM ReUnion.
You mean this reunion?
