The guy who used to be on "Blues Clues" is playing at the bottleneck tomorrow night. Weird. And yet, I'm tempted to ditch swing night so I can go.

You're a Kansas City swing dancer?

[blythina]

Yes! I love it. It's SO addictive.

Neat. I keep in contact with an SME alum named Emily. She keeps in contact with Mark. I don't keep in good enough contact with him, but I see him about once a year. I noticed him on her friends list and thought, "Mark has a Livejournal?" His friends list was small enough to be manageable, so I started clicking, looking for other East people from my year with whom I'd lost touch

Ah, yes. I haven't been swing dancing that long, really. Not quite a year. I've really only done so at Louis and Company tho. I know Kenny... and Chrissy... and I've met Jake once or twice. I also know a Mark, tho I'm not sure what his last name is.

Anyway! I really want to learn more lindy hop. Most of what we do at Louis and Company is east coast. A little west coast mixed in as well, but most of the younger crowd isn't as familiar with west coast (sadly!). Things are kind of up in the air in my life right now, but as soon as things settle down I'm planning on branching out from Louis and Company, learning other types of swing, and hopefully road tripping for conventions and stuff.

Where do you go to swing when you're in town? I sooo want to do more than I have been lately. And I want to learn more. And dance with people who are NOT the people I've been dancing with for almost a year now. Lol.
