Another awesome event has come and gone! The Rhythmic Arts Festival in San Diego was awesome! Can’t wait until next year! Also! I took a gazillion pictures! I usually forget about the camera completely.

My photos on flickr.

Texas is flat! Okay, not all of, but most of what I saw was really flat. And, it was a lot cooler than I thought it was going to be. The weather was nice. The Austin Lindy Exchange was, of course, totally sweet. Great dancing was had by all. I even took a decent amount of pictures, though only of dancing.

On Saturday (the 18th) we went to the Salt Lick BBQ with a group of dancers. Oh wow. The food there is awesome. All the BBQ you could possibly eat. We all got the Family Style menu item and ate till we were sick. It was beautiful. It was a fairly long drive out to the middle of no where, but once there it was well worth the drive.

Also, I have updated my World66 visited states map. I hadn’t updated it in quite a while.

In case you’re wondering, I went to Minneapolis, Minnesota back in September for yet another Lindy Hop event (Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown).

I uploaded the video and have decided to post it.

I originally didn’t want to post it because of my very obvious screw ups. Also, I wasn’t always consistently on the beat. I have now chosen to call that syncopation. heh

Dancing and dancing in a competition is a lot different. It really isn’t, but in my head it was. No more! I’m done with that. I dance much better when I don’t worry about it.
