I just got back from Camp Hollywood 2006 a few hours ago. I had a blast, which came at no surprise I might add. I didn’t actually dance as much as I thought I would (I took 16+ shirts with me), but had a great time anyway. I competed in a few competitons with no results to speak of, except of course, in the team division. I am a part of the “Salt Lake Jitterbugs” swing team. We took 2nd place (out of three teams)!

See my photos on Flickr. Well, photos taken with my camera anyway. I took a few of them, but most were taken by friends wielding my camera.

The carpet in the LA Marriott hotel is great, isn’t it?

Last Friday I drove down to Moab, Utah to go four wheeling for a day. I got there around midnight Friday night, slept and then spent Saturday out on the trails around Moab with the guys who run 4wheelsupply.com. I drove back home Saturday night. My friends were there from Thursday to Monday. A good time was had by all. I’m thinking I should get some sort of vehicle to turn into an off-roading vehicle. A Jeep? Tacoma? Hmmm….

Wow. I just got back Camp Jitterbug, the best lindy hop event I’ve ever attended, which was held in Seattle, Washington. Amazing music, amazing dancers, great workshops, great hosts, great company (I stayed in a small one bedroom apartment with 17 other people), great city, awesome competitions, amazing music, amazing dancers, and you get the point. I think the main thing for me was the music. I love fast, bouncy, “charleston” music and there was plenty to be had in Seattle. I am in love. The faster the music, the more energy I get.
