I saw that San Diego was part of the SoCal road trip for the band. I hope they roll out more than the usual extra flooring. |

Yes! Lavay is back in town! For those who've never heard her band perform live, I highly recommend attending a concert. Same band that put out the album "One Hour Mama" with "Oo Poppa Do" and "Blue Skies" and "Walking Blues (Walk right in, Walk right out)" Great sound and personable band. |

The last time they were in town was one of the best swing nights San Diego has had. The show, the energy, everything. |
| By Ron on Friday, April 28, 2000 - 12:24 pm: Edit |
Say, this is coming up this next Wednesday! This is a do-not-miss show! Don't count on room for dancing, though. |
| By HopMichael on Friday, April 28, 2000 - 12:41 pm: Edit |
Hope to see everyone there! It's going to be a great show! |
| By Shawn Hanna on Friday, April 28, 2000 - 01:01 pm: Edit |
Shhhhh....keep it quiet! |
| By HopMichael on Tuesday, May 02, 2000 - 02:04 pm: Edit |
Say, anyone know what time the band starts? What's the cover? And, perhaps more importantly, is the Catamaran expanding the dance floor? David? |
| By CatThyme on Tuesday, May 02, 2000 - 02:16 pm: Edit |
According to the Night and Day, the show begins at 9pm and the cover is $12. |
| By HopMichael on Tuesday, May 02, 2000 - 02:43 pm: Edit |
Thanks, CatThyme! And you will be there, I trust? |
| By CatThyme on Tuesday, May 02, 2000 - 02:59 pm: Edit |
I will indeed! I have no idea whether or not my Brazilian guest joining us... He sounded quite intrigued, though. He seemed to enjoy the Champion Ballroom on Saturday. |
| By HopMichael on Wednesday, May 03, 2000 - 09:21 am: Edit |
Mmmm...Brazilian swing...Ladies, watch out! |

Also, I just called the Catamaran, at 858-488-1081, and asking to speak to someone in charge of the Cannibal bar, they connected me to the voicemail of Robert Fisher who is "Beverage Dept. Mgr and Entertainment Director" and I encouraged him by voicemail to have a large dance floor for tonight's concert. If anyone wants to do the same, it might help! I'm not sure if he's the exact right guy to talk to, though. |

good idea ron...i left a message too : ) hope it's not too late for them to make changes if needed. can't wait! what an awesome extended weekend...lavay in s.d., ithaca, and perhaps johnny? : ) |
| By HopMichael on Wednesday, May 03, 2000 - 02:56 pm: Edit |
Hey, I called yesterday too and got the same voice mail as well. I wonder if he thinks there's a rabid band of dancers ready to descend now. |
| By Joe M on Wednesday, May 03, 2000 - 04:49 pm: Edit |
I called and got the bar. Not sure if he got the hint for larger dance floor for the large crowd. Joe |
| By HopMichael on Wednesday, May 03, 2000 - 05:04 pm: Edit |
Sweetness! I'm done with work and gettin' ready for Lavay! See you on the dance floor, everyone! |
| By HopMichael on Wednesday, May 03, 2000 - 05:38 pm: Edit |
Hey, I just received a message from Mr Fisher of the Catamaran There WILL be an Extended Dance Floor this evening! The people have spoken. (must have bugged the heck out of him, eh?) |
| By Ian Campbell on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 08:56 am: Edit |
Two words: am azing |
| By Shawn Hanna on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 09:39 am: Edit |
That was an incredible night! So many faces that were new to me. Gives one hope for the survivability of our liitle scene. |
| By Ron on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 10:03 am: Edit |
Awesome. The biggest crowd I've ever seen at the Cannibal Bar for a swing event. Great energy, great music... |
| By Cheryl on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 10:06 am: Edit |
Shawn, It was nice to see you out and about since there has been some talk of you being a fake computer entity. I was beginning to doubt my recollection of ever dancing with you (especially since it was ONE dance a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago!). =) |
| By Jeff Eldridge on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 10:11 am: Edit |
Great night. I even got to dance with Lavay!!! Again!!! |
| By Shawn Hanna on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 11:20 am: Edit |
I'm sorry Cheryl! I cannot wait for our next dance! (Jeff, you dog. Lavay was sure looking good...) |
| By HopMichael on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 04:55 pm: Edit |
It was great to see everyone at the show last night! Seems like every dancer came out of the woodwork to catch Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Lickers. What a great dance community we have! Ain't she sweet? What a voice! And what a radiant smile. And, perhaps most importantly, what a dancer-friendly attitude. I think San Diego impressed Lavay and company with our love for the band. Certainly that encore-demanding clap/chant got Chris Siebert (on piano) going. As I've posted elsewhere, Chris is an amazing piano player. Did you see how he kept everyone dancing with just his solo boogie-woogie piano playing? Even adding a little "C-jam Blues" riff within the boogie-woogie structure off the cuff. *Sigh* Is there any way we can get Lavay to come more than once a year? Oh, one other thing: Chris Siebert said they were playing at the Derby (in LA) this weekend, if you missed it or want to hear more of the band. |
| By Ron on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 05:00 pm: Edit |
They even had an expanded floor. Well, sorta. And no side tables. |
| By HopMichael on Thursday, May 04, 2000 - 08:05 pm: Edit |
I must add that cardboard remains a very loose definition of "expanded dance floor" But hey, that's what Mr. Fisher said. I suppose it was better than nothing. |
| By Cheryl on Friday, May 05, 2000 - 07:52 am: Edit |
well...I think that I enjoyed dancing on the carpet more than the super duper slippery cardboard. I almost landed on my rear a couple of times. =) |
