Amy, thanks for driving last night. I had a blast. And of course great chats with Maya. Plus BadKitty was there too.

Yes, thank you for dragging me off my butt to make the drive, it helped release that tension. You're a great inspiration to watch... plus those leads in OC loved dancing w/ you. (and I think they get a kick out of watching you lead me) lol

BadKitty... good seeing you out, hope to see you tomorrow night as well.

One more thanks... Jason I appreciated you taking care not to hurt my hip. I'm a little sore today, but not in pain

Its fun to see which San Diegans will show up at TJs on any given night. It was great seeing you, Nat! I don't see you very often on the weekends when I'm in SD. Amy, it was a pleasure as always to see your beaming face! Dr. Chin is eagerly awaiting a dance with you. ;-)
Actually, I didn't introduce you guys to get you to dance together - I was just trying to include everyone in the conversation. He is one of my favorite dance buddies. He also has a very light lead.
Maya and Nat were burning up the floor, dancing together to "Fire".

That was the best dance of the night for me! Man that was fun! Love that song... And watching Jason almost spontaneously orgasm over anything Nat lead, or maybe it was just over Nat in general, was funny. Amy, you rule! I still can't believe you've only been dancing under a year. (Nat and I were sweetly seething jealousy while watching you and Jason dance to Michael Jackson.)Glad you two came up. Good friends and good advice on buying pants. Don't get much better than that!

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Nat (Hepnat) on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 10:02 am: Edit

Amy, you're making me blush!
I love being a girl lead. Even though I suck I get to dance with all the great follows cause their friends.
I think we should tie Amy's legs together for a few months so she can't dance and get any better and show us up even more. Maya, you hold her down, I get the duct tape.
For those of you who haven't been to TJ's it's got a reallt great atmosphere, nice range of music, a pretty decent floor, a bar some really good dancers and....jam circles!!

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Amy (Blueangel) on Friday, April 26, 2002 - 12:28 pm: Edit

Bad Kitty - thank you for introducing me to the "Dr", he was indeed light and fun. (I have to give him props for dancing w/ us tall follows)

Maya & Nat & Bad Kitty ~ thank you so much for encouraging me .. I'm definitely in a slump, though, but I'm hoping the workshop w/ Kevin & Carla will jump start me again. But if I looked ok dancing w/ Jason, its cause he's willing to dance with me everytime I'm up there. (helps having a steady lead)

oh and PLEASE don't duct tape me, I'll lose heart!

Is there a carpool heading up this Wed at all? If so, any room for a HepNat?

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Amy (Blueangel) on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 02:20 pm: Edit

I think Gene is driving besides me. Which means he'll prob have Sherri & Shawna....
I am planning on driving (Carli & Deidra) but since I'm on call for my night flight Deidra said she could drive if I'm flying.

The thought would be to meet at the park&ride off of Vista Way West (right after 78east) around 8ish

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about driving up to TJ's tomorrow. Sherri's out of town, so I'll be going solo. Would anybody like to ride up with me? I can take up to four people in my sleek silver sled(my old rusty chariot has long been retired).

Please email me by tomorrow evening if interested.

Rode up with Shawn, Charlie and Vicki (sp?). Thanks to Charlie for driving.
Had such a good time. Boy was that place HOT last night.

It was all you! Your jam was awesome.

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Nat (Hepnat) on Friday, July 26, 2002 - 02:16 pm: Edit

I thought I was gonna pass out with the heat, lack of sleep and just general exhaustion. Ditto last night at the Firehouse.

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Gene (Gene) on Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 10:20 pm: Edit

That jam for Natalie at Tia Juana's was HUGE! When Shesha announced to everyone that she was going home to England for good, not only did it get a collective "OH" from the crowd but all the best leads from OC and LA stepped up and gave Nat a big send off dance or two.

It was funny to watch some of the guys fight off one another to get a chance to dance with Nat. Few were lucky to even get a full two eight counts in with her! Even Sailor Mike and Tip West from LA and Shesha got in there. I knew I would get my chance to dance with Nat later at the Firehouse, so it was best for me to stay out of the fray and enjoy the show from the sidelines. Whether she was following or leading, she was looking really good out there and having a real good time of it.

Nice to see one of our own get that kind of response outside of San Diego. Miss HepNat is not only a very cool person and a fun dancer, but she's perhaps one of our best ambassadors our scene had.

By this Monday, we will all miss her so.
:-(

Yeah, I got to dance with Tip, I got to dance with Tip.

Tip rocks! We had a few dances recently... I just love how he's such a pimp ;)
MISS YOU NAT!!!

Speaking of Tip, Tip and Mike's Swing Pit will be taking over Tia-Juana's one time only this Wednesday night! If you haven't been to their Saturday night gig up in Glendale, you're in for a treat! They'll be bringing their brand of swingin' tunes and fun as far south as they've ever been.

I'll be driving up with Sherri and I can take three more people in my car.

Who else is going?

I'm confused. Tip and Mike are running Tia Juana's this week? Is that correct. I just want to make sure I know where I am going for my Birthday. I hate getting lost.

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Banquo (Banquo) on Tuesday, August 06, 2002 - 04:24 pm: Edit

Yes, I'll offically say that Tip and Mike's Swing Pit will be taking over this week for Shesha and Terra at Tia Juanna's!

Tia Juanna's is located off of the Sand Canyon exit on the 5 freeway behind the La Quinta Inn. It's address is 14988 Sand Canyon, for more info check out http://www.swinginfo.com

Swing Pit is one of my favorite LA venues due to the quality of both the promoters and the music. Everyone should try to make it out to TJ's this week to check it out!

Gene, I have Wednesday off, count me in. I lost my voice at Camp Hollywood and am not sounding too stellar to call. I shall try for another dance with Mike, hee hee, come hell or the shim sham! I am told I should not leave the house until my voice stops squeeking, per "Doctor Yi".

Stop it, David. You're popular. We're just a bunch of slugs. (OK, maybe just me.) Sorry about Mems the other night. I'm just an old lady who needs lots of sleep.

I need a Chris fix.

chris? ummm... sure... if i'm driving, i'd have to go your way anyways. Then again... if more people want to go... my car is not the best bet... especially for all of San Diego's extraordinarily tall lindy hopper's.
on a side note, any of you seen Jordan and Tatiana dance (Westies)? Dude, they are awesome! They don't even look all that westie, you know the cheesy disco look and flapping hips, they look like westie + hollywood style (and hip hop), at least from what i can tell of other westies i've seen. By the way, i'm not going to go all westie , hahahahaha... i just wanted to mention... i dunno, its pretty cool---David
