I agree about Lindy by the Bay. Even though a lot of the passersby are tourists, I think that it still provides awesome publicity. LBTB and Clayton's are are most public venues (although, I think the people passing by Clayton's are our best potential clientele, considering they are already late-nighters.) -- Ye "not Steve" dancer . . . or am I Steve? Hmmm... |

Practically everyone can quote lines from that movie! What... is your favorite color! |

I've actually got a copy of the script (meaning a xerox of it rather that an original) for that movie. It's kind of cool, as things are x'd out and changes are scribbled in the margins and such. But, I'm not Ye Dancer either... ;) |

"Run Away! Run Away!" "He is brave Sir Robin...." "What is the average air speed of an unladen swallow?!" p.s. Thanks, Ryan W. Enslow, first for always using your full name and second for confirming what I said earlier about why I'm staying anonymous. |

There was a great pioneering system in the online world called the WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link). It's still around (www.well.com) but has since been mismanaged, sold to Salon, and lost a lot of quality. In its heyday, however, it was filled with artists, Deadheads, politicians, and yes, even I'm sure homophobes, despite the generally liberal, progressive atmosphere. Not much name-calling, and direct attacks, however, because of the rules, which I'll get to. The first amendment was paramount at the WELL, but two things were critical to its application: First, "You own your own words." -- Anything posted is copywritten by you (assuming it isn't copywritten already). Second, "You are responsible for your own words." -- Everyone's real name was verified and confirmed before access to the system was allowed. Sean Peisert |

I'm saying things that could get some people (like you)to dislike me and I'm not hiding... and that is in fact my whole point. ... I've said it before on this forum, I use my full name for a reason, because it makes me accountable, and people on the forum have held me personally accountable for what I say in the past. I don't like being judged by invisible but vocal parties, and regardless of the validity of many of your points you are clearly judging me. Frankly, I think my little jibe is being very civil considering my opinions on the matter. "Help, help, I'm being repressed" Ryan W. Enslow ... who thinks this response might not be fitting to his idiom. |

didn't I dance with you last night? |

To each his own, my friend. I understand that you don't have a problem with the possibility of others looking down on you because of your expressed viewpoints, but I do. I'd rather my mild-mannered alter ego not have to deal with the repercussions of what I've said on the forum. (it's easier that way) And if you don't like me making fun of you anonymously, then don't set yourself up for it. You know full well that I'm posting anonymously, so when you bait me, what else do you expect me to do? (and don't say that you expect me to give up my anonymity, because I'm not going to . . . for now.) |

Is quoting myself a faux pas? >... I've said it before on this forum, I use my > full name for a reason I think when I said it beofre that it was in response to you, John. Yup, just checked my old posts... and it was you. No, you're not Ye Dancer. Whoever he is he has good points and communication skills. To everyone else. Yes, I know I'm being contentious, but I do enjoy this. I'll stop soon. Ryan W. Enslow |

> And if you don't like me making fun of you > anonymously, then don't set yourself up for it. > You know full well that I'm posting > anonymously, so when you bait me, what else do > you expect me to do? What? I never said that. I said I don't like you judging me... as in what you've been doing by judging San Diego from behind a proverbial wall all week. Your posts seem to imply (and yes, I can quote you but I'm not in the mood to do the cutting and pasting, I will later if you need me to) that you find San Diego close minded, slovenly and in need of change. It may be true, but I don't like you hiding to say it. Many others have said it here before, and while not all of them are my friends I have respect for all of them. But it wasn't until Steve became a suspect, for no other reason than we know Steve is good at pretending to be other people, that I felt the need to say something. I don't want everyone judging Steve by what you say... heck people make fun of me all the time, just they're usually those who know me. And my apologies to the rest of you for having to read this, I would have made it a private discussion long ago, but well... that is prevented by the lack of a private email. Ryan W. Enslow |

Ye Dancer imposters: you plans are foiled! I have created a password protected username, so there will be no confusion as to who the REAL Ye Dancer is. (Why anyone would want to pretend to be Ye Dancer, I have no idea) |

I am ye dancer, no wait sorry I am Tiger Woods, no wait, where the hell are those pills antipsychotics my ass. Hey Ryan, Sean, working late in a dark little room. |

So are Ryan and Sean working TOGETHER in a dark little room, all cozy-like? And how do you know this, Richard? Nevermind, don't answer that. Hmm, Ye Dancer doesn't sound like such a bad person. I don't agree with everything he says but he actually sounds fairly reasonable and articulate. Hmm, whoever could it be? I was supposed to catch up on sleep tonight and instead I wasted precious time reading this thread!! Ah, well, I suppose it was mildly entertaining. |
| By Sean Peisert (Speisert) on Wednesday, August 01, 2001 - 10:38 pm: Edit |
Richard! Good to hear from you, man...I thought you'd been disintegrated by one of your research projects again, it's been so long since I've seen you. Get out of that dark little room and come have a beer before we lose you to Italy (and more importantly, Italian food and Italian opera). Sean |

"Ni!" Golly, I've missed quite a crazy stew of tangled personal opinions and emotions. It was very strange not checking email or anything for weeks. The question is whether I really missed out on anything. Anyways, I'm back in S.D., and back again at a computer. Many of you have good points, and I don't think there is a right or wrong way to think, just different opinions. I'd like to just add some different thoughts on the clothing issue at Claytons. I'm all for wearing sweats and comfy things at some events such as the Firehouse (although I think we still need to have a bathing suit and firehose night there to cool things down). Someone mentioned an advantage to having people in "regular" clothes at Claytons. I'd just like to point out that "regular" clothes for the Gaslamp are a far cry from sweats, jeans, and gym clothes. The one time I felt way overdressed at Claytons is the night I had planned on going out as a "regular" person going club dancing in the Gaslamp and ended up swing dancing instead. So I think that people on the street just looking in might tend to feel more overdressed than underdressed. Many clubs in the Gaslamp will not let a guy in wearing jeans. So, trying not to come near the vintage vs. non-vintage issue with a ten foot pole, I will say that "dressing up" doesn't need to mean uncomfortable/unwashable/undancable clothes and can be quite fun. I personally love wearing a skirt; not only does it accent my turns, but I think wearing an extra full skirt can assist my balance while attempting multiple turns. What I think I've observed from this long thread is that everyone has an opinion, many people will belittle others for having a different opinion than theirs, and most people are not willing to compromise their opinion at all. So please, don't feel compelled to even reply at all to my humble opinion, it's probably a good thing if this thread dies quickly. I just wanted to post from the perspective of someone who frequents other areas of the Gaslamp often. And to say hi to everyone! So see you out dancing! ~ Ray "Ni!" |

Rachel- Welcome back! I remember that night, you were looking waaay good! Sequins or something. As far as I'm concerned, you can dress up that way anytime. What's with the picture in your profile? Blonde? |

Thanks HopMichael. Ron, that was a crazy picture from a show I did, "the unsinkable molly brown". I got to be a crazy saloon girl and wear an awesome wig. But my current picture is much smaller so those with slow modems won't hate me, and I'm now a red-head. _____________________________________ If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. -Isadora Duncan |

Back to the original topic-at-hand... ***TONIGHT AT CAFE SAVOY*** DJs Doug Leclair and Doug Silton pull out all the stops in an all-out DJ war to determine which DJ is really "TOP DOUG" in the SD swing event you've all been waiting for... THE BATTLE OF THE DOUGS formerly billed as DOUG-DAY AFTERNOON!!! But seriously folks, the two Dougs will be there, Ye Dancer will be there, and this will positively be your last chance to bid farewell to our dear friend Liz. She leaves for Japan this Sunday. We'll miss you, Liz! |

What's the scoop on Clayton's for this week? With Meeshi going up to the SF Exchange, will Cafe Savoy be open? If so, who'll be dj'ing? |
