Ride to Firehouse?

SwingOrama Forum: Swing Venues: Ride to Firehouse?

Hey all....I'm a displaced Carolina shag girl who moved to Texas and got hooked on Lindy in Houston

. I'll be in San Diego Thursday night (Feb 7) and have heard that the Firehouse is the place to go.

I'll be staying at the Bristol Hotel and was hoping I could catch a ride with someone. I have NO clue about where the Bristol is relative to the Firehouse; I'm hoping it's not terribly out of the way....

Let me know if someone's willing & able to be a chauffeur!!!

Thanks

Hey, Jamie! I loved dancing in Houston! Do you dance at the Melody Club? Or were you at the Great Southwest Lindy Fest? I know many other San Diegans who have enjoyed dancing with Texans before.

E-mail me next week if you need a ride. Looks like Bristol Hotel is in the Gaslamp District.

Jamie, I'll offer, but wouldn't be able to pick you up until 10 at the earliest, with an ETA of 10.30 (Firehouse kicks off at 9.30). If you don;t get a better offer, I'm more than happy to chauffeur you (especially since the Houston peeps have always been more than friendly when I've been over there).
E-mail me if you need that ride and I'll give you my phone number): natalie_g_roy@yahoo.com

Ah, HopMicheal pipped me to the post.

The Bristol Hotel isn't actually in the Gaslamp, though it is downtown. It's on First Ave., near the Civic Center/San Diego Concourse.

Hey guys,

Yep, I dance at the Melody Club....I wasn't here for last year's Lindy Fest but I'm going to this year's! Since I actually live in College Station, it takes a good hour and a half plus to get to Melody Club; but it's the closest dance venue we've got--so we haul up there at least once or twice a week! Can you say 'hard core dance junkies'?

And, everyone, I'll be getting a ride from Valorie (thanks!). Thanks for the ride offers--you guys are great......I know I'm gonna have fun next week...

Erm.. would that be Firehouse?

By Melissa Varriano (Mel) on Friday, February 08, 2002 - 01:17 pm: Edit

well, the rest of us were at the firehouse last night, but no one 'really' knows where andy was.

By Andy (Hitman) on Friday, February 08, 2002 - 01:32 pm: Edit

that loud rumbling sound you heard earlier was, indeed, my brain farting.

By Jamie Callahan on Friday, February 08, 2002 - 09:39 pm: Edit

Thanks for letting me "Shesty Hop" with you guys at the Firehouse on Thursday.

What's shesty hop, you ask? That would be:
carolina SHag, wEST coast swing, and lindY HOP.

Alas, I can't take credit for that swing dance smush--Houstonite Leah coined that term for what it seems like we've been dancing lately in Houston!

Susan, you are one heck of a good Carolina Shag follow! Keep shaggin'....

Thanks for showing me the sights and sharing some dances.....hope to see some of you at LindyFest!

Jamie, it was nice to meet you. See you at LindyFest.

Thanks, Jamie! It was nice meeting you and I had a lot of fun dancing with you at the FH. Too bad there aren't any shaggers in town!

Jamie,

You can shesty-hop me any day; thanks for the dances! See you at the Great Southwest Lindy Fest!
