With the demise of Cafe Savoy (and until we find a new Friday night venue), I think it's appropriate to diversify the music being played at the Firehouse (or at least when I'm DJing). When I DJed at LindyGroove last week, it went over well to play the whole gamut of swingable music from groovy to 30's jazz, and from boogie to bop and beyond.

So tonight, Brian and I will be playing music from all possible genres, and Shawna will help with a few random tunes of her own, to make for an "interesting" night of music and dancing.

I hope to see you there...9:30-12:15??

Meeshi,
Thank you for being so considerate of the diversity of dancers in San Diego. I appreciate this effort and will be at the Firehouse this coming Thursday because of this. Thanks! Zana

Well, its my shift this week, and I won't be playing any funk or novelty songs in the name of diversity, but plenty of jazz and jump blues from all eras. I just don't think dancers want as many novelty songs as other local DJs have been playing recently, but that's just my opinion.

thanks for the dance last night hepnat, I'm one of the beginner folk you danced with towards the end. Needless to say I was a tad intimidated, hence the excessive rambling in the beginning. Next time will be better!! (hopefully)

Meghann, cool to see you again. Yep I'll see you at pdx (hey only a few weeks to go).
Nachoman, what's your real name? I danced with quite a few leads I hadn't really danced with before, as I made a foray into "UCSD-land" at the back of the hall. It's so funny (as in weird) that you'd be initimdated (please don't be), because I'm still so intimidated dancing with a lot of dancers out there. I guess we're all human.

Hey I'm going to the Firehouse this Thursday and bringing an extremely good looking lead so all you ladies get ready. He is a latin dancer and is learning lindy but he is quite good. His name is Pany...pronounced like funny with a p. Make sure to ask him for a dance.

Hey, anyone up for Extraordinary Desserts before the Firehouse tomorrow (apologies to Meeshi's routine class, but we'll be thinking of you while we stuff our faces with cake).

For those of you not familiar with ED it's the best cake and coffee shop in a 300 mile radius and is situated on 5th Ave on the same side and just a few blocks south of the Firehouse.

No cliques, no attitude, just coffee and cake. Absolutely open invite. Say about 8.30? Post here if you're interested (cause I ain't gonna go and sit on my on without knowing that other bodies are going to turn up).

I'll sub cake & coffee to the first impoverished student to post back that their coming.

Nat, I'm thinking about going to the Firehouse tomorrow night. If I get out of my meeting in time I'd love to drop by. I'm a coffee-holic, and cake is good too. So maybe I'll see you there, but I can't garuantee it.

Nat, I'm planning on heading down to Tio Leo's for Hot Rod Lincoln; but I'd be very happy to join in at ED beforehand if you have a little group going.

Valorie

OK so ED is on, with Valorie and hopefully Cari so far, with Cari having first dips on the cake and coffee.
Hope to see more dancers there. There are so many people now that I don't know, and when I'm out dancing I seem to be be either dancing or hypnotised by watching other people dance. It would be cool to met some new people.

Nat

well have fun. Normally I'm stuck til about 9.30 on Thursdays, cause my boyfriend steals my car. But someone else might want to organise something.

AAAAAAAHHHH. I'm sorry I wasn't there Nat. I had tooooooo much homework last night, so much that I didn't get to go to sleep at all. I went to class and came home, and I fell asleep. I missed my meeting. YIKES! Well it's 11 something now that I have woken up and so I guess I will not be going to te Firehouse tonight. :( I'm sad. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone, and of course DANCING! I'll see about making it out soon.

Man, now I really feel bad. I heard it was awesome. Well, I guess I 'll have to make it up Saturday at LBtB. So everyone save me a dance or three.

Cari

The Firehouse was really kickin' last night (can I say that in an English accent?).

Thanks to all the follows for the fun dances. They were awesome! Sorry if I missed any of you. I was pretty spoiled last night, actually. I think I got asked to dance more than I asked people to dance. I guess that's what happens when you are DJing.

Yeah last night was super fun! I was really tired and a little grumpy but dancing made it all better.
