PS. If it wasn't for you taking time out to give me my first lesson at LbtB I might never had continued to come dancing. Also I wouldn't have met my best buddy - thank you!

Okay...I'd like to get LBtB up and running on a regular basis again.
(Oh, how I wish we'd had it today!!! So beautiful. Must have been close
to 80 degrees at the beach).

But, I need some helpers. The past two weeks I would have had it but
my son, Jordan, has had tournament baseball games on Saturday. I
need folks to help out when I can't make it and to cover for me if I have
to leave for awhile.

Any volunteers? If you have a van or station wagon, SUV, or the like it
would help.

Thanks,

Jeff

I'm thinking the weather should be okay. "Sprinkles" possible, but not
much rain". Should we go for it????

YES! LET'S GO FOR IT!! Just got word that the headphone jack on the mixer is
repaired and ready to go! So I'll go pick it up and we'll be ready to rock!

Since Ron will be gone, are there any DJ's that would like to help out?

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to let you know that there is a new summer schedule for LBtB. You'll not have to wonder if it is or isn't happening this summer. And there are some new improvements: the same old free dance will include a free lesson with many of San Diego's best instructors, and the tunes will be continually spun by SD's top DJs!!!

The lesson will be from 3-4pm every saturday.

The dance will officially run from 4-7pm every saturday, except the third saturday of the month. Because of the wonderul Champion Ballroom dance LBtB will end at 6pm on the third Saturday of the month. In the past, on a non-third Saturday, "Late Night" Lindy By the Bay has lasted until the Sea World fireworks light up the sky!

Lindy By the Bay is
San Diego's Summer Swing Hotspot!!

Here is the instructor's schedule:

May 11: No lesson-Jenna's Birthday Party!!!
May 18: No lesson-San Diego Exchange Party!!!
May 25: Lesson with Jeff Eldridge
June 1: Lesson with Billy and Susan
June 8: Closed for Catalina
June 15: Lesson with Chance and Mel - Champion Dance
June 22: Lesson with Chris and Shana
June 29: Lesson with Chance and Mel
July 6: Lesson with Jim and Margie
July 13: Lesson with Tan and Valerie
July 20: Lesson with Chris and Shana - Champion Dance
July 27: Lesson with Jim and Margie
August 3: Lesson with Emily Belt
August 10: Lesson with Tan and Valerie
August 17: Lesson with Billy and Susan - Champion Dance
August 24: Lesson with Meeshi
August 31: Lesson with Emily Belt
September 7: Lesson with Meeshi
September 14: Final Lesson with Jeff Eldridge

So bring a lawn chair, dance, and/or listen to some good music while you sit in the sun. Tell your friends...This is going to be a great summer event.

*I'm still working on the DJ schedule. I will post it as soon as I get it together. If you would like to DJ, e-mail me.

*Teacher's schedule is subject to change.

This is going to be sooooo cool!!!! Thanks so much Chance for
coming up with this GREAT IDEA and setting up the teachers and
DJ's for each week! What a great way to get a sampling of ALL of
San Diego's best teachers. (fyi...Chance has been working on this
for a few months now and has worked hard to set up all these dates
with the teachers and DJ's, so BIG KUDOS to you, Bro).

And, yes, there will still be "Late Night LBtB" as the nights get warmer
and longer, and as there's an interest for people to stay and have a "LBtB
After-Dance", with Sea World Fireworks!!!

Starting May 11th, the next LBtB, I could use some "able bodies" to help
me get the equipment down to the boardwalk. The Hilton will no longer
allow any cars on the concrete because of the weight. I'm hopeful the
maintenance guys will help me with their golf-cart type vehicles, but
even if they do, we'll still have to transfer the equipment from my car
to their carts and down to the water. So if you can help, show up 2:30
at the Hilton registration area. (Chris, the really cool guy that blows away
all the sand after each LBtB, and completely cleans up after us, has said
he'll help with his "golf" cart type vehicle, so afterwards is covered. I just don't
know about Rafael who's on when I get there at 2:30pm. He's not as outgoing
and friendly. Btw...we really should do something cool for Chris. That guy has
cleaned up after us every LBtB for almost two years. I pay him $25/night, but he
deserves something special. Got any ideas?)

Thanks!

Jeff

Does he dance? We could give him a dance or two as a start. I'll think about it and get back to you.

No, Chris doesn't swing dance. And when he's at the Hilton, he's
"at work". Maybe once we can give him what we collect in donations.

Way to go, Jeff and Chance! The flyers look great! It is so awesome to have a FREE event like this. Also, such a great way to show off the best of San Diego for out-of-town dancers!

How about we give Chris a thank-you card featuring a photo (from the Exchange) of our appreciative faces?

Jeff,
Does LBtB start at 4pm this weekend? What time should I be there?

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Jeff (Jeff) on Tuesday, May 07, 2002 - 10:39 pm: Edit

Even though the lessons don't start until May 25th, I'm going
to start at 3pm and go 'til around 7pm. If you want to help set
up, be at the registration entrance at 2:30.

Thanks!

Jeff

naw, the store I went to said they never carried what I was looking for, but Escondido might. (bleh!)Perhaps I will take you up on crusing to your store wherever that may be, and if ya want, hit up the closet as well. (mesh=good!)
