I just heard from Amanda tonight that she's going to
cancel Lindy Underground because of Catalina, and
that she in fact is going to Catalina afterall.

So.....maybe a "Late Night" LBtB with fireworks will be
in the works. I'll let ya know by midweek.

Yay to late night whenever there isn't a Jim/Margie or Amanda event.

About 20 to 30 showed up. Should I do this weekly?
twice a month? once a month? Was it just "post-exchange"
burnout?

The people that did show up had a great time. Meeshi played
some fun and refreshing music. But I'm just rethinking whether
or not demand for a weekly venue of this type is there.

Plus, who's going to Catalina? This just may not be a good
weekend to have LBtB. I believe Amanda is going to cancel
"Lindy Underground", so maybe I should also cancel LBtB this
weekend, even if I can't go to Catalina.

Thoughts?

I'd say at least twice a month. People were probably burned out from the exchange. I had a lot of fun! Thanks Jeff!

Jeff -

Don't judge success by the number of attendees, believe me, that will kill you every time. If you want to do it weekly, people will come, the attendence will rise and fall with each passing week, and everyone who sits outside by the bay and dances under the sun will have a blast!

YOU run LBtB. Make it what you want it to be, what you are willing to make it be.

PS - I've seen almost all of our regular venues with 20-30 people in it at one time or antoher. It's still fun.
And yes, many people were burnt out from the exchange.

I hope you have LBtB every week personally because I will be home for summer and it's one of my favorite events.

But it IS CANCELED this Saturday, June 7th. I did
get a little place in Catalina for Friday and Saturday,
and am just going to the dances.

Carli, when will you be back in town?

BTW, my vote is the more the merrier with LBTB. If they're at night, I should be able to make more of them.

Jeff: are you inviting people to crash with you?

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Jeff (Jeff) on Wednesday, June 04, 2003 - 12:21 pm: Edit

In Catalina? No. I've only got a 1br condo and the place if full.

Is LBTB on for this weekend, Jeff?

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of pageLink to this message   By Jeff (Jeff) on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 12:05 pm: Edit

YES!! But I'm trying to decide if we should do a "Late Night" version
from 6 to 10pm, or the usual 2 to 6pm time slot.

No lesson at 6pm, so dancing will start at 6.

Dunno yet. Wanna help out? Ron and Gary, as well
