Subject: SwingBuffalo (LATE - SORRY!)

The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...

Sorry. The email is late this week. I was in L.A. for Camp Hollywood this past weekend and erroneously assumed I'd have free internet access. There is a lot going on right now, but I would like to take this moment to start hyping up the events coinciding with Buffalo Hop on the 30th. We will be holding a mini workshop with very skilled guest instructors from Waterloo, ON. The whole event will go from the early afternoon through the wee hours of the morning with top notch classes, a performance, awesome DJ'ing, a terrific dance, and more. More details to come! This event will likely draw in awesome dancers from surrounding communities, so don't miss it!

I know there are things missing from this email, as I haven't had time to go through my back-log of event emails. So I will be sending the regular email on Thursday which will hopefully contain more details about the 30th! Oh, and I know at least 5 people are going to Wicked Lindy Weekend in Boston this week. Let me know if you're interested in joining the caravan and I'll get you in contact with the right people!
