At some point I should turn this first post into a proper introduction of me but heck, you guys already know me. I initially wanted to have this just be the details on my pending trip to Scotland... which turned out quite lovely... smile



Feel free to post what ya' like... Here's the rest of my original post.







[I didn't quite feel right about posting this in Events and Gatherings since it will almost certainly degrade into conversations, insults, and probably me posting things like "Bluecat, where were you?! I waited for three hours?!?!" Also, it's a little cocky to represent myself as an Event.]



YES!!! It's TRUE all you beautiful people! I'll be in the UK this summer for TWO MONTHS! Start boiling the tea! Prepare your arms for BIG HUGS! Practice saying "I can't believe this guy has been spinning poi for three years and he still sucks that badly" in less offensive ways! (You guys didn't do so good last year.) And BY GOD hide all of the beautiful women!!! heart...

Not more swing CDs! I can't move in the flat because he's got so many swing CDs and I now can't stand swing!

I'm hoping he'll get into the later swing music which was more rock'n'roll. 8 beats and swingable, according to a dancing lass I know.






Oh dear!!! Rock'n'roll doesn't swing!!! This man CLEARLY doesn't know what he's talking about...

smile SWING biggrin








This one has even LESS idea what he's talking about - but at least i've got him all to myself to work on wink



Written by: NYC



Oh good idea. I think I've got some 50's stuff that works well and is dancable.






hmmmm... i sincerely hope for your sake that it IS danceble - Glåss has been enthusing about you so much ... i can't wait to meet you and drag you out to the dance floor ...

Chuck Berry doesn't swing? Elvis doesn't swing? "Rock around the clock" How about "Jump, Jive and Wail"?!?! That's rock and roll!! Brian Setzer? BBVD? Poodle skirts and two tone shoes doesn't swing?

Nope ... doesn't swing at all ... might be good-ish to dance to (yeah, well - to do bouncy r'n'r or jive to - but completely uninspiring to lindy hop to) ... but it ain't got that SWING babe ... Elvis rocks and rolls ... JJ&W? Yeah ... great jump blues music - but it aint swing ...



Basie, Ellington, NOW we're talking ...



Two tones, spats ... yup ... poodle skirts??? You gotta be kidding!!! 50s man! Wrong era ... Swing is late 30s to early 40s ...



well, MY kind of swing anyways ...

Glåss has gone off to do best-manly type stuff for a sister-ly type wedding so i'm stuck here left to amuse myself, and i thought, well, i'll amuse myself amusing you!



just so's we start off on the right foot (even before you arrive!) here's a hug



Any chance we get to keep you in London longer than as proposed on your intinerary? Edinburg's lovely and all - but it hasn't got Glåss (or even Mrs Glåss or really good SWING venues for that matter ...)

Swing late 30's early 40's? Oh so very wrong. It actually started in the 20's (ie Lindsey Hop)and has gone on and on and on. The Hustle is actually a swing and that started sometime in the early 70's.



I've danced forms of swing to funk, disco, jazz, soul, motown, beach, techno, rap, pop, country, big band, retro and latin.



Just the 30's and 40's? I don't think so.

oh my oppologies ... yes, late 20s is when lindy hop REALLY started (thank you Gidg for pointing that out). Late 30s to early 40s is when it peaked. I don't pretend to be no Xpert about swing but i know what i like - and the rock'n'roll music just doesn't do it for me (and it doesn't "swing" either, ie jazz played almost behind the beat). I've even done lindy to some bad pop music in my time, but you gotta come back to those big bands at the end of the day ...



But ANEEEEEWAYS why are you people indulging me (a swing dancer who has no clue about any form of juggling - be it poi or otherwise) on a poi forum??? I thought everybody would be pissed off at me for stealing Glåss away from you all and trying to get him to juggle girls to swing music! eek



and hey Dom, you think Glåss has an unhealthy obsession with swing music and swing dancing? HAH! ubbloco wait till you meet me saturday (apparently you're in charge of looking after me...) You are in for a treat biggrin biggrin biggrin



NYC!!! wave Your thread is getting hijacked! Tell these people to stop talking swing!!! wave



well Glåss says you all are the loveliest people on earth - so I gotta believe him ...



Meet you soon NYC

Don't worry about stealing Glass away, he was good, about 3 years ago. Now he's a has been who sits around talking about dancing as an excuse for why he can't keep up with the young'ns any more wink



See you on Saturday. Look for somebody taller, blonder, more beautiful, more charming but not as mad as Glass, and that'll be me.

Yikes! Sounds like that may hit a bit too close to home Mr. Dom. biggrin

And as for your Hugh Hefner days... Ms. HeatherFeather (the lovely lassie from New York that was out there a few months ago) seems to have remembered that you promised to marry her. She'd like to take you up on the offer. smile

Who's a pimp now?! If you're going to seduce all of the New York Chickeys, I'm going to have to bust out the NYC charm on the London Lovelies. wink

Of course Mrs Glåss,

The jazz and blues festival is from the 31st July to 8th August, just in time for our return from the EJC.

Swingy people in Edinburgh aren't that elusive, they just disguise themselves well as jugglers and the like wink

Close to home, but I speak the truth. Mrs Glass agrees with me. The man likes to use his posterior!

Of course I remember HeatherFeather! I does seem I keep promising to marry people then forgetting. There's a queue at the moment, and cute European accents come first, then NZ, then I'll get round to the cool NYC chicks!
