Amazing Weekend

Two nights of dancin with some of my favorite people..yay!!  Friday night was Fountain Square and a few of my favorite Night Train people were there, as well as my favorite Naptown people.  Indy Jazz Orchestra was there and played 3 great sets!  And there was a jam circle!  For those that don't know, and jam circle is when everyone forms a big circle on the floor and 2 people go out at a time and basically throw some of their best moves.  I love it because some of my best shots I've taken have happened then!  Then after that, a few people came out to my apartment for some late night blues.  I was a little disappointed with the turnout, but it was the first time we had done this.  But we are goin to try to make it a monthly thing, so hopefully the turnouts get better..

And then there was Saturday!  Doug tagged along with me up to Purdue to dance at the monthly Saturday night jam.  Kelli and Joel both had great sets, and I got to catch up with several of my favorite people that I haven't seen in a while.  And then Hu was havin a blues party at his place, which just happened to be the dorm that he is an RA at.  So I got some more good blues dances in!  

And now, I'm goin to Chicago tomorrow night with Fei and Claire to go dancin at Fizz.  I'll be sure to give a big rundown of that first in my next post!  Until then- keep swingin!! :) 

Dancin On The Water

Oh swing dancing...  So last night was Lindy on the Canal, where we set up and dance downtown at the canal for 4 hours.  Its always a good time because 1) its swing and 2) its swing.  I'm gettin to know more of the Naptown Stomp people and developing friendships with several of them.  

But last night was particularly exciting for me because it was the first time that I dj'ed.  Swing dj'ing is something that I've been wantin to start doin for a while now, so I was pumped when the opportunity came up.  As far as I can tell, everyone like my set even though after I'd already transitioned into some blues music toward the end of my set I had to go back to some regular swing stuff.  But I guess I'm not surprised by that because very few of the Naptown people blues dance.  So I appeased them with a couple more songs, then finished out with a few of my favorite blues songs.  So now I'm in my happy place thanks to last night, and all is well in the world.. :)

Interesting....

Wow, I have a blog.  People that know me know that I'm not usually big on writin stuff like this..  But I've come to a point where I need a place to "think out loud".  I've been livin in the 'big city' for a year now, and am kinda on my own.  All my family lives an hour south, and about 90% of my friends live an hour north.  So I just need a place for my random thoughts or crazy rants.  

So, a lil about me..

Photography, swing dancing, music, sports, family and farming are what make me happy.  I'm an artsy hick that loves sports..  You'll learn more about these loves as I post more..
