Portland visits Seattle

Hey everyone! We're going to Century Ballroom in Seattle on Wed., Aug. 19. Want to come? Nothing is really going on, just the weekly dance, which is 21+. We know that some of you will be attending the Seattle Lindy Exchange and Masters of Lindy Hop and Tap. Binky always likes to visit places during the normal day-to-day schedule because she sometimes gets claustrophobic at large events...give her room to breathe...and DANCE!! We're hoping to leave Portland before everyone starts mucking up the freeways. One day, teletransportation will be a reality. Send us an email if you are up for the adventure.

Century Ballroom (map and directions)
9:00 - 9:30 pm Lesson
9:30 pm - 12:30 am Dance (DJ Travis will be playing the tunes)
$7 admission

Definitely going:
Binky, Mindy, Jessica, Geoff

Hopefully going, pending work schedules:
Emily, Josh, Andrew, Ida
