Hey gang,

Two things of note coming up in early October, but before I get to them, I wanted to give you all an advanced heads up. There's going to be something a little extra special for the last Tuesday in October! Now, on to the early October stuff that you might find appealing.

1- Swinging in the Rain
I did some reconnaissance over on the PEERS tribe and apparently the band WILL be playing swing circa 1920. Which means that it will be more blues and lindy hop than jitterbug. There will also be waltzes and polkas and such. More information is @ PEERS.org and sample songs from the band are on their MySpace page: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm
This just in, Lee Presson (of Lee Presson and the Nails) will be DJing between the band's sets)

2- Obama-Rama
This is a fundraiser for Obama, but it features several burlesque performers and a set by Lee Presson and the Nails, so they'll be some swing dancing for sure. It's at The Rickshaw Stop on the 9th of October (from 8-11ish). This should be a blast, and for a good cause!
