Hey Guys,
I'm strongly concidering going to Atlanta Varsity Showdown this year. I stole this from a Gainesville Swingout message:
Registration for this year's Atlanta Varsity Showdown (Oct. 16-18) is now open! We have an amazing instructor lineup this year including Evin Galang, Bill Borgida, Andrew Thigpen and Karen Turman! We're also bringing back the best dance venues and DJs that made AVS so fun last year. In case you haven't attended before, AVS is particularly great for beginners, intermediates and swing scene builders, so come ready to learn! That's three days of social dancing, world-class instruction, competitions and AVS antics for only $50 a person! Visit http://www.aseda.org/avs for more information.
There is a special group rate this year (available for the entire weekend only): $40 per person for groups of 5 to 9, and $30 per person for groups of 10 or more. I'm sure Gainesville can swing at least a carload (we've had a dozen attendees in the past), so that turns out to be an exceptionally sweet deal.
