I just created a brand spanking new forum for news, updates and chatter about Yehoodi's 10th anniversary celebration from October 16-19 in New York City. Feel free to post your questions, ideas and suggestions for weekend there.
Note that we're asking the community to come up with ideas for what you would like to do during the daytime on Saturday, October 18, similar to how we loosely organized "Yehoodi U" in past years. Go post in that thread if you would like volunteer to organize something or have something you would like to do in NYC with a bunch of other lindy hoppers.
Also, we started a Facebook Event for those of you who are into that Web2.0 fad. Feel free to show us some social networking love there. |

| EileenO and the folks at Dance Manhattan tell us: "Nat Watson was a fixture at the Dance Manhattan practice sessions, always helping the newer students, taking them under his wing, teaching them Charleston or whatever they needed help with. Tonight, (8/19), 9-11pm, we will be holding a special extended 'Swing Practice Session' in Nat's memory. His daughters will be attending and there will be a condolence book available should you wish to express your sympathies to his family. No speeches, no flowers, no tears. . .just come for a dance or two to honor this man of few words and many gifts." (more info...)
