Friday, July 23, 2004 The Ann Arbor Lindy Exchange It's time for some lindy hop sweetness in town, right in the middle of Art Fair: welcome to the EatME in Ann Arbor (a.k.a. Everyone's at the Michigan Exchange in Ann Arbor), with around 200 swing dancers gathering from all over the country to dance and dance and dance some more. (I'm not kidding about the dance part: Friday and Saturday events commence at 8:00pm and end at 5:30am.) If you don't know what an exchange is, read this, or click here if you want to get in on the action, watch some incredible dancing, or listen to fantastic live music provided by regional artists (I'd especially recommend listening to Ramona Collins on Saturday; we booked her because a few of us went to hear her sing at the Toledo Art Musuem and were blown away). As one of the organizers of this insanity, my bio and "title" appear in the info packet we're giving everyone who registered; I thought you might get a kick out of it, and I'll throw in a couple more for good measure: Dawn  Undercover Secret Service Agent
Known under a multiplicity of names, Dawn (Xiana Moon? Low?) is a (ahem) singer-songwriter posing as a lindy hopper for the weekend in order to track down a Jamie Sleazy Owner of the EatME Diner If you need anything this weekend—absolutely anything—go find Jamie… and he’ll point you to Janna (see below). As owner of the EatMe Diner, Jamie has been bribing health inspectors for years (enjoy the free grub this weekend!). Jamie’s biggest achievement thus far in life is overcoming his stunning lack of rhythm and landing a woman far hotter than he deserves. If you need to find him, look down, about butt level, for some fluorescent green pants... well, maybe orange or bright red. Janna Hostess with the Mostess True organizer and boss-over-all-of-the-exchange (read: delusions of grandeur). Yes indeed, Janna is that enormous ball of stress you passed at the registration table on Friday. When Janna is not organizing exchanges, she’s organizing weddings, or at least one in particular: hers. (Sure, two big events three weeks apart, no big deal, right?) When she’s not running around like a maniac trying to fulfill your every exchange wish, you’ll find Janna busy debating the pros and cons of brightly colo(u)red Modrobes, trying to blot out useless lyrics (Duke’s Place?), and keeping Jamie in line, her true full-time job. ^ Top | 7:26 AM | | |
