Perfect Day for Banana Fish
Due to the recession,
this email will be a third as short and one forth as funny as previous emails. And Andy Reid DJs tonight.
AIRSTEPS!
This week continues our month-long aerial series. Since we don't want you petering out on an airstep, we've brought in Peter Strom to show you how to throw the women you love. (I think all credit for that pun technically goes to Andy).

As a rule, we don't push non Jam-Cellar events in our mailing list, because you get enough event spam on Facebook. But, we make exceptions for two events; (1) Events honoring the memory of the greatest Lindy Hoppers of all time and people we think of as our grandfather (see last week) and (4) D.C.'s own International Lindy Hop Championships. The reasons why we make exceptions for this are because, (6) It's an incredible event with a great spirit and some of the greatest instructors, judges, and organizers in swing behind it, and (b) it's hosted in part by Nina Gilkenson, who many of you know as a charming, witty gypsy enchantress, but whom I know of as the person who decides whether my shower works or not. There are of course many reasons to sign up for this event, the third one being the incredible contest opportunities you will have to dance (There is every contest imaginable for every level imaginable, except senior citizens collegiate shag) (which they are working on), and, finally (one could say, penultimately,) Marty Klempner is not allowed to wear body grease while doing push-ups on the dance floor this year, which was officially the only thing from last year's event doctors qualified as psychologically damaging. The grease spot was also damaging to Luke and Bobby's famous Flying Fetochini Brothers Routine, where a slipped step brought their score from Best Routine In The History Of The World down to 5th place. Seriously, you don't want to miss this event. Sign up now at www.ilhc.com.
