Was I there? (http://www.dance-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4205).

If you're still here (I don't know if you're competing today or not), I'll only be here Saturday AM and PM. I will be at table 16 with my camera trying not to gawk too much. (White shirt, black pants, yellow tie today.)

Posted the one good picture of the two dancing (waltz) that I had up in the Photo Album > Ballroom. As it is usually the case, I had battery issues and couldn't do better under the circumstances.

You know I read the other thread, but I guess I was too preoccupied with our own dancing this weekend to comprehend...

Anytime anyone is around please feel free to come say hi, I am usually not too social butterflyish...but would gladly meet and talk.

Etchuck...I wish I had paid more atttention...
I am home already, we drove back last night.

Congratulations Larinda and Stephen.

Etchuck: I couldn't figure out which picture you were trying to point us to. I'll try again. Did you get to enjoy the big apple at all? I wish I could have been down there just to make it to one of those Yankee/Boston games. Woo ha!

Don't worry about it. As someone who knows my own mindset when it comes to competing, I wouldn't have bothered you anyway. Oddly enough I didn't even realize you were dancing (it's not like I've ever met you before or seen you dance) until a couple of your students (I guess or friends) were positioned behind me and started saying, "Go Larinda." Then it hit me.

I also spent that morning waking up a 4:30 am to catch the 7:00 am flight from Raleigh up to Newark. Unfortunately I went o bed around 1am, so I might not have been in the best of mindsets.

To everyone else, there is a pic which I labeled Stephen and Larinda in the Ballroom Dance photo album.

I don't think I can put up pictures from today for a while. I realized I can take 300+ pictures with my camera... when I ran out of frames. Eventually I'll put them up perhaps on my fotopic account. Just note, it's for private use.
