Autumn Classic

[Gumby]

Probably a silly question cause it gets smaller every year but anyone but me going?

I'll be there friday night (pro/am smooth) and Sunday night (pre-champ standard).

Hope to see someone there.

K. & I were going to go but then we decided to bag it. Our dance biorhythms are kind of low right now, and this competition tends to be small and expensive.

We almost didn’t go. The comp is small and I know the last couple of years the floor has been sub-optimal. Carl was really against going he gets really stressed about dancing on small floors – and I can’t blame him all I have to do is hang on and stick with him when it gets nuts- but D &G threatened us with death and dismemberment if we didn’t go (well not quite but G looked quite stern which is nearly the same thing) – Carl’s work schedule is quick crazy and we probably won’t have another comp till Holiday.

I’m reasonably stressed we completely redid the fox after IGB but were making progress we need a couple of outings to settle things down and figure out what is working and what isn’t.

This is will be the first outing for the orange gown (eek floats!) I’m so excited I’m making a pair of gowns for G. She bought one of my old gowns and got so many compliments at IGB that she is having me make her two more. I was happier about that than I was about my dancing that weekend. I am trading her for a dress of hers I’ve been in love with for years (Laurra - you might know it --the black and green with the slit - I think Ava made it). Old ballgowns never die they just get traded!
