Desert Classic Anyone?

anybody know what's the temperature there? really dry and hot? hotel not near airport, so after airport, need rent car? Is the hotel expensive?


I know its too late for us to go this year, just for future info
 
You seriously are asking how hot? Well, let me tell ya! My parents live 3 blocks away from the hotel, and at their house on Friday it was 108, yesterday (saturday it was 109), today, when I left at 11 a.m. to drive home - it was 110. Yet, in the ballroom here I was, wearing a jacket - comfortably cold and thanking the person who invented Air Conditioning. "but it's a dry heat".
 
Standarddancer: you can fly into either the Palm Springs Airport (somewhat more expensive) and rent a car for about a twenty minute drive to the Hotel. Or, you can fly into Ontario (less expensive) and rent a car there. Depending on how fast you drive it is probably 45 min to an hour to the Hotel. The Hotel discount rate for the comp was quite reasonable, a little over $100.00.

It was a lovely event, well run, lots of great standard dancing.

Oh, definitely agree. I jsut find it even more useful to have all the results right here on DF. :)

But yeah, rather than going to winners circle, professional divisions, each of the 8 divisions (reminds me, missed cabaret/showdance if this comp had it), just go to o2cm and pick desert classic, and all major results were there on one page. Ironic that I didn't even think about that after normally staying up half night waiting for results. :) Probably because two couples I'm most interested in were at AAC this weekend, so know they weren't at desert classic.

Wow! I've heard they would turn to Pro. Well, I did not expect they would compete at Desert classic. Congrats to them, especially my new inspiration Elizaveta Divak!:banana:
 
Got home (back to San Diego) around 3:30am, so still groggy this morning.

I danced Friday morning, and then was doing photography for DecaDance the rest of the weekend. Had the unexpected pleasure of getting to meet both 3wishes and Debra, so that was a bonus (I always love meeting DFers, so thanks to you both for introducing yourselves!) :D

It was 108 degrees by 11am yesterday, and I was told that it ended up being 125 degrees later in the afternoon! In two words: TOO HOT!!!
