This week's Calendar Updates

I added a discussion thread to yehoddi.com -
"What's happening in Troy, Albany, Schenectady NY?"

In which I made a shameless plug for the shameless hussy's





2003 Swing Dance Calendar


You can join the fun

Send a message to swing@city-of-troy.com with the subject line containing blog or web log. I will add you to the Swingsters blog team, allowing you to post articles here.

Big Fun!

Thanks for the suggestions.


It has been mentioned at Savannah's (in Albany), on several Tuesday nights, that song title suggestions would not be complete without including the Allman Brother's. They tend to be blues-y southern rock - dare I say the "L" word?


As to methodology

  • It is currently fashionable.
  • Last year I tried using an on-line Web-based form for song title suggestions.
  • This way everyone gets to see what was contributed and they do not have to use a formatted response
  • For the truly geeking - you can also include most HTML formatting in your response, links are particularly encouraged (a href = " " ...). The only problem, don't hit the Enter key (i.e. new line) unless that is where you want a line break - otherwise let the system do line wrapping for you
