    Re: Scorch 2011

    So this is my first ever Weekender!

    Curious about Sack The DJ - do you need to bring CDs? iPod? Laptop? I guess iPod or laptop would be easiest for me... If there's just a mini-jack lead I can plug into either?

    Or, possibly, he was just trying to big it up and flog it to me after I mentioned doing the Tango to him when I checked-in to SP.

    There are two - but even then, that's 1 less than at Camber. There's the same amount of AT classes also as were at Camber. So it seems a little less AT-focussed than Camber... Mike lied!

    Seriously, I'm not sure why they've got an AT musician headlining the event - it doesn't seem more "AT-focussed" than any other weekender... Confusing.

    No, sorry, I meant SP, not Camber, I got my dates mixed up. AFAIK the June Camber is just a normal weekender.

    On the plus side it's plenty of ammo for the inevitable bitching on the review thread

    I'd like to hope it might be a bit more friendly than that.
    At one SP last year we erm 'took over' the pod for a bit. KPS plugged in his i-pod a bunch of us danced - I rescued some of my cake from the blues room, other people came, danced, some went away again...et voile...impromptu party.
    It would seem a bit petty to exclude people

    You can bring CDs, iPod or laptop, but you will need to bring your own cable to connect it to the mixer.

    It does sound like it's cliquey so I'm hoping we're just misunderstanding...

    Yes, there may be one there, but always best to bring your own with you, just in case.

    If we're not misunderstanding and someones having a party, with good music and I'm not invited... I'm going to pull the plug out and deflate it..!

    Was thinking of you yesterday and happy to read you'll be along. Will be great to catch up - glad to see you are planning to sort the weather as it's been pants up here recently.

    If you believe the long range forecasts it's going to be sunny, dry, breezy and fresh the whole weekend with little chance of any rain. It won't be hot or humid, but should feel reasonably warm during the day if cool in the evenings. Pretty much perfect for dancing then. Bring it on!

    The boss won't be there unfortunately, just me and little Jennifer. Am sure can manage a little hug or two and maybe even a little huggy bluesy number?

    Apparently you can hire your own pod .. maybe it's time for a rebel milonga? I may well be interested (and there are a number of other tango peeps going to SP as well .. )
