Disclaimer:
This is not an unbiased listing of events, these are events I am thinking about going to, Comments in colour are just me thinking out loud & I don't mean to offend.
 
 
Factors:
Time off from work, money, if I am DJing, who is going, who's teaching (if I'm taking classes), where I am living, how burn out on travel I am, cheap flight deals, hitching a ride, weather, how far a drive it is and so on... If you want to join me, would like to help me out with a place to stay, flight information, let me know you'll be there too, or anything like that, email me. Heck, let me know if you find any good flight deals anywhere there is a swing scene.
