Some photos from this weekend's dance championships (to which I didn't go) highlighting two of my teachers:
In position to start a Backhander of some kind
Posing for the judges before the final of the Advanced Freestyle
She's about to get bounced in a drop position - I know this move, they've practised it a lot to get it smooth and safe; at full extension, she'll be parallel to the ground, but they'll bounce off of the extension point and go straight into something else
And these guys are coming to Adelaide to teach a set of workshops in five and a half weeks and I'm so very very excited. Allan won both first and second in the routines, I'm told, although I couldn't tell you whether his routine with Holly (pic from DWAS, I believe, she's dancing with a teacher from somewhere else which datapoint I can't remember right now), or this routine did better. The official results aren't up yet, AFAIK.
Over the weekend I sorted my Amazon.com wishlist into several wishlists which will be easier for my family to print out and take into shops. It had reached 33 pages, and that's just the public one that my family have access to. Now there is a fiction, non-fiction, music, DVD & video, household stuff and toys (which includes various figurines, a couple of boardgames, brewing gear, an Eee, and kitchengear), and an unsorted list. I'm considering a separate category for comics, graphic novels, and artbooks. Which they are extremely unlikely to choose to purchase on my behalf, but of which there are enough that they can have a category.
Oh, and I helped teach Intermediate at dance class last night (in subsidiary role) - I've had feedback from several people saying I did well, especially having had neither preparation nor warning.

That looks vaguely like an Adrian.
<sigh> Must find someone that is the right height that knows Finnish Tango. Come to that, must find a new body that can do Finnish Tango with a partner of the right size who knows Finnish Tango; it's become extremely ouchy to move over the last six months.
Speaking of moving and shaking and furry shorts, will you and Bastard be attending the Black Ball?

I don't like that shirt on Adrian, though, I think it needs to be taken in a little, or tailored to give it more shape. I'm fairly sure it dates from when he had a podge. Either that or he means it to look like that. I dunno.

Failing to remember names makes being on door that much harder :P
