Yes, she's a real sweety, isn't she?
Don't know that I'll see her again
, but I certainly enjoyed dancing with her this past Saturday night!
She does have my contact information though so, hopefully, I'll hear from her...

Well, she's in town (here in San Diego) for a work project so happened to be out at my main local spot last Saturday night. A local salsero introduced us and, aside from sharing a lot of dances, we got around to talking. When she said she was from Denver I asked if she knew youngsta (who, by name, she said she didn't). She then asked if I knew any of the salsa scene there which I said I didn't, but explained, in brief, about the Forums, etc., and she asked if I knew anyone else from Denver. Which is when I mentioned that we did have a member who used to live there but had moved to Seattle... at which she gave a big smile and went "oh, you mean..."tj said:
She knew that you'd since moved to New Jersey and had only the best things to say about you... and especially about how encouraging and helpful you were when she was getting started.
And that, my friend, is how your name cam up in conversation!

Lol! And thank you for putting it so nicely.
Miss C. did mention how magnificent your lead is, btw...
What's funny is how most us all know each other "virtually" only. I have to admit I wonder what it'd be like to know each other in real life. It would certainly help put a better understanding and perspective of a lot of the various posts, I think.
For example, on the Forums, I must admit that I tend to dwell more on the negative aspects of salsa and how to fix them, rather than in real life, where you'd think that I don't even notice them. When I'm out dancing, I choose to look for the positives and keep only the good influences around, and it's only when I analyze it, that I notice the petty stuff.
Anyway, it's nice to have a mutual friend/acquaintance, and like you said, "It's a small salsa world."
Yup, I too think it would be interesting, as well as informative, to have real life—not just virtual—familiarity with each other as well. If nothing else, I find that it makes the on-line interactions more meaningful, as I discovered after I first met Vince A. (from the Dance Forums) and his wife.
As far as Amy, yes, it is nice to have a mutual friend/acquaintance. Also...
... especially given that I've built my entire style around exactly that—a smooth & clear lead. Please do let her know how much I enjoyed meeting and sharing those dances with her as well, and that I hope she gets (and stays :lol
in touch!

I agree, TJ. Hopefully one day all of us DFers/SFers will get to meet.
Which ever one will subsidize our little get together of course! :lol:
[P.S. tj, do you know if Amy does any WCS? If so have her get in touch with me before Wednesday. Thanks!]

Guess I'll just have to waite and see then, huh? Thanks!tj said:
...and this is exactly the type of thing I meant with this threads' title too! Here I am, in San Diego, communicating with tj in New Jersey, about trying to get ahold of Amy, who while currently here in San Diego is from Denver, which is where tj knows her from (previous to his living in Seattle of course)!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yeah, just saw that over on the DF. And, for whatever it may be worth, I may now be up in Seattle for a couple of days next month! :lol:tj said:

bump.
This thread has languished long enough, anyone have a small world story, salsa or otherwise ?
I think I just scored for bumping the-longest-dormant-period thread.
