WHY LINDY FOCUS IS SPECIAL!
Overwhelmingly, the feedback we've been getting from our registrants is that they are most excited about the fact that we've got 6 separate levels of instruction, with a clear audition process to make sure everyone is properly placed. We know all too well how rare it is to actually have that fulfilling experience of being truly surrounded by your peers, working as a group. THANK YOU ALL for your awesome support! As the event draws near, we feel confident that this will truly be a landmark year for all of us.
PRE-REGISTRATION DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Although today (12/12) is officially our last day of registration, we've opted to allow PAYPAL-ONLY registrations to continue for another week, and check-based registrations to continue through this Monday (postmarked by Dec. 17th). So you've got one last window of opportunity before we close registration, and officially apply at-the-door prices!
MOST-DEDICATED (VISITING) SCENE AWARD UPDATE
Well guys, here's where things currently stand, and I have to say it's a pretty hot race. Note: this award will be given based on *pre-registration* only, and will not include at-the-door registrants. ALSO: you'll notice this is the same top 3 as last time, but that's only because all of the scenes in the running produced more people almost equally!
1) Atlanta, GA (ahead by 2!)
2) Triangle Area, NC (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) (ahead by 4!)
3) Two-way tie: Knoxville, TN & Nashville, TN (ahead by 2!)
Close on their heels: Orlando, FL, and Ann Arbor, MI. (both ahead by 3 over the nearest contenders!)

SILENT FILMS FROM THE CHARLESTON ERA
So, are you a Charlie Chaplin fan, or do you lean more towards Buster Keaton? Not sure? Well, if you show up to Lindy Focus on Thursday night prior to the main dance, you can join us in Mulligan's Bar at the Crowne Plaza for a group viewing of some silent comedy classics.
