Congratulations to everyone who made the trek out to Columbus, OH for this year's collegiate nationals. Thanks to everyone for supporting each other and I hope you had a good time during the comp and at the pro comps at night. A special congrats goes out to Inna and Evgeny who retired from competing at Ohio.

DCDI 2008

I hope everyone who went to DCDI had a fun time regardless of where you placed and how much sleep you got. Many thanks go out to Ballroom at Maryland (BAM) who hosted DC Dance Inferno 2008 and housed most of us, as well as had great organization for the gigantico sized heats (~120ish for bronze, 6 heats for first round). Special congratulations go out to Linda and Nga for winning this year's same sex sort of rumba.

Smallish batch of photos here.

Youtube video search for DCDI 2008 here. I highly approve of their use of an acronym to ID their comp as it makes searches quite specific.
