(And that's just me thinking)

I doubt that outing will stop being at museums any time soon, as Chris and i go on a regular basis and we like to invite others along with us. I think we have just evolved into what I had first envisioned - a variety of people who plan a variety of outings that can be picked and chosen from by whomever is interested. There doesn't have to be only 4 swankings a year. Every day can be a swanking as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, the calendar is open to anyone who wants to post an event to it. I like live music a lot so I'll post about shows I want to see - if someone joins me, viola, instant swanking. To be sure if we get a large group and dinning is expected along the way, that'll take some more planning (reservations and all), but it's not like there's some committee of swank vetting a call for submissions. We're a cool group of people who do a lot of cool things - the swank is about sharing your passions.

I like letting all of you dig up the swanky events so I can pick and choose or just wish the planets would align so I could attend.

In the spirit of sharing passions I'm going to throw out a dancing evening (surprise). The Jive Aces England from are playing PBDA on Feb. 9. There's a free dance lesson before the band plays, the band is fabulous, and Old Town Pasadena isn't too far away if you don't share my theme song, "I Could Have Danced All Night." I'll add it to the calendar when I have more details.

Wow, although I don't know the lyrics, that song is definitely one of my theme songs!!! {my mother used to sing it all of the time and we'd dance around...as a kid, the lyrics weren't as important/fun as the dancing, ya know?} Right up that with 'Shall We Dance'?

I think I'm going to go and put that on!!!
