The next day in the afternoon we went up to the castle and made up a crazy summer plan. To make the long story short – we’ll hit the road once again very soon! On that hill in Ljubljana our hearts beat together in a Junkie way more than ever before. Laughing and jumping we rolled our stones down the blooming hill and went to the first class.
After crawling around Bežigrad district for a while we called our friendly cabdriver to pick us up and bring to the venue. Nina introduced the girl, who was working with children in Africa. I‘m sure her speech touched everyone in the room. And then Peter Loggins stepped on the stage. I could listen to Peters’ stories for hours and I‘ll be surely sitting in the front row at HARLEM.
We had a very good time listening to The Folkets Hus Fem band later that night. Mias’ soothing voice got every song straight to one's heart and there was nothing to do but dance off the feet. All of us had so many wonderful dances and so many new acquaintances that we just couldn't stop. Standing outside with a shaky cigarette in one’s hand and talking to people in all possible directions I heard someone say – “it’s the best place on earth tonight”. P.S. I could sing every song Zala dj-ed. Zala, do you come from Vilnius?
I don’t remember sleeping with so many people in one room for years! We had so much fun there. Once again, Matthea, sorry for those tons of jokes and screams we made there while you’ve been sleeping. When I woke up in my room today I missed Šlimas, Dangis and Vytas dirty jokes in every sentence that made us rofl every morning.
And then the classes started… Well, we didn’t have enough guts to keep concentrated there. Many thanks to the teachers that where doing their best to make better dancers out of chattering crowd of adults.Gašper and Dragana – you are lovely!
It was Sunday lunch when all big seven sat down round the table and voted to stay at LSSF till farewell party… I kept my mouth shut while being the reason to rush home.
Saturday gala night was just great. Milda sung a few songs with Slovenian band Six To Go which is a very sweet band to dance to. I’m not afraid to say Ella would be happy to see us dance like crazy to the music that was once written for her. These guys warmed up the atmosphere before Jack&Jill started. The main prize of the competition, a full pass for HARLEM 2010 or 2011, was given to Mihaela (SI) and Rudolf (A). I hope they’ll make it to LT and we’ll have many more fun dances with these amazing lindy hoppers.
We ended up the party jamming in the backstage and getting to know each other better through the green nines. This was the beginning of the other dimension party and I will tell about that later on.

Mind-blowing experiences on the road to LSSF (part I)
Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 1:30pm
We supposed to leave Vilnius early Tuesday morning, but some wise men said we must go Monday night. Some of us didn't even have time to hang their underpants on the string, while others were still teaching the class. The team of seven united their powers and the time was set. After kissing goodbye some loving friends and giving cozy hugs we directed our zest color French engine down south.
Through wintry fog Šlimas and Dangis tandem herd the vehicle all night long. All day we pushed through traffic jams and ran across pale fields until the car accidentally stopped. And then a long story of misunderstandings has begun. All in all were embattled by Bruce Willis kind of looking men and brought to the gipsy style motel. After putting all our efforts to understand their Czech language we were left with a bill bigger than everything we all together had. Then we sung a Lithuanian drinking song in front of that freaking autoservis and went back on road.
With a 98,7% enthusiasm we passed Wien at night pouring 20 liters in every petrol station, for saving purposes I assume. Zest Citroen flew like magic carpet carrying us to the Green Rabbit's hole. In the moment we were making up acclamation words the magic zest stopped and refused to go six more kilometers to Ljubljana. The panic of being late for the meeting was diminished then Šlimas got back with the lively liquid.
After dropping our multiple suitcases at Matthea, our kindest hostess, we whizzed to Green Rabbit's into the arms of long time no seen buddies and that's where the Sweet Swing started. Some showed us little balboa room with hundreds of books, some introduced us with the taste of absinthe or told stories.
The other day in Ljubljana we went busking in the center square and people stopped to listen and watch. After pealing of our big furry winter coats we were soaking rays of spring sun and admiring easy old town atmosphere. We sunk our blasting emotions with good coffee and Laško under the waning moon ladja and then went dancing...
