I got my @snowballevent collection finalized with cufflinks after a year of getting the tie clip and the pin from previous Snowball. And within a day I lost the tie clip logo. ๐Ÿ˜ญ And I even joked on the slow blues idiom class yesterday, that the clip will melt on close embrace connection. Probably it actually did. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Yeah, right.
    My Autumn 2025 Plan – Good posture and elastic an My Autumn 2025 Plan 
- Good posture and elastic and flexible back, hips and legs.
- Memorizing more Lindy Hop moves and series for improvisation.
- Fluent and varied Charleston.
- Improve with Collegiate Shag.
+ Keep the feeling on and trying to avoid injuries, extra interesting courses and camps

- Maybe better posture, but not perfect.
- Not really much new most learnt, but invent some new moves.
- Still not fluent with Charleston.
- Actually regressed with Collegiate Shag.
+ Successfully avoided injuries and camps, except I went once to Tallinn camp and got sick on the first night.

But I had the best season ever. Nice new dances and dancers. New friends. Started as a swing DJ and now doing it fluently with positive feedback.

Had a big birthday party with two live swing and blues bands, 118 guests, burlesque show and blues dance show.

Gathered a new swing band with 12 members so far and we have had three successful trainings.

Got elected to Comets board 2026 and I'm intended to be event responsible.

Rock'n'Swing Dance Club Comets is the biggest dance club in Finland.
