Happy Holidays,

It's time to place your order for ALHC's 2007 DVD set. This year's set
is $149. It has lots of unforgettable footage plus the class
videonotebook.

And in case you missed it at ALHC, The Memorable Routines Disk from
the 1st through the 9th years of ALHC is only $49 for the 2-disk set.
Check out the contents at http://artspectrum.org/enews.htm.

I know you like soutvenirs. We all do. But please cash you ALHC prize
check now. The longest hold time for an ALHC check has been 5 years.
I'd just as soon have it clear the account now. It's no good that far
away from the issue date.

There were grumblings at ALHC because competitors were asked not to
wear jeans in competitions. I've been shopping the event to HBO, A&E
and BET. They are not interested in broadcasting an amateur event.
Jeans = amateur as far as they are concerned.

You may not have heard, but Lindy is going to be a competitive event
in the 2012 summer Olympics. It is also supposed to be part of the
2010 World Games. My personal opinion is that Lindy would be better
received - broadcast - if it were part of the winter games not the
summer. The IOC, I guess, decided when and where it would be included.
The winners from the American Showcase Division are eligible to
compete for the USA on the world level. If you are interested let me
knwo. I'll pass it on. I know the USA contingent is looking to put
together a team to compete in London 2012 and the warm-up event in
2010.
