        I said it before, Chicago is MY KIND OF TOWN! Julie Hein and Maren Oslac have put together one of the friendliest events I have ever attended (after 24 years that's saying something) during my time on the road. A weekend with plenty of general dancing, workshops for Beginners as well and higher levels (Beginner's track of workshops is a brilliant idea) and the All-Star Hour for charity were pure genius. Add to that a DJ Challenge and costume contest for Halloween and you get one heck of a weekend.

        Big Hugs go out to Julie, Maren, BJ, Tobi and the rest of the Chi-Town crew. I will see you all in January for University of Mario (Holy Cow 15 years of traveling to Chicago). For more info go to marioinchicago.com.
