In the seven or so years I've worked at the P-T, I've seen some interesting groups come through the Long Beach Convention Center. Comic geeks. Mary Kay consultants. Inventors.

Right now I'm a bit intrigued about what's coming to town next week.

Apparently 5,000 square dancers will convene in Long Beach for a National Square Dancers event June 24-27. It's the
first time in 19 years the convention has been here. About 2,300 are from California, while there are attendees come from Japan, Sweden Taiwan, Germany, China, etc.

Several types of dance will be performed, including clogging, country western/line dancing and Rainbow Room (a high-energy style of dancing for the LGBT community).

Look in the P-T for pics from the event.
