Charity Disco Mix by Let's Go Swimming

time change

as UMD goes on break between semesters, let's go swimming has changed times, and will be on from 10 PM to midnight on monday nights. sadly, i now only have 2 hours with you folks. plus i don't anticipate there'll be too many shows at the new timeslot for the forseeable future due to the combination of snow, christmas, ski vacations, and any other issues that may arise. i'm hoping to make it in tonight, but i doubt i'll be able to drive there.

SO! perhaps we'll just call it a holiday semi-hiatus for LGS and i'll do my best to be back in action later in January, which will hopefully include the obligatory BEST OF 2009 show. hope to be back on the air soon.
