Register for a pass if you plan to attend most events. Individual tickets may also be purchased if you can only get to one or two gigs.

REGISTRATION

It's still a sweet and low $85 if you register before 12 November, so book your spot while you can! More information on registration on the MLX9 website: http://mjda.org.au/MLX9/register/

VOLUNTEERS

Want a cheaper MLX pass? MLX is entirely volunteer-run. Help make YOUR Lindy Exchange the best one there is. There are still spots for:
- door and ticket sales
- sound and lighting set-up
- venue set-up
- post-event clean-up
- possibly more for promotions

More information on volunteering on the MLX9 website: http://mjda.org.au/MLX9/volunteer/

HOSTING

Melbourners, MLX really really needs people to offer a bed, a couch or even floorspace for our out-of-town dancers. If you have space at your place for a dancerlet them know when you register (http://mjda.org.au/MLX9/register/) and you'll be matched up with your new exchange buddy/ies!

The benefits:
- Your guests are morally bound to dance with you. At least once per evening.
- Dance karma runs deep, for one day you may need a place to stay too when you go on exchange!
- You get to show off your swing scene and your city to wide-eyed newcomers.

PROGRAM

As if the people aren't enough, there's also the music.
We've got Mike McQuaid and his Red Hot Rhythmmakers, Yvette Johansson and Friends, Liam O'Connell's Groove Box, and that's even before mentioning all the fabulous DJs from around the country who are sharpening their sets for you.

Check it all out on: http://mjda.org.au/MLX9/program/

Register, people. You won't regret it.
