Melissa Rutz, a dedicated member of New York City's West Coast Swing community for the past several years, is returning to California. She was honored with a bon voyage jam at Chetty Red. Everyone wished her well on her new endeavors. I found some appropriately fading-away/long-exposure shots of Melissa dancing at 1050, so I added them in to form a virtually extended jam.
