On my quest of finding the perfect swivel video, I stumbled over Skye and Frida.
I’m in loooove, so much loooooooove!
This is ADORABLE. I love Frida and how light on her feet she is! And Skye, I love him too. And they both look like they’re having so much fun.
And Veronica, I think you will love 1:38. :)
Such a lovely Lindy Hop/swing dancing routine! I like how they use my favorite move at least three times. Check out 1:38.
My bold social challenge for this week is this: ACT LIKE MY F’IN AGE!
I was asked if I wanted to go to a Big Bad Voodoo Daddy concert in San Francisco. BBVD is a swing-revival band and they will be celebrating the opening of a Rosie the Riveter exhibit. The idea of attending a swing concert over-looking the bay intrigued me. However, I came up with several excuses as to why I shouldn’t go: it’s too spontaneous for me, I don’t want to leave work early, I’ll be up too late, it seems a little inconvenient, the band has ruined some of my favorite songs…
My boyfriend managed to convince me to go. I soon realized that it would be silly if I didn’t attend. I’m young, I have very few responsibilities; why don’t I act like my age for once?!
Here’s to a night of beingbold and partyin’ like it’s the WWII era! My kind of idea of letting loose.
Swing On Discovery Channel -ft. Nick Williams And Carla Heiney
I danced with that guy four times at San Luis Obispo Lindy Hop Exchange (weekend-long swing dancing event) and I didn’t know who he was. I’m almost certain it was Nick Williams.
Me - “Thank you so much for the dance. What was your name again?”
Nick - “Nick.”
(I walk away, vaguely remembering what he said and wondering why he looks so familiar) GAH.
He’s even choreographed on “So You Think You Can Dance.”
I definitely did not dance as well as his dancing partner in the video.
This city is full of fakes, backstabbers, heartless, freeloaders, I wanna start over…
Start off fresh and live somewhere else.
And when you do leave, you’ll realize that every single city is filled with the same people. It’s up to you to associate yourself with people you like.
SPINNER’S RECORDS IN THE TOWER DISTRICT, FRESNO, CA by cozy22 on Flickr.
Spinner’s Records in the Tower District. The owner is very helpful in finding a record you are interested in and is willing to negotiate on a price. The record store isn’t open that often, but you can call for an appointment….if I remember correctly.
I’m quite proud of myself. I went to a high-speed rail informational meeting and only experienced TWO incidences of awkwardness. I think that’s a personal record.
One, I left my clear glasses in the car. I didn’t notice this until I walked a couple of blocks from my car. I decided to stroll into the meeting with sunglasses on. I felt as if I looked an ass and explained myself a couple of times. Lesson learned: if that happens again, pretend as if it’s the most normal thing.
Second, I ran into a gal I’ve seen at several public meetings around Fresno, specifically regarding the 2035 General Plan. I met her husband and shook his hand. I made the mistake of aggressively squeezing his hand. What am I trying to prove? I’m sure when people look at me, they think I have a delicate, passive handshake. It’s quite the opposite.
Oh! I ran into a high school friend. He goes to school out of town and I haven’t seen him in a couple of years. It’s wonderful how easily you run into people in Fresno. Well, it could be awkward if you’re not the best at small talk. I think I did well…
I just met the former president/CEO of Fresno Economic Development Corporation.
As as an econ nerd, I think this is stellar! I’m probably one of the very few on tumblr who think he’s famous. >.<
It’s funny how you can have a love/hate relationship with the place you’ve grown up. I’m not one of those who constantly complains about how much I hate it here. I’m not like that. I don’t. Sure, sometimes it feels like there are nothing but cows here. There actually are some wonderful little…
Regarding Tulare. But, hey, you can say the exact same thing about Fresno County.
I’m looking forward to swing dancing to-night at Silver Dollar Hofbrau, to-morrow night at Studio 65 and Friday night at Old Town Clovis farmers market. It’ll be a pleasant distraction for this odd, yet exciting week.
