Today is L-H day

I have booked five lindy hop lessons with one of the studios Frankie Manning once taught at. Today at 4pm I have my first lesson.

I am afraid. Very afraid.

If you don’t hear from me by tomorrow, you’ll know what happened. Remember me fondly!

And now I am off to hear many eleven year olds screaming super loudly. The first pre-season New York Liberty game. It will be chaos. I love chaos!

    I hope it went well, Justine. Just in case yo don’t follow Bill Gibson’s blog, you might like to know that the zeitgeist master himself has also posted amazing Lindy Hop video.

    Lol, Lindy hop is fun! Come to Camp Hollywood in July/August!

    And I get just a little bit sad every time I hear Frankie Manning mentioned. May he rest in peace.
