Feather my nest with Count Basie

I should have posted this weeks ago, since the Birmingham Lindy scene will be soon be switching gears for the summer. BUT! If you are interested in lindy. Come on out the the Bashinsky Fieldhouse at Samford University for some truly swinging fun. Allen and I had been doing the whole "who wants to bother going out" thing for awhile until we found out about a lindy instruction series being held not five minutes from our door. So....

If you give a lindy-hopper lessons, they will learn new moves.

If you give a lindy-hopper moves, they will want to practice.

If a lindy-hopper wants to practice, they will defy all normal urges to sleep, wash dishes, or just not bang their feet against floor.

Therefore, you will find us, tonight, at the Bashinsky fieldhouse, probably sometime after or around 8:30, completely wearing ourselves out with cool moves. If you come, we will teach you. Or someone will. Try to bring guys if humanly possible since there's often a dearth of the creatures. The guy/girl ratio is completely in the guy's favor. Stress that point with rum laced drinks if necessary.

If you don't know what lindy is, here's a fairly accessible example.

I can totally see you and Allan doing this in your apartment! That makes me smile. You guys are bad ass.

They're rather better than we are, but we sure have a lot of fun trying. You should come sometime.
