Random Links: Camp Hollywood Edition
Video clips from Camp Hollywood have been pretty slow in getting out, but there are a couple good ones out there. Here's an awesome routine by Sarah Breck & Andrew Hsi from the Showcase division.
And footage from the 2nd Annual Underground Jitterbug Championship.
What's that? I said the same thing. Fortunately I found a first hand account of it.
I found this pretty interesting:
The crowd’s appreciation of what they were witnessing was reflected in the amount of money that was being put into the hat. In the beginning, it was only money that the contestants put in, but throughout the competition, the crowd was throwing money into the hat.
You can find a few more clips and results over at Lindy Groove Technique Class Notes.
Doug Van Sant has his own recap plus some amazing shots of the city itself in his latest update over at Urban Marinade.
Newsflash: Minnie's Moochers Still Matter
Not really a newsflash, but just amusing to see how Camp Hollywood finally gets on the bus, 10 years later. I hear that Ben ans Sherri's teams did very well this past weekend and look forward to seeing more Camp Hollywood clips online.
