I'm going to be offline for the next week for my vacation. So if you post a comment somewhere, and it doesn't show up, rest assured that I'll get to it when I return. I'm sure you won't miss me especially with so many other online disctractions to keep you occupied. You can still come back and be entertained since I finally figure out how to time delay posts. So you should see some new content pop up this week while I'm away.
Retro Video Review: Hop The Millennium
In a previous post I said that I’d put up a few clips from a tape of Hop the Millennium but then decided that the whole thing was too good and uploaded the whole thing. The event took place over New Year’s 1999/2000 in Mexico City Ensenada, Mexico of all places. There’s a lot of dancing goodness featuring the Rhythm Hot Shots which is the team that begat The Harlem Hot Shots. Southern California represents with a piece by Rusty Frank & Peter Flahiff and another by Peter Loggins & Lisa Ferguson. Keep an eye out for a pimpin performance by the father and son team of “Moke & Poke” a.k.a. Chazz Young and Frankie Manning.

Weekly Video Highlights: Lindy Hop Argentina International Festival 2010
Sorry about the lack of updates this week. I'm remarkably unproductive when I'm sick, as I was last week, and I've been playing catch up at work after being away for almost two weeks between Lindy Focus and my cold. But I won't leave you hanging this week thanks to the fine Lindy Hoppers in Argentina of all places. Not just the land of tango anymore apparently, they held their forth Lindy Hop Argentina International Festival last weekend.
Weekly Video Highlights: The Snowball
In covering all this Lindy Focus stuff, I almost forgot about the other big New Year’s Lindy Hop event, The Snowball over in Stokholm, Sweden.
