BIX: Evening #3

Last night was pretty cool, though to be totally honest, the venue was so hot, I only stayed until 11. The band was totally awesome though; check them out at http://www.myspace.com/babysodaband

There were a few funny moments, mostly an older guy who was creepily hitting on me and another older guy who yanked the shit out of my shoulders. Oh well.

Not sure if I'll go to the dance tonight, but if I do, I'll certainly post an update!

Happy Memorial Day!

BIX: Evening #2

There was an afternoon dance in Boston Common yesterday, and I have to say that most of the exciting things from yesterday happened then...

* finding parking in downtown Boston when we had no quarters. Always fun.

* listening to music provided by about 12 people all playing ukuleles

* Lindy-Bombing the gazebo

* the parade of zombies that just happened to invade downtown Boston. A bit scary, to be honest

In the actual evening...

* THE BOILERMAKERS!!!!! They are so fantastic, and I think that last night was the best I've heard them play yet.

* various people dressed up for the theme of "Masquerade"

* a hip hop performance to Justin Timberlake's "Carry Out." HOTT.

Two more nights of BIX dancing to go!!

EDIT: * I won a t-shirt in the raffle!! yay!!

BIX: Evening #1

Some highlights from the first night of BIX: The Boston Independence Exchange -

* a girl dressed in a floor length white gown complete with corset, face make-up, and elaborate hair accessory

* a rocking band called the Fried Bananas

* when the guy with whom I was dancing told me I was buff and asked if I worked out or lifted weights or something.

* when a guy spun me out into the arms of another guy who happened to just be walking by, who then proceeded to dance with me before spinning me back to the guy I was dancing with in the first place.

I love swing.

Unbelievable

Something amazing, crazy, and seemingly impossible is happening:

Today is the last day of classes.

I can't believe it. It feels like I've been here forever, or like I just moved in.

I am so excited about next year.
