The Jam Cellar || Swing Dance and Lindy Hop

Tonight, DJ Kate Hedin

I had a cookie at Cosi the other day and had an emergency need for a tissue, only to find that the only object around was a rolled up ball of cling wrap from the cookie. I grabbed it and sneezed. In case you were ever thinking of doing the same thing, take this week's email as a stern warning for you at home.

Tonight, Aerials continues!

Grab your partner and a helmet for tonight's Aerials! class. It'll be grand.

4. Now's your chance to see some of those so-called "historical monuments" you don't remember visiting in 6th grade.

Dance community really excited to spend five days in New York trying not to cry.

This weekend marks the event where dancers from around the world will come together in New York to celebrate the life of the incredible Frankie Manning, see many presentations and hear personal stories, and ultimately, try not to cry for five solid days.

"There's going to be some of the greatest swing bands in the world, some of the greatest dancers on the dance floor, and some of the most important contests out there, and probably giant banners of Frankie Manning looking at us, all happy and peaceful. I mean, I just realized yesterday that the whole thing was taking place over Memorial Day weekend all along," said one dancer from Illinois. "Damnit, there I go again." He said, wiping a sleeve over an eye.

Swing scene can't wait to get to college.

After four years of high school experiences, the swing scene officially can't wait for college. The Swing scene, who has gone through an awkward phase of spending way too much energy on what fashions are popular and exclusive cliques of shallow people, says its ready for the next step.

"I can't wait to get to a place where I can be myself, have a great time with all sorts of people, and basically relax and not be as intense for a few years." It said.
Unfortunately, the heavy drinking, promiscuous sexual relations, and lack of studying shows that the scene is already in college and a member of a frat.

Impoverished Lindy Instructor Untouched by Recession

Scott Michaels, a professional Lindy Instructor who makes over 12,000 a year, has recently realized he's untouched by the recession, much like many of the country's impoverished.

"I was at the grocery store and realized that my cereal is still $2 a bag. The same goes for pop tarts, Stoffers microwave meals, and beer, which are technically the only things I really spend money on." Michaels said. The amount of gigs he's got lined up for the year, however, are growing. Assuming he doesn't get sick, his lack of health insurance won't even be a problem.

"I'm just glad I never invested my money," Michael's said.
