Album:2005:11-18 Austin Lindy Exchange
|
|
After many years of truancy, I finally made it back to Austin for a Lindy
Exchange. It's not clear to me why I missed so many years, but it is
clear to me that it was a mistake. Damn, I love Austin.

My first hostess Mary,
until her dog's dander got the better of me.

Friday,
dancing with Hanna (Aus) [photo Gover]
|
Saturday we saw The Sinus Show
which is a very funny MST-like thing [photo Gover]
|
It was a large crowd
for that early. [photo Gover]

|
We briefly went to Lindy in the Park
at LBJ Library on campus, but then we realized we were starving and got some food.
|
And Tina,
organizer extraordinaire, was receiving a deserving massage.
|
The glorious Fed,
where I've done most of my Austin dancing
|
|
|
|

|
Kris Kimura Quintet
was playing for us.

Shaheed (LA) and Laura (Aus)

Looking like I'm snubbing Jeff,
we're actually just having a conversation [photo Gover]

Ms. Anna,
Improv Queen

Kat
(from Louisana?)
|

|
|
|
|
Johanna (Atl) demonstrates "pig nose"!
|
Wandering motorcycle dancer Glen and ..
|
little Cassiope ('Si')
(oddly pronounced Kah-sy-o-pee)
|
Speaking of Glen,
he took some great photos of me [photo Glen]

|
Use those feet!
|
Yeeha!
|
My second host
(and host from my last Austin visit) Sherry
|
And my first host Mary's dogs,
Harley and..

|
[Video] Lindy Hoppers do very silly things
if you gather them together in the daytime.
|
We ate dinner at som..staurant on a cliff.
|
Kenny made a habit
of wearing a strange costume to every event.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A toast!
(to something?)
|
Stray cats!
|
My host Sherry
has some stray kittens she takes care of, and I totally wanted to take home at least two of the three on the right (especially the little black one)
|
[Video] A great dance with Laura,
who rocks. Unfortunately it's quite dark, so you'll need to have a viewer with brightness control.

Dancing w/ Kelly (CO)
|
Stephanie turned out to be interesting,
even though she was from Denver. We'll forgive her that transgression.
|
Chris,
also from Colorado, at the late, late Sunday dance.
|
Si again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Karen is an angel.
She's also from Austin. And this is a terrible picture of her, but the only one I have from ALX. She's much more lovely than this.
|
And so is Melanie.
This is also a terrible picture... Melanie is my #1 diehard dancer in Austin, always willing to go find blues somewhere.
|
Hanna (Aus)
is one of Mel's friends that I hung out with during my last trip, and her Lindy has become even more awesome.
|
Charlotte (Aus)
is actually someone I met at HiLX'03 and neither of us recognized the other until the late late Sunday dance. Oops. That's funny considering she was my #1 singing partner on the Luau bus ride.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Charlotte also demonstrates
my new favorite pose, "Pig Nose"
|
Tiffany from Florida
is someone I also didn't meet until Sunday late late. It's like I wasn't even at the exchange or something..
|
Glen and Karen
|
Don (FL),
previously famous for being Haley Kruse's brother, is now famous in his own right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Austin would not be complete
without a trip to T.C.'s bar
|
Tina (FL->SF->Aus) and Tina (FL->Aus)
|
T.C.'s is a rundown bar,
but has great music.
|
At T.C.'s

|
First host Mary
|
and Seth Walker
was playing Monday Blues again.
|
Seth and his band.
|
Jamie (and her friend Rachel)
hosted a few of us for a super-duper late night where we played Truth or Dare, hot tubbed, and also reenacted Hamlet in 3 minutes. That's all I'm going to say about that.
