This weekend was the 3rd annual Danceathon... or was it the 4th? Eh... I'm too lazy to look it up. For those of you who DON'T know what a danceathon is, specfically in this case it is a 24 hour Swing Dancing Marathon for Cancer. People came from all over to Irvine, CA at a very massive Executive 24 hour fitness. And let me tell you, it was nice... very nice. Huge everything in that place. Shesha Marvin and his wife Nikki did an AMAZING job pulling this thing together. It was my first year and wasn't quite sure what to expect. As most of my friends know, I've been swing dancing a crapton and (crapton isn't underlined as a misspelled word, how odd)... I went to this thing thinking I could make it the whole time. Allow me to quote Zapp Brannigan from Futurama and say "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." I don't drink caffeen and I don't really drink alcohol much either, very very quite rare if I do. Mainly it's just water. Luckily for me there was a ton of water, and food everywhere. I came with 3 sets of clothing cause i knew I would be a sweaty mess after a few hours of dancing. I danced as much as I could and didn't sleep one wink. I last 17.5 hours. I took 67 videos which totalled to 44 min and 48 seconds. I have no idea how many pictures were taken, cause I don't have a camera in which to take pictures with, but I have about 13 pictures of myself swing dancing. I just realized that this whole blog is kinda all over the place with information. Whatever. I had a great time swing dancing, and heard some amazing bands as well. The only reason I couldn't keep going is because of my legs. I was still wide awake, and could have kept going, but my legs just didn't want to move anymore. If anything, it gave me the energy to be an even better swing dancer and to push harder to accomplish that.
On a side note, it appears I might be flying out to see my sister in NY. Which would be awesome, and if things go according to plan, I'll be getting some headshots while I'm out there.
