What You Want Me to Do? I'm Sorry! I'm Back!

[Post title refers to: Jay Z, "Show Me What You Got"] Ah, where to begin after such a long absence. The song, first, of course. For those who are not Jay Z aficionados (not saying I am an expert, just a huge fan) I should start be providing some context for the song title. "Show Me What You Got" was Jay Z's first single from Kingdom Come, which was the comeback album after Jay's little break-y-poo. And what a come back it was! Wreckz-n-Effect's saxophone loop from Rump Shaker? Check. (Yes, I know it is actually from Darkest Light, but who doesn't want to reference Rump Shaker at any given opportunity? Notice how I didn't hyperlink to the Rump Shaker video, thanks.) Flava Flav voice sampled? Check. A video shot in Monaco with race divers? Double check. So, yes, I guess by referencing this...

Party Rock Is In the House Tonight. Finally.

[Post title refers to: LMFAO's "Party Rock"] Wowza. So it has been way, way, way too long since I blogged last. The worst part about this is that I realize that when starting a blog, the best way to keep your audience is by consistent posting. That said, I hope you people are still with me. Where to start. Maybe with random updates? First an ode to the blog post title: while I may not adore LMFAO’s musical stylings, I think the dudes are funny and catchy. And I secretly think I should be a backup dancer or something for them. If it just requires having big hair and being weirdly random, I am a shoe-in! Catch me at the next party doing the dance. Second update-I am switching jobs. From one firm to another firm. Still in the same city. Still doing the same kind of work. Needless to say,...

Bruin continued!

Jawani girls are about to go up. Their new suits are beautiful and the ladies look pumped for their performance. Amy is doing the intro/sher and her voice is absolutely amazing. Amazing energy, clean choreo and the crowd seemed to love them. Aeg is up next. Waiting on side stage looking for them and just realized they are entering from the audience! They are wearing grills the glow. Yes, I just said that. Formation changes are cray good. Dudes just grabbed the daangs with the saaps. Makes no sense now but the video will. They just did a laser thing a la beyonce at the billboard awards. Holy moly they just finished the dance by going into the audience and dancing in the aisles. They totally won this crowd over and are serious, serious condensers. Sent from my iPh...

Khalsa junction/apd collabo is up next. The energy in this place is insane! The guys are behind a prop with the kj logo and getting totally pumped up.

Every single Dancer is going full out and it's so Obvious they are loving every single second of this They just a two man tower in full Choreography. Wowza. They pulled in yaar anmulle and given the history of these teams, I might have a tear in my eye. Three level tower at the end to seal the deal. They just won everyones hearts if not first place. Standing o from the cro...

Bruin, again!

Smd is up now killin em. Energy is crazy good and the crowd seems to be responding well. Like I said yesterday, the mix is fun. It sounds a little quiet back here but that might be because I'm off to the side. They just did the dougie, in case you were wondering. And now they are doing dhamaal to beyonces "run the world." their formations look a little crammed on stage but they are adjusting well. Crowd is giving them a great respon...

Bruin live post!

Hi all! I'm posting from side stage at bruin so Please pardon the sloppy formatting! So far: bruin committee performed and hyped up the audience! Bk went first and killed it. Violin player for the win. They were fun to watch-great energy and the crowd loved them. Second up was the hpd/vdw collabo. Riculously good. I'm side stage so I can't see formations and details but from here, the performance was sick! I love watching these guys dance. Barbie is up now and brought out a dude dancer. They are the second team of the night to use the "choli ke pichhe" beat. Stay tuned for mo...
