hey, just remember that lincoln center swing was where andrew was "discovered" by GQ.
hahahaha... did they ever call him back after that? i'm surprised all the glamour mags didn't start a bidding war for his services
haha, i know. but sadly, after the article was published and his pic was the page after the half naked woman in white and our PO heard of it and then the whole thing w/ the bethelites, he decided to retire from his new career. he could've been big and I could've had his millions!
he was suppose to sign my copy. but never did. anyway that was funny.. i was reading mine.. then. i see his picutre.. just took a quick glimpse.. then flipped back 2 pages..
yeah, quick glimpse...good one. so then why do you have the picture under your pillow and kiss it every night before bed, hmmm?
hmm i dont know what you're talking about. leave me alone you freak. before i marry your mom. become your dad. and beat you
you'll have to fight micah, he has dibs on my mom
ha ! fight? please. i'm not a fighter. i'm a lover. i'll let her open her eyes , realize the true prize, and pick the guy.
that's a hot band-aid Andrew has on his finger, huh?? And those nice white socks with his black shoes :)
hey GQ dressed him, so it must be cool! stop hating cuz you didn't marry someone in GQ hahaha
that one kid is so flexing
haha-you're right. i don't like that kid-he totally thinks he's the stuff and he's not. good swing dancer though.
is that jake the quake?? what ever happened to him...that guy was slick...he would dance with girls at irving and then give them his business card...that guy was my hero
irving plaza doesn't smell!!! it does, however, charge approx. $46 for a drink.
no matter witch way you slice it, swingin flat out sucks without a partner
true or false?
how can you even dance swing without a partner?
what's his name on swing kids rocked out at the end w/o a partner. just go all out like you don't even care.
yea but he just looked like a weirdo tho
WHAT!? Peter did NOT look like a weirdo. That's one of my favorite parts because he looks sooo amazing and it's so emotional
i know-i love peter-he can dance however he wants and i'll still love him. just so happens he's an awesome dancer and he could pull it off.
hello .. is this thing on.. ok... ANYONE wanna be my swing partna'?
man i really wanted to do the tango at lincon center. gene was supposed to teach me but he had forgotten. nobody else wants to learn it.
first night of midsummer night swing-- was last night... it was pretty kool.. i was learning this new move... but hit my head on concrete, and got a really bad bruise on my arm... i got so beat up last night.
i just wanted to add that on SUNDAYS on PIER 25 in Chelsea Piers is free dancing...and with a live band.
where is chelsea piers?
it's in the city. along the west side highway.
thanks. i'm so excited for this summer's dancing. we're gonna start cutting loose.
it's the place my dad is always begging me to get everyone to go to
i used to wokr a couple blocks from there. The chelsea brewery is great....
Are you trying to encourage underage drinking?
when i was in new york we passed by that place. also i was seeing all the signs for places like hackettstown and stanhope. wierd to see em in real life.
That is really weird cause they don't exist. It's all been one big lie. You know how much trouble we all had to go through to make those signs and get them on the highway?
