Tap Dancing

Today I had a meeting with the Crochet girls at work and we were talking shop when I noticed this weird pair of tap shoes hidden under one of the girls desk. Of course I asked her if she was a tap dancer. "No," she said "I tried but couldn't get the hang of it". Then all of a sudden the other girl was like "I used to take lessons". She put those ugly things on and went to town on the plastic mat that her office chair normally rolls around on. It was hilarious. She even tried to booty dance with them on and I thought she gonna slip and bust. We laughed our asses off.
They looked a little like this. She even posted them on Craig's List but nobody wanted the lonely pair.

So of course it made me think of my friend, Jamie, from Tilly and the Wall. Here is a clip from their recent show at the Knitting Factory in New York. There were so many young teens in the audience singing along and taking pictures. Jamie did a kick ass tap solo in the middle of the set.

Seeing my friends play made me feel so nostalgic especially when they played Nights of the Living Dead. I had so much fun in high school with my friends, going to the docks, midnight garage sales, 40 ounces. It's great to see them enjoying their lives and doing what they love.
