Frankie Manning, ambassador of Lindy Hop, passed away this morning. Next month was the big 95th birthday celebration in New York that I've been planning on going to. I thought to myself, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! I need to do this now!" One of my friends had said, "Wouldn't it suck if he died before the festival?" I had tried not to think about it and what I would do if it happened.
Guess I have to now. I think I'm still going to go. It's still a once-in-a-lifetime event. Just not quite as joyous of one.
But I just have to laugh: I thought things were going to get better. -___-;;;

You so totally have to go! Just think of all the tributes they're going to do to him. You'll learn just as much and it will be that much more heartfelt. See? Still good.
My sentiments exactly. Please come, I'll be so bummed if you don't. Seriously. : )
