*****Hundreds of thousands of people come to
this event. It will be AMAZING, but parking is
hellacious. You will most likely want to park
over a mile away and walk. I recommend parking
at the Beverly Center and walking, or you could
try to meet up with me at my house. Near this
intersection. Romaine & Ogden. You will want to
arrive and park NO LATER than 8pm to find us.
Do not rely on cell phones. You'll need to meet us
on time to join us for the dance! Don't call me.
Text me if you have to! I hope to see you there!
Will Clean up this site later, busy editing video!

WHY?
>We are doing this for fun. We want to do something that doesn't cost money, that promotes community, and that is just fun. Several of us did it last year in San Diego, and had an awesome time. We want to bring that joy to Los Angeles. We also want to make a cool video to put on the internet that will make us all look really cool, and then you can tell people "hey check out what I did!" Lastly, we want to hold the record for the most people to do the Thriller dance world-wide, and we want to be the city with the most people doing it (we've gotta beat Austin, NYC & SF). We do this and we'll be Awesome! And we'll have fun. Come join us!

Hey guys, TTW OC offers up a lesson/rehearsal this Friday, September 19 at Atomic Ballroom in Irvine. Just in case there are folks in the southern tip of LA County who might want to head that way.
80% sure I'll be there! (Have to check with hubby in the morning. )
