Tuesday Tune Return

So I know I haven't post in a long minute. I've thought of things to post, but then I'd forget or I'd get lazy or I wouldn't be motivated. Bad Vane! It's been almost a month and I had been wanting to share something since the Halloween holiday. I figure a Tuesday Tune would be a good chance to showcase that. So lemme back track a lil'... Back in October, people at hundreds of locations across the world were attempting to break a world record for the largest simultaneous performance of the Michael Jackson music video "Thriller". And my home town of Salinas was participating. Women, men, boys and girls, young and aged, all dressed up as zombies and rehearsed the dance routine in our 'Old Town' area. No auditions necessary. Whoever wanted to join, were more than welcomed. Some people went all out with their costumes. I only learned of the event from a friend. She said I should go out there and try to be on TV since I like to dance. But I didn't. Lol BUT, I did want to check it out. I went and I took a few video clips and pictures. Here they are...



The dance rehearsal to THRILLER. (I apologize for the shakiness. Couldn't always get a clear shot and there were many people and many people who were taller than me. lol I had to just point my camera above the crowd and hope I was getting a clear shot.)





Some photos...

Big crowd.



Like I said, there were all sorts of zombies.
Twin goth zombies...



Coming up from the ground zombies.


Triplet young Michael Jackson zombies.
I think these boys were best dressed.


Bride zombies.


Buff zombies? lol


Happy to be shot in the face zombies. Ouch!


And young cute adorable zombies.


The little boy above with the gray sweats and black shirt, his name is Justin. He is 4 years old. I think those are his older brothers in the background. Justin turned out to be quite the talented little zombie and soon became the center of attention when he started displaying his awesome MJ moves. Even though he is very young and I'm sure he doesn't completely understand what he's becoming a part of, he can still understand he enjoys dancing and pleasing the crowd. And he sure did!

Watch...



Here, that same taller fellow has a fun battle with a young girl.




All in all it was fun to watch and to see everyone have such a good time.
