Hip Hop Lion Dance

Yesterday was more involving than I was originally thinking.

So late morning, we had a lion dance at some high school. It was entertainment for some community "get involved, fight racism, come together" kind of thing.

I get the feeling the turnout wasn't anything near where what they were hoping for it. Sucks for them. In any case, we went in quickly, lion did its thang, people were amused enough . . . whatever.

Went for yum-cha after that. That's always fun. But moving on . . .

Evening was our club's annual dinner. Part of my luck is that since I'm old now, I don't have to do as much for these performances. Like, I actually get to sit and eat at these dinners now! Granted, I still had to do a few things, especially for the lion dances . . . but mostly, I got to just chill, eat, enjoy the show . . .

. . . and make great use of my fun little Canon FS100. For example, check out this ridiculous thing the kids put on:

I'll try to upload some of the other kids as time goes on . . . it just takes a long time since the video's set on 6mb/s so files get big fast.

But yeah . . . we were pretty much pissing ourselves with that lion dance. Really amusing.

And I'm definitely looking forward to the YouTube comments from people telling us how disrespectful we're being to the lions and stuff. That'll be good.
