The fireworks start in Coal Harbor at 10:00pm. I’m thinking I should be there a few hours before they start so that I can find a good spot and perform before it gets too dark. I’ll head over there around 7:00pm. Since it is supposed to be such a beautiful day, I might start the grooving at the Art Gallery around 5:00pm and then move to Coal Harbor.

Also, tomorrow is my first birthday party performance. I’m excited to dance to Hannah Montana and work on my chicken dance. It should be a fun time!

Check my fan page status or my twitter to see where I’m at tomorrow!

Happy Canada Day,

Saturday I decided to go to Kits Beach. I drove there, because it is too far to walk and paid $2.00/hr for parking. After walking around looking for the best spot to perform I set my boombox down and started dancing. People were stopping and watching for a bit, but it just wasn’t the same. Maybe I just picked the wrong spot, but it was nothing like I expected. I danced for a few songs with a couple of kids and then packed up without even bothering with my hat.

Today, was a different story! I was going to the Jazz Festival to see what I could do, but first I wanted to visit English Bay. As soon as I started walking through, there was cheering and smiles. It was amazing! I looked over at the crowd and pointed “here” and clapping broke out. Before I even finished setting up, a life guard was already on my case. I talked with the crowd and they told me, if they give me a ticket they will all dance battle the ranger. I started the show.

English Bay is where I belong. The people were awesome, big smiles everywhere, and everyone having a good time. About 5 songs into the show one of my buddies that is down there all the time told me they were writing me a ticket. I looked off into the distance and there was Mr. Ranger, with a pen in his hand and a ticket pad. I scrambled to pack up, because I can’t afford a ticket, and a few others ran over to give me some change.

I LOVE performing at English Bay and that is where the people want to see me. Please join the group, “SET SPANDY FREE Petition – Let him come back to English Bay” if you haven’t already. I really hope I can perform there again soon.

PS> the “scoody” should be out by Wednesday. Waiting on batteries.

Michael Jackson’s dance moves have a big influence on me. When I was a child I remember seeing his moonwalk on TV. It inspired me to try and learn it and learn other gliding techniques. His music and moves will never be forgotten.

So, tomorrow be prepared to see a lot of moonwalking cause it’s going to be a thriller!!
