Colgate’s search for Canada’s Freshest Dancer has been underway for about a month and a half now and my video just jumped into 3rd place.

Out of the 20 highest voted videos the judges will pick 5 to compete in Toronto in a dance-off.

Thank you everyone who took the time to vote for me. This is a huge opportunity and would really help me spread my message.

**** THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA, NOT A REAL PARTY ****
*****I WILL UPDATE YOU WITH OFFICIAL DATES *****

There isn’t enough time to plan a big event this coming Thursday,
but the following Thursday, Sept. 10th I’m planning a big SpandyAndy Dance Party!

**** THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA, NOT A REAL PARTY ****
*****I WILL UPDATE YOU WITH OFFICIAL DATES *****

So tonight I decided to go out and practice dancing. I’ve been going clubbing a lot to work on my break and my popping. Tonight I went to a place called “Tonic”. When I looked it up it said, “Hip-Hop Classic, Dancehall, Electro, Funk, R & B, Clubhits”. That sounded like exactly what I like to dance too.

I arrived at 10:00pm and the place was empty. The DJ was just starting his set and me and my buddy were the only ones on the floor. It was kind of nice, got to practice a lot on the floor without spilled drinks or crammed space. He started dropping the sickest beats. haha it was so good. I went up and talked to him and asked him if it was always this dead. He said it sometimes gets busier, but not till around 12:30am – 1:00am.

.
An idea struck me, I could have a SpandyAndy dance party / performance here next week. Nobody comes to the bar, but the music is awesome. Maybe I can organize a party!

So I ask you, would you come to SpandyAndy’s 1st performance at Tonic on Grandville St. downtown next Thursday from 10:00pm – when ever? I talked to the manager and the DJ’s a bit, but I need to know what kind of numbers I could possibly bring.

Please comment, “YES”. If you can come. Don’t comment “YES” if you can’t come. I need only the for sures or the 90% sures. That way I can talk numbers. It’s ok if you can’t come, I just want to see what size of event I could have.

Stay tight and bright,
SpandyAndy

Hello everyone!
As many of you know I received tickets from the Vancouver City Police
while I was performing at English Bay.
(http://spandyandy.com/2009/07/20/the-fight-for-spandy/)

Well get this! A couple nights ago I was on Granville St. with some friends for a goodbye party and I ran into the cop from the SpandyAndy threatened by Police video. He asked me to come over and talk to him. I was a little bit nervous. He opened up his ticket book and asked if I remmeber the tickets. Then he tapped me on the side with them and said, “My wife saw you on TV and loves your moves, don’t worry about the tickets.” I was in shock! Before I could say anything he had to get back to duty with some rowdies outside the bar. For the next few hours I was having trouble believing it happened, but it did. Maybe the Vancouver City Police aren’t as bad as they are known to be. They are definitively back in my good books.

After such a good day at English Bay today. – (full story)
I decided to head to Granville Street to dance and enjoy Vancouver’s night life.

I still have yet to be tagged in a night time photo, but the photos and videos are all being taken. I went out a bit earlier tonight and it was maybe I little to crazy. After this guy gave me a tip a fight started to break out and the vibe was ruined. I decided to be content with my little bit of change and head home. When I got home I walked to 7-11 to grab some food. I bought a 2 liter milk, vegetable pita and chocolate protein bar. The total came to within 27 cents of what I had made tonight. How perfect is that? I found it kind of cool that I went out and dance and then fed myself. Cool way to live.

Good night,
SpandyAndy

Hey everyone!
