Jewely uploaded an older video of SpandyAndy!

I actually haven’t performed in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery for some time now. It never worked out as well as English Bay and there was always something going on. With all the rain in the forecast I’m really going to have to start working on some indoor venues. I’m still trying to plan a SpandyAndy dance party, so keep checking back!

Today I was at my first ever baseball game! I went to help raise awareness for Ovarian Cancer Canada.

Ovarian cancer is the most serious of all gynecological cancers. Over 2500 Canadian women are diagnosed every year; and every year 1700 women succumb to this disease. Symptoms are varied, vague and easily missed. Visit: http://www.ovariancanada.org/ for more information.

It was really fun handing out hand cream and meeting everyone involved. I was there little celebrate helper and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. By the end of the day I was doing the worm on a little stage in front of the crowd.

One little tidbit I want to share as well:
I was dancing around and everyone was having a good time. Near the end of the game I went up in the stands and a couple obnoxious guys started saying, “Yo!, my friend wants to dance with you.” So I said, “Okay!”. Then they all started telling me they don’t dance when it’s two dudes and started mocking me. As this happened 3 cute girls walked up and asked for a photo with me. After the photo one hugged me right in front of the guys. I looked up at the 5 drunk guys and said, “That’s what I get for dancing.” with a big smile. The guys didn’t have a response. Thank you ladies for your support!

People trying to watch the video may have noticed that it was removed by YouTube sometime within the last few days. I’ve searched google and found it on another website.
You can still view it on my media page.

SpandyAndy on So You Think You Can Dance Canada

I ran into an old friend from High School in Vancouver that runs his own comedy night at the BCMP office. It called “the green room” and you can checkout the facebook group here.

Anyway, he asked me if I could do a performance in his show tonight. It’s going to be a little bit different then my street performance, but I’m excited to try it out. Some of you know I tried doing a little bit of stand up comedy at the Yuk Yuk’s in Calgary before I moved to Vancouver.

Price: $5
Showtime: 8:30pm.
Location: BCMP office.
Address: 307 West Hastings

As some of you may have noticed,
the voting has ended and Colgate’s site now shows the top 20 entries.
I ended up in 3rd place for votes!

They are still featuring my video on the front page and video pages of there site, but I don’t find out if I am part of the top 5 finalists that gets to go to Toronto until September 17th, 2009.

Thanks again everyone who took the time to vote,
you got me in the top 20 and now it’s up to the judges to decided who goes on.

Hopefully they are as tight and bright as us!
