Angie Turns 10 + 10 + 10

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Lindy hopper extraordinaire Angie Gango is turning 9 x 3 + 3!*

Friday Night Swing's own bubbly blonde, whose performance in last year's "Jingle & Rock" brought audiences to their knees, has been a lindy hop devotee for about two years. She made headlines earlier this month when she publicly denounced "boring old walking" and now perambulates exclusively by doing the Charleston, leading herself in a swingout, or spinning in an eight-count beat. She is pictured here doing the Charleston on her way to a pick up some drycleaning.

"It takes a little longer, but it's plenty more fun," Angie said.

Join us this Friday as we celebrate this Momentous Occasion with a birthday jam to Martin Sexton's "30-step Boogie." With your help, this will be a birthday jam to remember!

*Please note that this is distinct from turning 9 x (3 + 3). That won't happen until 2032.

I assume you mean she is turning 30, but the "!" in math stands for "factorial". For example: 3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

So the math 9 x 3 + 3! = 9 x 3 + 6 = 33.

Very insightful!

The ! in this case stands for "exclamation point."

Lindy hop reigns supreme at Friday Night Swing, but folks also east coast and balboa, too.
