Ambassador of Lindy Hop Comes to Oakland

Legendary lindy hopper Frankie Manning -- the only surviving member of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers, star of Hellzapoppin', and inventor of the aerial -- is returning to Oakland for the Frankie Manning 2008 Workshop Weekend. If 93-year-old Frankie is up for three days of lectures, workshops, and dance parties, then you should be, too. So get out your calendars and reserve February 15-17. More details coming soon from the Northern California Lindy Society.

Brush up on your swing history with his best-selling autobiography, Frankie Manning: Ambassador of Lindy Hop. You can buy an autographed copy, or just get a plain one (I'll autograph it for you).

Great blog. It'd be nice to put the time & location of FNS up top or somewhere easy to see for new people who happen across this site.
