Light Therapy
In my world, the only thing better than going out dancing for a case of the winter doldrums is to do it with a light show.
Throw in a hula hoop and a really good on tap beer and you have a full scale therapy.
I first heard The Fat Catz at the Gingerbread Ball but was too busy covering the event to dance, so when I heard they were playing at Dogtown I made a point to test drive them in one of my marathon dance jams.
Lindroot, the experimental electronic music of Stephen Schmidt, played first, creating a good vibe/space sound that inspired a small group of LED lighted hula hoop and poi light dancers and made for some good photo-op entertainment.
The Fat Catz (from Blacksburg) have a big sound and play some kind of rock/funk dance-friendly/electric jam. I seem to recall dancing and singing along to Fire on the Mountain that went into Pinball Wizard and saying to my friend Jayn that every song they did equaled two and that I didn’t know how long I would last.
I don’t go to the gym. Dancing is it for me. I think we made it through most of the first set without sitting down.
I made it home in time to kick off my shoes and watch some of Saturday Night Live before settling down for a long winter’s nap.
Thanks Dogtown Roadhouse, Fat Catz, Lindroot, dance friends and all!
