I love seniors!

7,199 words. Woot!


Another story about sports and music:

Last week, N and I went to the Timberwolves' season opener. It was fun to see the new players, and they looked better than last years' team already. They won at the buzzer too, which always makes for a good time. But the best part happened during one of the time outs.

They always have these little performances planned for the longer time outs. And one group that night was called The Timberwolves Senior Dancers. They were women in their fifties and sixties, wearing black pants and white Timberwolves sweatshirts. They danced in formation with multicolored feather boas to Danke Schoen for a few minutes. This was adorable of course. But then it got even better. The dropped the boas, took new poses and suddenly they were doing the dance to Beyonce's Single Ladies. And they were good! I was laughing out loud and cheering.

While I in no way agree with Kanye that Beyonce had the best video, EVAR, I do like to watch people imitate it. But really, if such an array of people can do such a good job doing your steps (including Justin Timberlake in drag) then how good could the original really be?
