SYTYCD in Oakland!
Oct 4th, 2008 by dino-ray
Earlier this week my friend Geraldine had an extra ticket to the So You Think You Can Dance concert in Oakland and I, like the devoted fan I am, went to support the band of reality show dancers.
It’s funny – right after she called to invite me, I got an email from the PR people handling the concert and they asked me if I wanted a review ticket and to attend a press hour with some of the dancers. The reason for this was because I’ve already been to the previous two concerts that came through the Bay Area AND I did interviews with past cast members (I am saying this with a pompous grin).
Unfortunately, I turned down the opportunity to speak with Twitch, Thayne, Katee, Joshua and all of the rest of the dancers because I had to work. With that, I had to turn down the ticket as well because I told them I already had a ticket and I thought it would be nice to attend the show as a “non press member” for a change.
Was that stupid of me? Actually, none of the dancers of this past season really intrigued me. They are talented, but I was over them. It was like old high school friends who you never kept in touch with inviting you out for dinner and drinks.
Despite the man sitting in front of me with a horrendous case of B.O. and a Debbie Downer face, the concert was fun. I tested my camera’s digital zoom feature and I surprisingly got some good pics! Do these stills look familiar? Well, they performed dances that they did on the show. If you can name all of them, I’ll give you a special prize…
Thanks for posting these pixs. Yes they’re the same routines but they all look like they are loving every minute of performing. All those huge grins are great. if you ever decide to print these i would like a few. thanks
