    60: Two Things Can Be True At The Same Time (w/ SHANI BROWN & BRITTNEY CARAWAY)

    (With longtime SoCal dancer BRITTNEY CARAWAY and International Bal and Lindy dancer SHANI BROWN.)Marge Takier -- Southern California Balboa and Lindy Hop old timer, incredible DJ, and co-founder of Bobby McGee's dance parties in the 70s-2000s, was part of a group of elderly original dancers that welcomed hundreds of new, younger dancers into the world of swing dance. A few, though, didn't feel that welcome by them. We discuss the reality that some of the greatest, nicest original dancers might not have always been perfect. And that's okay. We just wanted to talk about it. This episode is also available on video (Though Shani is present in audio only) here and over on YT. PATRONS Thanks so much to our Patreon Patrons!

"Lady Be Good" - The Medieval Jazz Quartet"Dragon Castle" - Makai ADDITIONAL THANKS Thanks to Viktor Lillard for sound edit, and to Ella Fine for additional sound editing. Bobby did further sound editing and added special effects, so blame him if those are really annoying. (He tried hard to make sure they weren't.) Additionally, we ran a test of this game with a group of dancers, and wanted to give a huge thanks to Gaby Cook, Tai Chulikavit, Hussain Jaffery, Jonathan Ng, Sean Vitale, and Sylvie Wainright. First off, it was the most fun I've ever had testing out a thing, and second of all, they helped out so much with feedback and just the imagination of their gameplay inspired us in so many ways. They were also such a positive, ready-to-do-whatever group. So thank you ALL! ABOUT THE GAME This DnD adventure was created, written, and designed by Bobby and Ella. Ella managed all the systems, including altering rules and simplifying gameplay to allow quicker gameplay and easier onboarding of unfamiliar players. The dance contest system was created by them but only worked because of Ella's input. This idea came about after Ella introduced Bobby to Dimension 20, a fantastic DnD experience done by improvisational comedians on the channel DROPOUT. Bobby heard only two episodes before going to Ella with the idea of doing a one-shot for Lindy Hoppers. PATRONS Thanks so much to our Patreon Patrons!
