Kate's birthday potluck went swimmingly last night. It seemed like all had a blast.
So, you know how sometimes towards the end of a great party, when the rhythm of the party swings low (and the bulk of your guests head for the door), you're left with a couple of your closest (and punchiest) friends to get silly. Spawned by interest in our Party in Punjab CD, Kate and I kicked off this phase of the night by trying to teach folks how to "bhangra." Where "bhangra" is the high-energy dance from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Here's a nice example to introduce you:
This short tutorial was followed by Lara and Annick's revealing to us the recent French craze "Tecktonik." In the video below you can see why this followed from the bhangra moves. Kate, Michael, and I had never heard of this dance style, so of course we had to pull out the laptop and call up YouTube for a few examples. I don't know about Kate and Michael, but I was floored by it - probably because I know my body will never be able to do that. Not since throwing my back out from krumpin' in 2003. Check out this Tecktonik example:

I should also add that we were considering learning a Bhangra routine to perform at the wedding.
Related to dancing, and wedding favorites (Neil Diamond!), Lisa just posted a link to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx7BZEO6zZc
