[unathorn]

Closed starter for @lindiwe-in-camelot

The hornets are everywhere. Some people are limping back toward the hub bearing the wounds of savage encounters. Some seemingly stung, others cradling injuries from trying to fight them off. And Una had done her best to see that those who needed help got to the safety of their huts or to the crowding entrance of the medi-centre. Una is sure that the good doctor will have her hands full for quite some time... That is, if she'd managed to avoid an encounter with the flying death squad herself. It's a concern that gnaws at Una's mind.

She doesn't know where people are. The good doctor. Her friend, Baski. The weird Irish stoner. And that worry is something that keeps her feet moving. Even though these things can fly, Una is fairly confident that she has enough speed to give herself a chance of outrunning them (in wolf form) if she ends up in a sticky situation. But she doesn't set out like that... Most people hadn't encountered 'wolf-Una' yet, and she was probably as likely to scare them as the hornets were...

So she's barefoot as she pads quietly between the huts, looking out for anyone who may be injured or struggling. Ducking into cover as small swarms of the hornets pass by, as though patrolling the area. Searching for... What? She doesn't know. But she really doesn't want to think of anyone being suck out here alone and scared.

Moving past the hub, which seems to be a flurry of activity and is acting as something of a triage centre for those with more minor injuries, taking a circular loop back toward the warehouses. Almost passing them by when something catches her attention...

...A scent. So much fainter and harder to distinguish in human form. But with adrenaline pumping and senses on alert, perhaps the wolf part of her is a little more awake too.

It's definitely - human. And... As far as she can tell, there's no iron tang to the scent so... Hopefully whoever is there is unhurt. But maybe scared. And most certainly alone.

A few quiet steps to reach the door... Not poking her head around the corner in case whoever was inside was ready to whack a hornet, and they might just be highly strung enough to hit anything that came through the door unannounced. So she does, announce herself. Quietly.

"Hello? Hello in there? Are you okay? My name is Una. Do you need any help? Hello?"

[chancedarling]

Lindi does actually manage to surprise him again - spouting out a quick definition that definitely sounds like jargon by rote. Something she's memorised?

"Is it?"

He replies, appearing slightly incredulous as she strings out the quote about kidnapping. So where did that come from? Sounds like she's got a background where legal jargon and - precise - definitions came into it. Something in law, or the courts? Or enforcement maybe? As close as Chance ever really came to any kind of legality was his 'front' for the significantly dubious activities that fell into a rather 'murky' soup of legitimacy.

"N-no... I don't think anyone did. Does it still count as kidnapping if they let you go? Because... I mean... They kinda let us go... But... I dunno where we are... Is... Is that the same thing?"

Isn't that what… criminals do

Yep. (Well, he kinda does). Chance doesn't know whether she's correct, but he hopes that she is. He's very, very interested in meeting whoever is behind this. How? Why?

There's just a nod as she confirms the day - that part he was being honest about at least. Friday and pizza with a little online gaming... Maybe not the kind of online gaming she'd assume, but it's as honest as he needs to be in this moment. Either way... Chance is being his observant little self. She learns by rote. She's precise. Maybe involved in law or enforcement. She's also taking notes. Keeping track. Logging... Jotting down...

Useful. Her own little perspective on the situation and the people.

Chance, however is still giving his best rabbit impression, looking moderately uneasy at the suggestions, but appearing as though he's wholly buying into them. That she could be right about everything (and this point, she really could, he has no evidence at all to the contrary so every theory was viable until it wasn't).

But as she mentions pizza, he swallows hard. Makes a show of shaking himself off and bolstering enough courage to stand. Being very careful not to topple the cassettes again (even though it was hardly an accident in the first place) and he just nods, as though Lindi has provided him the perfect distractions from their conspiracy talk.

"Pizza. Yeah. I could definitely go f-for some pizza about now."

Clutching those scratchy linens close he stands. And he's not enought of an arsehol to go charging out, so he waits for her to leave first and pads along behind.

Buffet aside. She's definitely given him some food for thought...

FIN.

Lindi shrugged as Chance mumbled about his music taste, in that fake-rambling way that Paige and her teen friends did when they didn't want to explain to her why they were laughing so hard over a Cards Against Humanity card or an obscure TikTok featuring bizarre Gen Z slang. Maybe his music tastes were embarrassing. Like dubstep, or emo, or K-pop. K-pop wasn't that bad though, she could bop to Dynamite. But, whatever, Lindi was used to being in a state of constant anxiety, worrying about what other people thought of you, so she gave Chance an understanding nod and hum, motioning for him to flick through the tapes.

She also knew a thing or two about nerves making you fumble, so she gave a soft, "Oh dear!" when he sent the cassette tapes scattering across the floor. She crouched down to help Chance put the cassette tapes away, no longer worried about Chance's favourite tunes beyond the piece of small talk it had been.

Lindi turned over a cassette tape by Seal, idly humming the time of Kiss From a Rose, while Chance more seriously considered her musings about being kidnapped. "What are the other alternatives?" Lindi asked, smile tight. "Kidnapping is defined as being taken by force or fraud without consent or reasonable lawful excuse." She shrugged, looking about this warehouse. "I sure as hell did not consent to this."

Her next suggestion had truly shocked him, and Lindi almost wished she could grab the words and yank them back. She couldn't let herself spitball while considering the possibilities, not with poor Chance gawping like that, eyes wide and anxious. "I-I don't know…" She tried to reassure him, putting away the cassette tapes into the holder, taking the time to orgsnise them pleasingly by spine colour. "Isn't that what…" serial killers, "criminals do sometimes? Ingratiate themselves into the investigation, so they can stay close to it?" Lindi said, worried that she'd gone too far. Chance had a sort of glazed look to his eyes for a second there, like he was diving deep into this thought.

But he emerged, startled, revealing an informative, but extremely boring insight into his personal life. One which involved the memorisation of pizza menus and gaming with friends. A nerdy, geeky kind of guy who probably worked less than 40 hours a week but still made close to what Adam made as an almost partner barrister with his 80+ hours. Lindi did feel a brief protective urge for Chance, as if she had any ability to protect him here. "It's Friday for me too," she said, scribbling his name down in her planner on July 21st as a reminder. She didn't want to think on all of that and what it meant right now.

"Well, at least we know there's a proper boom box here," Lindi said, putting the last few of the spilled cassette tapes away into the container. Now it was a very pleasing blend of white to grey to black to red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and brown. Perfect. "I think I saw some pizza on the buffet? There's definitely garlic bread, and it's to die for."

where: somewhere near the tower who: @tempestaslokni

The tower seemed like a reasonable place to turn to in search of answers to questions like, 'what the hell was that noise that you blasted through the speakers this morning?' or 'hey, can we talk real quick about how someone turned into a pile of sand on the beach?' or 'where the fuck are we where the fuck is our rescue when the hell are we getting home?'

All valid questions to ask, at least Lindi thought.

However the tower, smooth and impenetrable, had stumped her. She hadn't gone quite so far as to ask for Rapunzel to let her down her hair, though that seemed to be the only way in, in this illogical situation. Lindi sighed, glancing about the jungle around the tower. It was definitely spooky, being out here by yourself.

Lindi had turned to head back to the beach when something shiny caught her attention. She paused, catching the definite glint again, and wandered off of the path towards it. The jungle was awkward to cut through, underbrush hampering her, but there, in a patch of sunlight she found it. A silicone bracelet, like hers (but without the Crown jewel diamond) strewn in the leaf litter. Lindi frowned, coming close to crouch down and tentatively pick it up with the sleeve of her blouse. Had someone thrown it away?

She made up her mind to take it back to the Hub, start a little lost and found station, but when she looked up she couldn't see the path to the tower. Oh shit. Lindi took in a deep breath of air, already feeling her heart race against her ribs. Great, everything was fine, she was only a wee bit lost in the jungl-

Lindi jumped out of her skin at the sound of a branch snapping, twisting towards the sound. "Oh, you scared the daylights out of me," Lindi said, clutching her hand to her chest at the sight of a young man at the edge of the clearing. Please don't be a serial killer please don't be a serial killer… If she acted chipper and trusting enough, would that convince him to not be a serial killer? "Do you know the way back to the tower? The camp? I found this," she said, holding out the bracelet towards him.

"Yes," Alex said, though he was by himself -- well, physically by himself, by himself in terms of nobody else was standing with him. But in a more accurate way of looking at it, he wasn't ever going to be by himself here, wherever, was he? Not with the regular studding of cameras around the place, providing constant surveillance for an as-yet-unidentified person or persons.

And very likely, there was nobody else who'd come off the Odyssey who understood what it was like living constantly in the camera's eye like Alex Panganiban. So!-- "Yes," he said again, with more conviction, "this will do very nicely for me." The corner bungalow had the best situation, and as Alex forged ahead into it, he realized with a rude shock that somebody else was entering from the other door. "HELLO!" Alex brayed, rushing forward into the little house. "I'm here! This is taken! Occupado!"

Here’s something I’ve been translating on and off for the past week or so! I was looking at old German youth magazines in order to find interesting articles about classic rock bands (specifically Pink Floyd) and came across this in the 01/1978 issue of BRAVO magazine (One of the most famous teen/young adult magazines in Germany that’s been there since 1958 and is still going strong today!) A lot of youth magazines back in the day had articles and posters about rock bands because, well, that’s the people who were celebrities at that time! This page includes both short descriptions of the band members and a short history of the band up until that point when the issue came out! Enjoy ;)

Here’s the original picture

And here is the translation! (Italized text are context comments added by me to add to the understanding of this text!)

Warning: Some of the information here is obviously incorrect!

Pink Floyd: Their profiles

Nick Mason:

Born on the 27th of January 1945 in London, plays drums, has black hair, brown eyes, is 1,72 m tall (for non metric peeps it’s approximately 5 foot 8), is married to Lindy, has two daughters, owns a vineyard and collects old cars (old timers in German means old/vintage cars)

Rick Wright:

Born on the 28th of July 1945 in London, plays the organ/keyboard, piano, cello, and Moog-synthesizer; has blonde hair, blue eyes, is 1, 74 m tall (approximately 5 foot 9), is married to Juliette, has a son named Jamie, and a daughter named Gaia, loves football (or soccer for American peeps)

Roger Waters:

Born on the 6th of September 1944 in Great Bookham near Cambridge, plays bass, Moog-synthesizer, and sings as well; has blonde hair, grey eyes, is 1,83 m tall (approximately 6 feet), is married to Caroline, and has a 15 month old son named Harry.

David Gilmour:

Born on the 6th of March 1946 in Cambridge, plays lead guitar and sings; has brown hair, blue eyes, is 1,78 m tall (approximately 5 foot 10), is married to Ginger, and has a 2 year old daughter named Alice.

The diary/summary of their career; All their albums

1965

The three architecture students Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason meet and get to know each other, establishing the band Sigma 6.

1966

February: Sigma 6 gets their first fee for a performance in the London Marquee Club and mostly cover popular rock and blues songs. During this time they meet art student Syd Barrett. He writes songs and joins the band as a guitarist and singer. Under his influence Sigma 6 evolve into their own music style: The group does electronic experiments and uses spotlights, reversal film, and recorded footage as part of their stage shows. Thus psychedelic music is born. Syd Barrett is as well (psychedelic), who now comes up with new names for the band almost every month — they call themselves “T-Set,“ “Abdabs” — and in this group a girl sings as well from time to time: Juliette Gale. She later marries keyboardist Rick Wright.

June: The group could pay for a band bus for approximately 200 Mark (the German currency at the time of this article), but decide to separate for the time instead. No one is interested in performing, since the boys want to enjoy the semester holidays as well as after them improve and work harder on their studies; music is fun but a real job is more important. Syd Barrett then has a new idea for a band name: The Pink Floyd Sound. He comes up with his idea through combining the names of two American blues singers: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The owner of an artist agency, Peter Jenner, sees a performance from The Pink Floyd Sound in the Marquee, and then from there on decides to manage the band, not knowing the band wanted to break up.

July: Peter Jenner gets the band gigs, and thus Pink Floyd stays together.

October: Pink Floyd are now the stars of the London Underground. They perform in the Roundhouse to 2000 fans, with even Paul McCartney being there to see them.

December: On the 23rd of December the UFO club opens, with Pink Floyd performing there daily henceforth.

1967

January: The English music magazine “Melody Maker” write an article about Pink Floyd, which makes record companies curious about the band. The band accepts the best offer, and as they sign the record label contract, they cash in an advance payment of 40 000 Mark.

February: The first single “Arnold Layne” gets recorded.

March: Arnold Layne goes to the English hit charts.

April: The single is on number 20 in the charts and then falls off. But this beginning success gives them the push they needed to record their first album “The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.“ Norman “Hurricane” Smith serves as producer for this album, and began his career as a recording engineer for the Beatles. While Pink Floyd work on their album in studio 3 of Abbey Road studios, the Beatles work on their album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at the same time in studio 2; two decade defining groups working next door.

June: Pink Floyd join as a supporting act along with Jimi Hendrix and the Move (runner up band to Electric Light Orchestra) for an England tour, but only get to play 17 minutes.

July: The second single “See Emily Play,“ becomes part of the English hit charts, coming in at number 6, and the first album “The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn” releases.

September: See Emily Play also goes into the German hit charts and reaches number 28. Syd Barrett at this time also creates a speaker system which is still useful today, where the speaker boxes are placed all around the room.

1968

At this time, it is practically impossible for Pink Floyd to continue performing with Syd Barrett. He is more and more off in his own world and mind, often not knowing where he is. Out of necessity, the band thus searches for a second guitarist who could join the band.

February: David Gilmour joins Pink Floyd. Syd is still part of the band, but during concerts his amps are often not even turned on, so that the audience doesn’t know any better about his mistakes.

April: On the 6th of April Syd definitively leaves the band, with manager Peter Jenner going with him. Pink Floyd begin working on their second album “A Saucerful of Secrets.“

June: At a free open air concert on the 29th in the London Hyde Park the band officially announces and debuts David Gilmour as their new lead (and only) guitarist. On the same day the new album releases as well.

1969

July: The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “More,” releases.

October: Pink Floyd have their first concert in Germany on the 11th of October at the Pop and Blues Festival in the Essen Grugahalle venue. On this day, Deep Purple celebrate their first concert in Germany as well.

November: The double album “Ummagumma” releases and makes the group successful worldwide for the first time.

1970

March: The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “Zabriskie Point” releases.

June: Pink Floyd perform the title track of their upcoming new album “Atom Heart Mother” worldwide at open air festivals with recorded footage, dry ice fog, and light bombs as part of their special effects on stage.

October: The album “Atom Heart Mother” releases and leads the album charts in England and America.

1971

The album “Meddle” comes out. This year Pink Floyd is particularly busy; they go from one concert to the next and have multiple tours worldwide.

1972

The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “La Vallée” releases under the title “Obscured by Clouds” as their new album. The rest of the year the band spends inside the studio.

1973

March: The album “Dark Side of the Moon” releases and is on the English and American album charts for over two years, and also goes gold in Germany. It is to this day the band’s most sold album.

October: Pink Floyd perform their last German concert for a long time on the 12th of October at the Olympiahalle in Munich, and it becomes the sensation of the year. Pink Floyd also make their way into the English and German single charts again with the single “Money.”

1974

Pink Floyd are tired of success and go back to their private family lives, with rumors appearing that the group will break up. In autumn, the double album “A nice pair” comes out, which is a rerelease of their first two albums.

1975

September: The album “Wish You Were Here” releases.

1976

This year, Pink Floyd doesn’t appear publicly that much as well, except for some performances at festivals.

1977

January: In Dortmund Pink Floyd start their first German tour since 3 years ago on the 23rd. They have 2 concerts each for Dortmund, Frankfurt, and Berlin, with Munich having 3. All concerts were sold out 2 months before the tour started. Simultaneously the 11th album of the band, “Animals” releases. Even before the album released, “Animals” goes gold, with 250 000 records being preordered. This German tour is also the starting point of a months long worldwide tour — the most comprehensive one that Pink Floyd have undertaken yet.

CLOSED STARTER for @lindiwe-in-camelot location: AT THE HUB timestamp: EVENT 02: PART 01: THE DRONES

The buzzing was not fun. Not fun at all. Sure, Baskar knew exactly where the Hornets were, they knew where they were flying off to, what places they might appear in next, and so forth. But it was also far too much noise. Too much sensory overload that even if they were aware that if they headed to the left they’d run into a swarm of them, they also barely registered it. Running into the next group of them scooping over the area looking for a next target. What were they doing? 

They didn’t want to know. They wanted them to finish whatever it was that kept them busy and then disappear. There were tears in Baskar’s eyes. Their teeth gritted together, every new almost altercation left them five seconds away from freaking out. But intensity was something they could handle. It hadn’t ever left them unable to cope, survival mode was in their blood. 

So when they did run into the next swarm, they were quick to shoot away and seek a place to hide. Running past the hub’s kitchen and scooting low to disappear behind the bar. Not the most well-hidden spot, but hopefully a bit too crammed for the large robots to fly into. 

They weren’t alone in thinking it a safe spot. 

Despite not having been to the meeting - because it had been far too busy - they’d seen Lindi a few times before. They recognised her without needing to hear her voice. 

Though right now it seemed a good idea to keep quiet for a moment. They pressed their finger against their lips, because they could clearly still hear the buzzing. The never ending buzzing.

Another Friday! ::awkward dubstep moves::

We're all going with the motions, working together on Episode 4 and other content. There's nothing super exciting to share, and it's mostly "Yes, we're still working on it!"

That said, I can share some progress and insight regarding Episode 4. All of this is still unreleased…

Episode 4 - Writing: Scene 01 - Intro: 1.5K words (DONE) Scene 02 - Lindi: 1.2K words (Editing) Scene 03 - Debrief: (Drafting) Significant Branch 1A - Bug: 500 words (Editing) Significant Branch 1B - Puzzle: (Drafting) Scene 04 - Ceph: 1.5K words (Editing) Scene 05 - Approach: (Drafting) Significant Branch 2A - Elevator: 700 words (Writing) Significant Branch 2B - Meetup: (Drafting) Significant Branch 2C - Explore: (Drafting) Scene 06 - Naaka: 1.2K words (Editing) Scene 07 - Stealth: 1.4K words (Editing) … It continues like this, and I'd rather not spoil anything by accident, such as the fancy new exploration features Trix has been working on!

Unreleased Freeroam Scenes: Veera's Scenes: 6x scenes: 2K words (All in various stages of Drafting and Writing) Khalil's Scenes: 2x scenes: 6K words (Editing) Matthias Scenes: 2x scenes: 4K words (Writing) Reyna Scenes: 1x Scene: 2K words (Editing) Tabitha Scenes 1x Scene: 1K words (Writing) Lebeny Scenes: 1x Scene 4.5K words (Editing) … Etc

As you can see, it's pretty boring, but we have been working hard. Perhaps more exciting is the new characters that Tae have been drawing for Episode 4.

There are nine new aliens, with several more coming later this month. (You've seen some teasers of them) There are also five new crew members whom you haven't met yet. (You've seen teasers of Lindi, and now you've seen Andreas also!)

Stoffies is still catching up on redrawing the remaining older backgrounds, and once that's done, he'll start on the new ones for Episode 4.

Enjoy your weekend, and be kind to each other!

The Guardian, quotidiano britannico e globale, dal 2018, a differenza di molti altri quotidiani, ad esempio dei grandi media generalisti italiani, ha scelto e deciso di parlare con coerenza giornalistica della crisi climatica. Assumendo in modo corale, dalla proprietà al comitato di redazione l’emergenza del clima come uno dei problemi principali del nostro tempo e dando di conseguenza alta priorità al problema nella gerarchia delle notizie del network.

I giornalisti di Guardian hanno fatto propria una scelta di verità.

I NUOVI IMBRATTATORI

Quando vogliamo parlare di gesti come quelli che hanno destato molto clamore e indignazione dei giorni scorsi con l'imbrattamento dei muri delle colonne di ingresso e delle finestre basse di Palazzo Madama, sede del Senato, azione messa a segno con vernice lavabile da attivisti di #UltimaGenerazione, organizzazione di giovani e giovanissimi ecologisti, dobbiamo credo, guardare i ragazzi. E, guardando i ragazzi, guardare noi. Madri e padri di ragazzi, ex ragazzi, vetero ragazzi, scegliendo di proiettarsi senza indugio nell'oggi.

Noi, adulti, direttori di giornali, editori, politici, commentatori, figure di avanspettacolo della politica di destra e sinistra, industriali, consumatori, siamo I PADRONI E CUSTODI DEL MONDO. Anche se facciamo solo pezzi del reale, ogni nostro gesto, oggi, incide in maniera ineluttabile e decisiva, sul mondo e sul mondo di domani. Su quello che avranno in eredità i nostri flgli, i nipoti.

Imbrattare non è un bel modo di farsi sentire. Se alle prime piogge, che non so quando siano, quando saranno, i bei pilastri della facciata del monumentale palazzo governativo non saranno lindi, i ragazzi di Ultima Generazione dovrebbero essere portati sui ponteggi con i restauratori, a riparare. Il tempo che serve. Chi rompe, paga. Il lavoro manuale con insegnanti e artieri è oro ed ha enorme valore pedagogico.

Ma questo vale anche per noi

Pensiamo a quanto noi, NOI, con il nostro disinteresse, il nostro lavoro da convertire eco, magari domani, i nostri prodotti, il nostro stile di vita, le nostre facce voltate dall'altra parte. Sempre. Tutti quei videogame che abbiamo comprato per anni ai nostri ragazzi sporcandogli la vita, abbruttendogli la testa, annientando la loro capacità di concentrazione, mettedo davanti i nostri valori, con le automobili, sempre più mastodontiche, le merendine che gli davamo, sempre più inquinate. Che impattano e costano. Provare a pensare quanto noi, abbiamo imbrattato il mondo, il mondo che i giovani avranno in dote. Le vernici sui templi preziosi sono la loro restituzione concettuale portata con gesti disperati. E, del resto, come sono custoditi i veri tesori dell'umanità.

Una azione trasgressiva, come tante se ne sono viste in passato, ha un valore reale e un valore simbolico. E, a me, le performance pseudodistruttive degli attivisti di Ultima generazione appaiono più come gesti ultimi in anni ultimi, di giovani disperati. Personalmente, come giornalista, non giudico mai i gesti disperati. Se faccio in tempo, li scongiuro.

Forse, prima di prendere posizione, dovremmo prendere posizione davanti allo specchio. Alla nostra immagine. Provare a guardare bene la figura che si delinea dietro la facciata. Quelle linde facciate morali.

Scopriremmo come Dorian Gray i cumuli di sporcizia che l'azione del potere, delle sue leve, ha lasciato come incrostazioni nel nostro retrovolto. Ci vergogneremmo, o, forse, non ci vergogneremo mai. E puniremo, con accanimento, come sempre, l'altra faccia della nostra vita adulta, i ragazzi.

這次能拿到獎項，實在是意料外的事。 臺語歌、Tap Dance、Ballroom dance 、和Swing Dance 。 實在很喜歡這種把多種元素舞蹈串在一起的感覺。 感謝艾文的邀約，讓我能跟這樣棒的團隊合作！感謝ChaChaCha好伙伴Egg。 除小金人外，拿到最佳樂團獎實在也蠻有意義的，畢竟Swing的基底就Jazz Big band 1920年��-1950年代大樂團，稱為Big band / Jazz Orchestra / Dance band；大樂團即興成分較少，不像後期小編制的樂團會輪流獨奏即興，唯有編曲者指定才會有獨奏。 編制通常有10到25位樂手，而後正式的編制有17人：鋼琴、低音提琴、爵士鼓、吉他、小號x4、長號x4、薩克斯風x5（通常為中音薩克斯風x2、次中音薩克斯風x2、上低音薩克斯風x1）。 當大樂團台上演奏時就可以從台下跳舞者搖擺的程度來看這個樂團夠不夠swing，就如艾靈頓公爵(Duke Ellington)大樂團有一首曲子叫《It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing》。 希望有一天，我也能用Lindy跳出整首歌的各個樂手樂器。 ～ ∞ ～ ∞～ ∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～ Oh對，你知道Taiwan Latin Smash和Friday Swing 一起在 "Taiwan Latin Smash" 三周年慶共同舉辦綜合舞會嗎？ 你沒有看錯 你也沒有聽錯 這次的活動將以分樓層的方式 夢寐以求的跨樓層舞會 讓舞者們可以自由跑動跳舞 舞會報名連結 : 👉https://reurl.cc/kqQAb9 ✦多種舞風體驗嘗鮮 🔔Swing新手體驗 🔔Zouk新手體驗 ✦爵士與拉丁的巧遇 🔔台灣高規格舞會 🔔Swing/Slasa/Bachata/Zouk跨樓層舞會 ✦精采表演演出 🔔Salsa舞團演出 (Taiwan Latin Smash) 🔔The Moon Hoppers舞團演出 (Friday Swing) ✦大樂隊演出驚艷整晚 🔔台灣最頂尖Salsa［台灣拉丁重擊］大樂團 🔔Taiwan Swing Switch (七重奏) 讓我們敬請期待，一票玩到底，多重體驗 ✦絕佳饗宴 🔔DJ嚴選 🔔含兩杯飲品 🔔五小時舞會不兼斷 無論是資深舞者、新進朋友 或是喜歡音樂，喝小酒，以舞會友 歡迎一起來感受週末拉丁與爵士的盛會 樓層分布： ✅6樓DJ /Bachata/zouk ： 20:00 Zouk 體驗 20:30 DJ Zouk/Bachata 22:00 DJ Bachata/Zouk 23:30 DJ Bachata 01:00 see you next time ✅9樓Salsa/Bachata/Live： 19:30 進場 20:00 DJ Salsa/ Bachata 21:30 舞團演出 （拉丁/搖擺） 22:30 Taiwan Latin Smash (Live Band) 23:45 DJ 00:45 DJ 01:30 see you next time ✅16樓Swing social /live : 19:30 進場 20:30 搖擺雙人舞體驗 21:00 Taiwan Swing Switch (Live Band) 21:50 DJ Swing Dance 22:50 Taiwan Swing Switch (Live Band) 00:30 see you next time ～ ∞ ～ ∞～ ∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～ ✧ 舞會資訊 ➤時間��2023/01/07(六) 19:30-01:30 ➤地點：SkyCo (台北市松山區南京東路三段287號16樓, 近南京復興站6號出口步行3分鐘) ✧ Salsa Dancer 🔸門票：原價$600/1人 ✧Friday Swing專屬優惠 : 僅提供給於Friday Swing購買票卷的搖擺舞者 🔸門票：$1800/4人, $1000/2人 ～ ∞ ～ ∞～ ∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～∞ ～ p.s. 若以Friday Swing 優惠方案購票，請於16樓入場簽到（在 阿曼達大舞場-台北旗艦店） https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcU97KBmoV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
