Lindy in the Park Swings On! This Sunday, May 20, 2012 (Bay to Breakers day)

ХудожникHey Dancers!

YES, we ARE planning to have Lindy in the Park this Sunday, May 20, 2012, the day of the Bay to Breakers race (weather permitting, of course)!  Lindy in the Park will take place at its regular time (11:00 AM-2:00 PM) and location (south sidewalk of JFK Drive, near the de Young museum), even though we might have 100,000+ extra people running near or through our dance floor!

We canceled LitP for Bay to Breakers the previous 3 years, and the race does run along JFK Drive through Golden Gate Park, but with the more sober version of the race and earlier 7:00AM start time (for the race, that is, not LitP!), we think this will be a fun, and relatively clean(?) day.

However, due to the crowds and street closures, traffic and parking will definitely be affected.  Please allow yourself extra time to get to LitP and consider using public transit (e.g., BART, Muni).  To drive north-south in SF across the race course, I believe that Embarcadero and 19th Ave./Park Presidio will remain open in both directions at all times.  For more information about street closures and public transportion, check the official Bay to Breakers web site: http://zazzlebaytobreakers.com

And keep your valuables at home or in a safe place!

Hope to see you at the park (no floats, no booze, costumes optional),

Please remember to set your clocks forward 1 hour (Spring Forward) Saturday night, and don’t be late for LitP Sunday morning!  We hope to see you all at the park (on time, weather permitting).

Hope we can return next week.

And yes, there is also Lindy in the Park on New Year’s Day!

Hey Dancers,

January 1st, 2012, New Year’s day, also falls on a Sunday, but we’re still having Lindy in the Park.  So bring in the new year with our favorite free outdoor swing dance (and work off all those extra holiday calories!).

Happy Holidays!

Yes, Lindy Hoppers, there is a Lindy in the Park on Christmas Day!

Hey Everyone,

December 25th, Christmas day, falls on a Sunday this year, and we’ve decided to have a special Christmas edition of Lindy in the Park.  What better way to celebrate than swing dancing outside with your friends?  Same regular place, same regular time, same amount of fun, and few more holiday tunes thrown into the mix.

Hope to see you at the park on Christmas day!

Happy Holidays!
Ken
