What I did this weekend, thanks to Decibel Festival’s free show at Volunteer Park. This video does not include Dre and I reenacting several key moments from Step Up 2 The Streets.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Awesome! I was scared of running into ex and didn’t go, but I wanted to. Is the girl with the baby the one I’ll be cleaning for?
I think I saw some old skool arm moves there….

Kell: you totally saw some old school arm moves. Dre and I were also rocking the Kidd ‘N’ Play at one point, and some truly awful popping and locking.
Semi-related musing that I may expound on later: I used to dance to look good (I did years of dance classes when I was younger), but NIA has gotten me to the place where I focus more on the sensation (ooh, flapping around like this makes my arm muscles feel awesome!) and the result is … this film, aka me flapping around and spazzing out because it feels good.

So *that’s* what you guys were doing! I couldn’t stop laughing most of the time we were up there.
I look like I can’t be bothered to dance, belying the times I danced so hard I felt liftoff (and totally re-fucked my back-but I had fun doing it)

I love the little cameo of Owen doing his full body wiggle. Priceless.
