Ah, you beat me to it..
After all this waiting I finally my local library managed to get
me a copy, all the way from Germany (hooray for danish libraries).
My plan was to scan and distribute as well for free. It seems that
I won't have to bother. Well hit me up good sir with a electronic...
comon... pdf dude!
BUMP
Just checking if anyone know someone that has a copy, and would care to either:
a) persuade
b) mainpulate
c) torture
.. this person to scan the book as a pdf, and spread the sacred words of wisdom to other worshippers of swank! At least in California i know...
I am filled with such sorrow.. its hard to grasp that my great hero is gone.
But i pray that he had his last wish fullfilled, that heaven would be a eternal savoy ballroom. God bless you frankie! You inspired me with your enthusiasm for the lindy hop and made my dark days shine with your...

Ah... Basterds.. Dunno either about the contreversy, havent decided what to think about it yet.
I did apply for a job on this film as a storyboard artist though (GOOD LUCK! 'ay?). And heard that there was hundreds of people standing in line (perfectly vintage too) for casting as extras (in Berlin).
Just a follow up, I thought about it some more.
Because it depends on the meaning of "soul". The feeling of "being reealy into" it can be acchieved by anyone, and some scientist refer to it as "flow". And its a good place to start, if you want more "soul" into the dance.
But to me it is a...
Hm.. I guess that depends on where you were. I think (and the impression I get from Frankie Mannings biography), that social dancing in the black ballrooms was much like this, and that Harlem was still cookin' at that time.
Here's black cats dancing in the REAL savoy (closed 1958):

The Bike Lantern!
Now get this very retrofuturistic invention.
The bike lantern!
I enjoy steampunk or retrofuturism very much. I enjoy the fantasy of films like "Bladerunner" (40s noir mix/ w. a 80's imagination of high-tech), "Brazil" and some of the french films like "City of Lost...
Space-cadet office?
Oh - Goodie! I'm also, like you say a horizontal organizer (pile rather than file). A creative mind that prefers Right Brain organizing, or in scientific terms (yes, there is one): Divergent Thinker.
Heres two really neat tips (maby you know them, but they are...
Yes, that was a silly question.. I see that now :p
But what kind of gentlemans vintage desk should I have him make? I see some nice pictures in this thread but can't see the design of the desk, except the one in the Hopper painting. More suggestions wanted, pleeeze! :D
Homemade spats
Very good job Nick! :eusa_clap
Now, may I ask how you made the pattern? Did you wrap your wifes foot with testfabric/paper and drew with a marker?
Once I made a pair of medevial shoes, following a easy method.
Its done like this: 1.) Put on a wooly sock, 2.) Wrap your...
Custom made period-desk?
I am in a lucky situation.
I designed a logo for this danish furniture designer, and instead of paying me a special friend price ($ 1-2.500), he want to build something special for me!
So what do you think I should have him make? He suggested a desk, customized to...

Best Speedster,
My second trip went very well, although it was alot of ups and downs
in the hunt for jobs in hollywood. The comic in Politiken ended for good last year, but I wrote about it on the blog.

Instead, we were actually filming the...
PDF?
Would anyone care to conjure a pdf one day? It would be a incredible asset to us poor FL'ers living far away from UK/ US.
The only copy I can get is from a German fashion school, and I bet you something nice that they would never dream of sending it to Denmark.
Let us know if it...
