Before Sunrise



If you go to 2:42, you can see a couple dancing facing you and a younger dude in suspenders. Behind him is another couple, a shorter guy with suspenders dancing with a woman with bangs in a 30s/40s style. Those two taught east coast swing and lindy hop at all the Austin clubs in the 90s. Cool people, great dancers, really into the scene.

I am blanking on their names, but knew them fairly well. Reminds me of a good story: tried to date this beautiful chick who knew them well, too, and was also in the swing dancing scene. She was a waitress at a diner I went to often near the law school (Red River Cafe). She agreed to go out on a date with me the summer I was studying for the bar exam, after I worked up the nerve to ask her out. Great date. Then she thanked me and said can we be friends, I'm a lesbian. :( Her name, I will never forget.

Damn I miss Austin of the 90s.
WAS HER NAME AMANDA? If so, I get credit.

I doubt it. I’ve never seen it.
