I feel sorry for our neighbors downstairs.
When I arrived back home after work today, I found all the furniture shoved against the walls and Chelsea saying, “Oh, you missed it!”
“I missed what?”
“We were dancing the Thriller!”
Apparently, at 12:30 a.m. UTC/GMT on Oct. 25, there will be “an annual worldwide simultaneous dance of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.” It’s an actual, vaguely organized event called “Thrill the World.”
And my roommates are participating. And apparently have been practicing for much of the afternoon and evening.
After I declined their invitation to join them in their final practice run of the night, I decided to take photos. At the very least, it’d be a good break from editing… more photos… for a presentation tomorrow.
And why is every photo from generally the same angle? Because our living room is small, and they warned me in advance to stand on top of the sofa.
“It’s the only safe area,” Chelsea explained. “That’s why the computer is there.”
And now, back to work. I think it’s gonna be an all-nighter.
We only practiced for an hour. Not “much of the afternoon and evening.” What kind of journalist doesnt check their facts? lol
