this year was DEFINITELY my favorite valentine’s day ever!...

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 13:12:37 -0500

this year was DEFINITELY my favorite valentine’s day ever! i had the pleasure of being invited to participate in a V-DAY flash mob and ONE BILLION RISING parade from union square up broadway to 19th street! Under the leadership of friends daniela plattner and michelle goldblum — billy aukstik, rhys tivey and i played the macarena on trumpets with a huge rhythm section. within minutes, over 300 people had filled the square and were turning and grooving in perfect step! we then led everybody up broadway while playing “when the saints go marchin in” to the front of ABC home where deepak chopra gave a thrilling speech on the global movement to prevent violence against women… what an inspiring way to celebrate love! and as daniela put it: dance teaches us that we are never stuck! so make sure to move move move every day! <3 <3 <3 xoxo
