Ellen Minsavage: August 2008 Archives

Happy 8/8/08. Here is a video of local singers participating in an Idol Maker class at Duncan Media Productions in North York.
Get the scoop about local weekend events here, here or here.

Joshua Allen won the title of America's favorite dancer on "So You Think You Can Dance." I'm pretty stoked since he was one of my favorites from the beginning. Joshua, a street dancer with hardly any formal dance training, was able to pull off every dance style that was thrown at him with little effort. Well, he made it seem effortless, anyway. Joshua won $250,000 and a movie role.

No, I didn't get shot in Camden, but it was pretty close. I saw The Killers at the Download Festival on Saturday. I had no idea The Killers had such a frat-boy fan base. They swarmed around the amphitheater and parking lot in their polo shirts and cargo shorts, spilling their plastic cups of beer on unsuspecting, sober concert-goers (for once, I left a concert beer-stain free). The day was filled with music, but my friends and I only went for Iggy Pop and The Stooges, and of course, The Killers.
