Hootenanny?
FOUND by Patrick Burk
in Kentucky
Found on the sidewalk on my way to class, this seems to show several older persons in a basement "getting their groove on," as it were.

anything that gives a glimpse into someone

FIRST! Yes, I am the first. Every day at FOUND feels EXACTLY like this.
I wish I could see all those photos on the bulletin board better.
okay, who spiked the punch?
Come to me, Mama....
From the latest Girls Gone Wild video.
Gaaah! Get me outta here quick!
Middle-aged men and no different than middle school boys. The owner of the hand on the lower left is going for some side-boob.
Is that old dude with the cane running for the door, or moseying on over there to ask Mary Alice to bust a move?
(*Congrats, Jason.)
the lady in the center in the black sweater: is she concentrating that hard on her dance steps, or did she just step in gum? (or on a big ol' bug?)
"Older" than who? Should I be concerned that these people are starting to look more like my peers than like my parents?
Have you seen Lost in Translation? (the movie, not the frequent Found Poster) the lady in the red striped shirt looks like she's doing that little dance that the Japanese talk show host did in honor of Bob's presence on the show: "donk donk a-donk.. donk donk a donk.. owee owee owee owee... bobby!"
*Everybody on the whole cell block,
They were dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock*
Sure looks like they're having fun!
L, I came to say the exact same words, "Older than who?" Some of them only look to be in their 30s (older fashion, presumably because this photo is old, making them seem older than that). Oh noes, not the THIRTIES!!! Old n creaky, give up now, you are now lame and ooolld.....
The teachers lounge on the last day of school!
Could be anything from a village hall dance to a Pentecostal praise service! Not many hands in the air, though, so I'll go with village hall dance...maybe a class for the older set?
do you think we could guess the music from the poses?
i spy pleated pants.
i like how they look like they're all really "gettin' down"...
Where are the males?
I spy with my little eye...only 3 MALES!!!
WTF????
No party goin' on without men!! No way, no how, NO,NO,NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't had my coffee, yet.
This looks like a fire house dance during the mid 1970s-not that I'd really know....hmmmmLOL. But I like this find. But I keep asking myself ...why do all the ladies have short hair ????
The spam protection thingy startled me but at least the answer is one of my favorite retro shows !
Am I right that the only man in the photo is the balding guy with the goatee shuffling toward the door in the back?
Maybe it's a still from the "Older Lesbians Go Wild" video.
Hrlp!! My hand... It's out of control! It won't let go of my face!!!
Notice the pictures posted on the wall in the far right... This was not their first brouhaha.
The old dude by the door thinks that's too loud! That's not music! I'm going to pee!
i have to wonder what age the finder is... i am 30, and proud of my age. i constantly remind myself that IF I AM LUCKY i will have the privilege of growing old.
Old Boy by the door is shuffling toward the men's room. The Metamucil just kicked in and he doesn't want to 'mess' himself in front of all these young ladies.
I'm with Sara. As a teachers child, and as a (once) teacher myself I am almost certain that this is a teachers party of some sort.
Good times, good times.
I think it's a work party. My mom works for a hospital and this looks like something her department would put together. They are always having parties or excuses to party and most of those that work with her are in their mid-thirties or older....hey wait a sec....MOM????!!!!
Yes, I'd say definitely teachers, and none of them old. The only old person in the photo is the man by the door. But heck, trying to keep up with this bunch of women would make any man old before his time!
Magnify please!
Is that a telescope on the right edge? I spy a guitar case, too. What's that other tripod-looking object next to it?
I believe that poor woman in the foreground is being molested by the Pillsbury Doughboy.
This looks like a church party. Perhaps Unity or Unitarian.
Jason, Chrome doesn't like it when you gloat at being first post.
They're dancing to Tainted Love.
Best bunch of clever comments I've seen in a while. You people really have your funny on today.
Me? Seem to have damaged the jocular lobe last night. May have been around the time I said "Scotch? I don't drink scotch. Okay--I'll have one."
Tarn it all, Flargy. Sorry. But we just love you.
The dress like teachers.
I agree that this has to do with something musical. The far right "stick" looks like the end of a microphone "boom" stand.
Side note: Stripe Shirt Clapper Lady has some muscles in those arms.
i have to agree with Sara in AZ. Teachers getting down with their bad selves in the cafeteria (teachers break room too small) after the last student has left for the summer.
I think Clapper Lady is the Phys. Ed. teacher.
I am also of the opinion that this is a hoedown of the lesbionic persuasion. I really want to know what the chick in blue did to deserve a neck brace. Breakdancing?
Thanks you guys, for giving me something to laugh about this morning. I needed some cheer.. now I can go to work with my head in the right place!
Sarasara; any objections to my naming a character in a short story after you?
Wait a minute... Is it fair that Jason gets so excited about being first? It just seems like he might have a bit of advantage over the rest of us, seeing as he is FOUND and all.
It isn't the cafeteria... it's the band room. The kids just left for band camp and their parents are having a party to celebrate. Whhheeeee! No kids for a week!!!!
OLDER? I'm with you, L!
"Lesbionic", Thunderdome? Greta word-sounds like a new line of super vibrators or dildos!
Sara in AZ nailed it!
I think they are dancing to Kool and the Gang, Celebrate!
Oh please please please let up with all this math spam!!!!
Lesbionic Persuasion, starring Lindsay Wagner as the Lesbionic woman?
I see potential!
When I first saw this pic, I thought it was a bday party or something at some sort of care facility. The woman in the (neckbrace? white turtleneck?) kind of looks like she's wearing a long-sleeved "scrub" shirt, if there is such a thing.
Hey, at least Jason mentioned the Find in his post.
Please magnify! Lady in the front, grey shirt... um, is she doing the chicken dance or is that someone elses hand under her arm? These people are getting down!
Older?? What? My first thought was 'ahhh, young people having a good time' -- ahem.
Certainly looks like a school building. Something spontaneous, as they're not dressed in their party best like the teachers at too many end of term jollies I was once obliged to tag along to.
Mike stands and instrument cases suggest there's a live band just out of sight.
I don't know what the music is, but sure as hell the next number will be YMCA'...
to me this looks like a DD(dev. disability) dance... and the owner of the hand is providing blance support to a dancer... it looks like fun!
Looks like they are doin' the Electric Slide!
Hey, I'm the finder. :)
Here's a close-up of the scanned photo:
http://www.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&
I can make out the word "Halloween" on the bulletin board, but that's all the information I could find.
"Do a little dance make a little love get down tonight, get down tonight...." WooT!! I love a good dance number! lol I dont even think they look like "older" people and heck Im 24. Your only as old as you feel :P but heck to each his own.
Ooooooh and I do have to tell you guys, as of yesterday.... I'm Getting Married!!!!! :)
YAY!!! :D
Ok back to the subject at hand, I agree it loks like teachers getting down with their bad selves
Oops, sorry, make that:
http://bellsouthpwp2.net/b/u/burkt/Hootenanny.
definately the Cha Cha Slide at the "Lesbians Without Partners" quarterly social.
the bulletin board behind them reads: social action news
the pictures look like kids and i think it reads something like halloween party
i only see one male, he's at the door considering all options.
how wonderful to see so much genuine happiness!
Well, Patrick I can't be the only one wondering what is going on in http://www.att.net/p/s/community.dll?ep=16&grou
Now THAT'S a find!
Dude! I thought the woman behind dancing muscles was a man in a suit! I went to the close up and he turned into a lady with a really weird scarf! I didn't realize the yellow hairbow belonged with suit man. I did think the scarf was strange, though.
It is kind of strange that muscles is the only one in the entire room going sleeveless. Everyone else is dressed for winter, scarves, turtlenecks and all, and she looks like she is working up a sweat. Very interesting find.
Patrick, thanks for the bigger picture! Looks like the bulletin board is from halloween party 2004? (maybe it's 2005) Pics of all these fun folk dressed as mummies and witches?
Butt seriously, wtf is up with the dude whose butt is on backwards????
Uh.... Muscles is sleeveless because of the hot shoe she's wearing. For some reason, I don't know if you've noticed... her shoe has a flame coming off of it... looks like a lit fuse of some sort. I believe this photo is the lost bit of evidence that would really have broken the case. It's the last photo of any of these people alive. And now we all know whodunnit!
Is it me, or do these ladies look like they're line dancing. Whee!
Hello,
Lost my camera on Jan.12,2008 on Air Canada returning from Mexico. Pictures of family, sentimental value. Keep camera but please,please post pictures.
Thank you kindly.
Congrats, UtahChick!
It looks like the nurses are stealing the patients' meds again.
Doesn't the old guy have a walker and isn't there the tip of a cane in the right corner? Maybe it's a gay and lesbian nursing home and he's wandered into wymmyn's boogie night. It definitely feels instituionalized and somehow happily homosexual. Either way, they are really dancing up a storm.
It was either "lesbionic" or "dykotronic", which sounds like an interesting genre of dance music.
I'm just burning doin' the dykotronic dance.
This has "county care facility" written all over it.
I was going to guess that they are nurses and aids at a nursing home/ assisted living place. They are having a party - places like those have dances/ parties all the time - I used to volunteer to dance with the old people when I was in high school. The really old guy in the back is one of the people who lives there. The pictures on the back wall are pictures of some of the people who live there (also very common to see in nursing homes).
so there's not even ONE young hott(ish) male nurse or orderly that works at this facility? buuuummmerrrrr. I'd be finding a new residence facility. Have to have at least one piece of eye candy to make the days tolerable, and the parties worth the effort.
Wait. Maybe the young hott guys are playing in the band.
I can hear the strains of Missy Elliot's "Get Your Freak On"..........."is THAT your chick?"
Shortage of men in nursing homes is not too uncommon. In fact, when my great-grandma was moved to a large nursing home facility there was only one man that lived among them and they often fought over him. The sad fact was that most of the residents there had alzheimers or were senile, my great-grandmother included. For spite, she would steal things from the other residents because she believed they stole her boyfriend. We called him the nursing home player.
I KNEW IT!! Only 1 male at the very back by the EXIT door!!!
Well, we can dream that there's a HAWTTIE taking the photos!!
Looks like Teachers or a Theatre participants party after the deed has been completed on the last or first night!!
@ UTAH CHIC- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR UTAHCHICCCCCCCCCCCCCC
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND MANY MORE...............................
I hope you were spoiled in every way possible, today!!!!
Holly
xo
You're getting married AND it's your birthday? I missed that. But congratulations!
Isn't it embarrassing when you go to clap and you miss like that?
UtahChick, congrats, how did he/she ask?
UtahChick, congrats, how did he/she ask? The picture in the back says Happy 30th. So this must a birthday party. A get down one.
looks like a blast....
Go for it chickies !!!!
@ Pepper:
Kind of funny you ask lol it wasn't very romantic. He works nights and so I wont see him til Sunday and he said he just couldn't wait anymore and asked me over the phone lol But his little speech was still soooooo sweet :)
Yup yup
@ Holly:
My B-day was two days ago but thank you very much! Now Im celebrating my engagement :D YAY!!
I can't get to Patrick's link. It keeps redirecting me, saying access denied bandwidth limit exceeded. I'm bummed. Guess I'll go back to staring at the moon, what's left of it.
Premature proposeulation.
HOW do old people WANG CHUNG?
Actually, I don't see the big deal about this photograph. Maybe the subjects are not the age that one would expect to see behaving this way, but in my opinion, everyone has the right to have fun. I hope that as I age, I continue to get down and boogie.
It doesn't say 'Happy 30th', it says 'RE HALLOWEEN PARTY 2006' or possibly 2004. Maybe RE (or possibly KE) is the initials of the establishment or department?
Anyone from the CIA out there can sharpen up the resolution on this for us?? Would love to be able to read some of the stuff on the noticeboard.
Those handrail things either side of the door might be some kind of stairlift? In which case definitely a care home, not a school? Juast imagine the folks upstairs trying to get some sleep and banging their sticks on the floor, heh heh.
Yes. I thought the one at the back was a slim young chap too (in a frilly flowery shirt) until I saw the earring.
Is that somebody's arm in front of the Halloween pics board? In which case there's a whole lot more party going on away to the right. Maybe that's where all the boys are.
@Jonathan; there are lots of "slim young chaps" who wear earrings, have done since the late 70s. Doesn't mean a thing, gender-identification-wise.
These people aren't all that "older"--unless the finder is about 15. I only see 2 people who would qualify remotely as "wrinklies"...the rest are in their early 30s, tops!! Only an adolescent can call them "older people."
Sidebar: did you know that in Spanish, "adolescer" means to lack, as in need things you don't have? So "adolescent" means a young person who still needs to acquire a lot of things...wisdom, perhaps, experience, maturity...
lol, they are all in various stages of the "Electric Slide"... Next up- the "Tush Push"!
Basil: not big dangly black stone ones though (earrings)...
Well, Spaniards are all crazy, no? heh heh. Strange use of the word.
Those sure as hell were adolescents who stole my wallet in Seville though. But they wouldn't have been lacking for much afterwards.
At first I thought it was the crowd at a Kenny Rogers concert.
The lady in the red shirt has a bad case of alien hand syndrome and the lady in the black cardigan is just trying to get away.
