Ithaca Swing Dancer of Ithaca, New York
Frankie Manning passed away today April29, 2009

Dear Friend and Supporter,Today we have lost yet another. Frankie Manning, dance innovator and honorary leader of the present-day lindy hop community, passed away this morning. In addition to his many contributions to the art of lindy hop, Frankie was part of the Tony Award winning dream team of choreographers on the Broadway production of "Black and Blue" which also included Cholly Atkins, Henry LeTang, and Fayard Nicholas.

We have posted some online resources at www.taplegacy.org, and will send information regarding further events as we receive them. In the meantime, take a moment to remember the joy that has been spread by this wonderful man.


Sincerely,

Elijah B. Torn (Live PA, NYC)
"the one and only live-looping sonic vigilante!"

with a supporting set by Ithaca's own DJ Laika and VJ Philosophia
SATURDAY, May 9th 2009The Lost Dog Lounge(on the Commons, downtown Ithaca)10pm til' late.

---------------------------------

Come join Deep beatZ for one last end-of-semester extravaganza!Elijah B Torn (aka Charlie Foxtrot, aka Thaddeus Ignatious Torn) is a sonic-vigilante, boombastic bass-blipping, live-looping, hand-wired light show-providing, sonic assault. Born with looping device in-hand, Torn has been creating electronic music for well over fifteen years. But you won't find him checking his email on-stage! Along with his laptop, he plays electric bass and guitar, which are used as the centerpieces for creating fresh textures & sounds. No sound is safe from Torn. From cassette tapes to field recordings, Torn uses them all to create his signature playful sound which has been heard on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and WNYC’s New Sounds. His second album “You are Lucky I am Not a Vigilante” is currently out on iTunes. He has also remixed tracks for the acclaimed experimental jazz/rock trio Hans Blix in addition to winning composer awards through his work with recording studio, MassiveMusic. This guy is an absolute genius and is coming to Ithaca for one night only!

Opening the night will be local electronics genius David Ezra Brown. Some of you may know Brown as one-half of the local hip-hop/ electronics group, D.A.M.A.G.E. Still equipped with the same cool gear: Ableton Live (laptop), drum pads, synths, and other hardware, Brown's new solo project meanders in a more jazzy, downtempo direction, focusing on the lusciousness of each beat. Dave's got a ton of fresh new material - so come early!

Rounding out the night will be Ithaca's inimitable queen of deep beatZ, DJ Laika. Known for instigating audience head-nods and body grooves while checking her email, Laika's dj sets combine lush, sexy sounds with a good dose of futurism. She's definitely a big fan of the Berlin-style minimal techno sound but one can expect to hear multiple electronic genres and music that draws heavily from acoustic elements in jazz and hip-hop. Accompanying Laika will be visuals by local awesome VJ, Philosophia.

How can your experience as a student leader in student organization can be transfered into a more reality off - campus organization, or club?


The answer is simple. Here in tompkins county any one who is a resistance of Ithaca - Tompkins county can purchase a D.B.A. Cost = $ 25.00.


None the less, you should take a look at the following:


One: What is your focus? This means you will have to compose a simple statement of what is your organizations scope and purpose.


Two: Find a local sponsor who is willing to act as an advisory compacity. At present I will be promoting this with the Ithaca Downtown Partnership as part of its marketing plan.


Three: Leadership of the organization, term limits, and additional transitition in which the present leadership has found they want to stay in Ithaca and from which they are encourage to develop private businesses. It is this last point in which the entire Students / Scholars Clubs OnLine Network was envisioned for, and nothing else.
