As you may remember from last summer, every year TheOccasionalFag, through Brian,  goes to the incredible Fire Island Dance Festival to help set up the stage and house, run the show and then strike everything.

What you may not know is that he takes a great deal of pictures. 

Then, when he gets home, he sits down to his mac and makes a little iMovie with them (much like Rosie always used to do on her talk show...).  It really is his way of enjoying the weekend again as when you're in the middle of anything it is hard to stand back and view it for all the incredibleness that it is.  This is his way of doing just that.

He started to share his little iMovies with the DRA (Dancers Responding to AIDS) staff and now he is sharing them with you.  They're not much more than slide shows set to music, but they capture a bit of the magic and that is something.

This video is of images from last year's Dance Festival ('06).  Brian just got back (2 hours ago) from this year's Festival ('07) and will be posting all from that (both a podcast and vidcast) as it gets edited.

Note: The emphasis of the '06 video presented here is of images of the DRA staff and volunteers.  Not so much of the Dancers.  That will be the '07 vid.  To see similar videos of the '05 and '04 Dance Festivals click here (BG Videos) for Brian Griffin's personal website.
